(34,510 posts)but Melania is a beautiful woman who somehow manages to find clothes that make her look strange or bad.
Her hubby looks bad in his clothes too, but for different reasons.

How pitiful that someone over 70 is so unhappy, and determined to make everyone else unhappy too.
He is simply a mean and warped man.

(63,221 posts)paying for a lifetime of cruelty, vindictiveness and corruption. There is a big, black hole where his soul should be. I honestly think he is living a hellish existence and I don't feel one bit sorry for him because he brought it all on himself.

(24,259 posts)Seeing the craptastic quality of lawyers that Trump hires I suspect if she could find a truly good lawyer they'd be able to find a way to invalidate or break any pre-nup.
I just get the feeling there's more to this than 'just' the money. Emotional blackmail and abuse is not something I'd put past Trump, would you?
Here's one way that's not as uncommon with immigrant spouses as it should be... even though she's an American citizen now he may have her convinced that he can get that revoked and she, and now her parents, would be sent back to Slovenia, penniless and without Barron.

(34,510 posts)Maples didnt get much for herself or her child, and each time he probably learned more about how to write the prenup. I really think there are terms in the agreement that would make her forfeit a lot and are hard to break.
Any of those other thoughts could be possible, too. But I think they essentially lead separate lives now and so there is less chance for him to be abusive. I cant imagine that he would want Barron and certainly a judge would look at the two of them and say that Barron is better off with her than with him. Wasnt that done with the older children? So I dont think she would be dumb enough to believe any lies that hes going to get primary custody.
I wonder when it will all fall apart.
Why is she wearing an apron? Did she grill the dogs herself?

(10,847 posts)hostage. The most relaxed I've seen her was at Barbara Bush's funeral.
Strange that, no?
Btw, I loved her white outfit earlier today, including the hat (I love hats). But this dress?
I don't think so.
Ilsa
(61,709 posts)I wonder if she spent the night there?
Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)sort of a body apron she'll remove when she's ready to sit down at the dinner table after cooking all day.
I'm sure she got the word about not holding his hand earlier in the day. She has to be sending the public a signal/message when she shuns him like that.
Wonder what that rag cost.
