We need a camera focused on her during this speech.
I wonder what trump is using to bribe her to attend? https://politicalwire.com/2018/01/29/first-lady-will-attend-state-union/
New York Times: Mrs. Trump and the president have had a tumultuous relationship at times over the years, but few episodes have roiled the peace as much as the news surrounding Ms. Daniels. The reports of a payoff blindsided the first lady, who was furious with her husband, according to two people close to the couple. She has kept a low profile since.
On Tuesday, Mrs. Trump is expected to resurface. The White House said that she would attend Mr. Trumps State of the Union address, typically the most high-profile appearance of the year for first ladies.

https://www.cnn.com/2018/01/29/politics/first-lady-guests-state-of-the-union/index.html
Washington (CNN)First lady Melania Trump and President Donald Trump will welcome beneficiaries of Trump's tax cuts and families who have lost loved ones at the hands of the MS-13 gang to the State of the Union address Tuesday night.
The first lady will sit with the 15 guests in her own box in the Capitol, the White House announced Monday. Guests of the first family have long been a tradition at State of the Unions. They typically illustrate the President's agenda and achievements and provide some insight into what the President will focus on his address.
Corey Adams
The President, who is sure to highlight his success with getting tax cuts through Congress, will likely point to Corey Adams in the first lady's box as an example of its success. Although not yet kicked into paychecks, Adams and his wife have decided to invest their money from the cuts into their daughters' education savings, according to the White House.

(25,485 posts)We have a so-called first lady who has all the perks but none of the responsibilities that go with the position. She cost us $675, 000. in travel for 3 months alone and when she goes to NYC it costs a mil a day. She knew/knows who he is/was. I find no angst in myself for her 'outrage'.

Gimme' a break. The gold-digging soft porn model who married President Shithole for his money is furious because
he paid off a porn star for sex while she was recovering from having a baby? What did she expect? The guy is a creep.
A loser. An a$$hole.
I have zero respect for Melania and zero sympathy for her marital woes. She made her bed.

(145,130 posts)I did a law review note on the spousal privilege way back when the code of evidence was somewhat new. The privilege belongs to the testifying spouse and I suspect that if she turns of trump we will be in for a great show
Ligyron
(7,627 posts)Especially if it looks like Trump is going down and his empire is crashing down around her. The whole basis of her attraction to Dump was money and if that goes...
It ain't the great sex, that's for sure.
