He just told her that he arranged sanctuary for her and Barron or Richard Branson's island. Just kidding, but I wouldn't put it past him do do something like that. He and Michelle saw first-hand on inauguration day how her asshole husband treated her.

We know Trump is emotionally abusive. I’m not saying she doesnt play any part unwillingly. Im just saying its possible. We know how he is to the public...imagine what hes like behind closed doors. Abused women can put a smile on their face for the public, and be forced to do their husband’s bidding. The course of an abusive relationship is often a rollercoaster, with the abuser trying to make amends constantly after their abusive behavior. So you’ll see lighthearted moments like that. We also know Ivana Trump and her accusations that she “retracted”. I would imagine it would be quite a nightmare getting out of a marriage with Donald Trump (I’ll take Barron away, ruin your life, you’ll be destitute, Ive got kompromat that will destroy you, etc).

I just choose to assume he’s abusive because of the way he treats everyone. He is a malignant narcissist after all.

If anything, we’ve seen him gaslight half the u.s. Imagine being influenced by his chronic lying for 2 decades. I choose not to see things in black and white.

It gets re-used a lot but I see two articles from spring of '16 using it.
I'm not a fan and don't mean to defend her but I think the general take on her is that she hasn't been happy with Donnie since her pilfered speech at the convention. Most shots I've seen of her smiling since then have looked pretty icy and forced to me.

I have no insights into their relationship (nor do I care) but I do think it is important to remember that she played a role in the birther stuff back in the day.

to suggest that Melania is super happy and content being married to Donald? Lol

I'm no fan of Melania either, but she's clearly in a loveless marriage with The Dimwit. Sorry to burst your bubble.

That whole loathsome crew seems pretty miserable.

My only point is that she is very much part of the dark side and has been seen smiling at Trump's side on several occasions.

She is bad news in my book. Do you remember her birther comments from 2011? I sure do.

I wonder if he she took the time to apologize to the President Obamas for falsely suggesting that he isn't an American citizen? Doubt it.
