notices her existence at all. She is simply a decoration he drags around to show the world how manly HE is. She tolerates that behavior so why would anyone feel sorry for her?

The work is easy and it pays great.
Only bad part is all the puking.

Caitlyn Jenner and Maleria look like sisters, if not twins!!

.... when he drops his pants.

I'm not going to defend this. Her discussion with Joy Behar is disgraceful. However, do you think she would go on television and contradict her husband? She probably is afraid of him.

"When you marry for money, you earn every penny."

But she didn't .

She's a deplorable racist, just like her faux-gold sugar-daddy.

they deserve help or not?

Let her be a cautionary tale.

Fair enough.

I want to know how her parents got into the US, since they were Communist Party members. Her father was in a leadership position in their local party. They live at tRump Tower now. Who helped them get visas to come here to iive? Is the father the connection between tRump and Vlad? Why does she still speak broken English after all these years? Does she only converse with her parents? If she speaks 5 languages as claimed, why isn't one of them English???

My use of the term "victim" was in reference to having to put up with Trump's obnoxious behavior in general. Cheating on your spouse is not domestic violence. Not waiting to escort your wife is not domestic violence.

And NO I don't feel that people with differing political beliefs don't deserve help if they are true victims of domestic violence.

She's in it for the money. That's the way I see it.

IF a woman happened to be in a domestic violence situation and needed to safely leave that situation, I would think having 24-hour Secret Service Protection would probably make that safe to do. We don't know that she is abused, and the fact that she chooses to stay is her decision. I'll reserve my sympathy and understanding to less fortunate women who might not have the ability to leave a bad relationship.

narcissistic a$$hole. A lot of women are married to awful people who don't treat them respectfully and lovingly, but that's not the definition of abuse.

I would like to know what evidence there is of her acting abused, as opposed to just feeling alienated, unhappy and much less powerful than him...

I totally agree with your post. I don't think she is "abused" in the "normal" sense (for lack of a better way to frame my argument). She may be unhappy, but that's not abused. She may be lonely, but that's not abused. She may not have wanted the limelight, but that's not abuse.

I mean, she is his THIRD wife and there is plenty of information out there about how he treated his first two wives. She's bound to have known what she was getting into.

The fact that she has chosen to live apart from him is telling to me. I don't buy the idea that it is for the benefit of their minor son. I think it is her decision and her desire to be away from him. It may be mutual with both Melania and Trump feeling that way. After all, they've been married for over a decade, and his history is that he likes a newer model (pun intended) at some point.

His heart is out of it.

Well, she certainly wanted the limelight when she was posing nude for the lesbian porn shoots.

You're right.

I have a feeling that's going to be a constant source of concern for the administration, too, and very well may be part of the decision to keep her out of the White House.

and most narcissists like to practice the emotional and verbal abuse. The more they can denigrate, humiliate and marginalize someone, the more powerful they feel.

If you ask me, she shows clear signs of being emotionally abused. She rarely smiles in his presence.

However, I have no sympathy for her whatsoever. It's not like she couldn't divorce him and walk away with enough money for the rest of her life. No one would blame her if she left him.

presence?

She sold her soul for this trip.
She can lay in her bed.

Ewwwwwwww.

She's an adult.
She is not a victim.

I could see if she was showing signs of distress, but all I see is Trump doing stupid things like walking ahead of her.

She has some awkward facial expressions, but they could be do to age, botox, stress, squinting because she needs glasses, anxiousness over all the pomp and protocol.

Other than that, she manages to have perfect hair, perfect clothes and a perfect figure. She obviously finds time to take care of herself. She looks a lot happier than the average frazzled 45 year old housewife who is trying to juggle kids and a full-time job.

but apparently can't walk out on his money. Poor little rich girl all alone in her golden palace.

Her days as mrs. donald trump are numbered, like all the rest of his wives. Happy landings, melania.....

only disdain. To accumulate more money then you can spend in several lifetimes is a clear sign of a sociopath.

Eva Braun was no hero in history neither. Just saying. If you sleep with evil you are evil. Yeah she's a mother-so just giving birth gives you a free pass? I don't think so.

These gold diggers have babies for the child support. Marla Maples did it, too. Marla did not wait until they were married, either.

I hate her.

But it doesn't appear that their marriage is a happy one. I am sure she has to obey his every wish to get that golden parachute when their marriage ends. Maybe she looks unhappy because she could have gotten out of it sooner if he had lost the election?

#alternativefacts

she made her own 'bed' let her sleep and puke in it....she's no 'victim' so far...but I saw how the boy-potus treated her throughout the inauguration.....he was pretty mean to her......

She's a low level porno actor who parlayed being a skinny illegal alien with big tits into being a golddigger. She has no class, no morals and she's every bit the liar her hubby is. I don't feel sorry for her at all, she got exactly what she asked for.

I freely admit I don't know much about Melania and I can't think right now why I should go out of my way to find anything out. I will leave Barron alone completely and I tend to leave the spouses of politicians alone too unless they really put themselves out there, at which point they are fair game. But, based on her behavior so far, I think Melania will be mostly a non-entity and won't inspire me to get too worked up.

But it's unbelievable how the right-wingers on my social media feeds right now are praising her up and down. To my certain knowledge, they know no more about her life than I do, yet every picture is an excuse to go on about how classy she is, how wonderful she is. So far I really only know three things about her.

1. She married a well-known womanizing narcissist. I can only speculate as to her reasons, and, in and of itself, it does not denote a lack of class, but it certainly doesn't make one classy (though I don't have to work too hard to think of highly un-classy reasons she would have married him).

2. She was a model who featured in many scantily clad photoshoots. Hey, her body, her choice. If that's what she wanted, it's not for me to say anything about it one way or the other. But it certainly doesn't fit in with the typical right wing definition of class.

3. Her only major speech was plagiarized. How much is her fault? Probably not much, but it certainly isn't favorable. And it sure as hell isn't "classy."

So my assumption is that they think she's classy because she looks good, dresses in expensive clothes, and she doesn't look like the last first lady. I'm forced to conclude that, based on the evidence, they feel rich, attractive, and white equals class. Based on what I know about most of these right-wingers, I think I nailed it.
