Melania Trump

[Smowball]

I don't know much about her life before Donald became President, but I imagine it was pretty glamorous, she was fairly free to go where she wanted , shopping, meeting friends etc - all the perks of being married to a wealthy man.
But I imagine now her life has changed beyond what she expected? She's still a young woman and I bet she can't go anywhere at all on her own; can't drive, can't just pop for drinks with friends, can't stroll round the shops...
Do you not think she's probably incredibly unhappy?

i'd put money on her being an ex mrs trump within ten years :-(

[agchristie]

She won't have any money worries and a lot of other problems which millions face.

All about perspective I guess...

Hi, Smow....I should think that if she can put up with being married to Trump she can cope with anything but she's in a very lucky position......
If she doesn't like her life she has everything needed to leave and move on.....many don't have that choice....x

[Smowball]

I agree. Just the thought of her lifestyle now depresses me. Like being a caged animal.

Smowy....I just can't help but think of this clip from the sadly missed Mrs Merton Show :::

[Smowball]

I think it sounds a horrendous way of life. And just the thought of the horizontal lambada with Trumpy......eek!!

[Smowball]

I loved that clip Mikey - so funny!

[Islay]

I would imagine she lives in constant fear of a divorce!
I would also imagine that there is a iron clad prenup in place!

[scooping]

The 'caged animal' signed up for it. Why feel sorry for her? Or are we going to revert to the 'poor woman' argument, which is incredibly sexist.

[Smowball]

Not at all, am saying that I wouldn't like that lifestyle

[mikey4444]

The difficulty here is that even if she walks out and leaves Trump with a Dear John letter, her life will never be the same again. She will always be tailed by Secret Service people, as ex-Presidents and relatives are, especially in these heightened security times.

I can't help feel a little sorry for her.

[mikey4444]

Thanks Smowy....its always worth trotting out every now and then !

[jambutty]

I feel far, far sorrier for poor caged animals than her.

[ladybirder]

She may have made a calculating decision when she married him but I bet never in her wildest dreams did she ever think she would become First Lady. I agree Smow, I think she is unhappy and it shows and I also think she intends that it shows. She snubs him in public as when she rebuffed his attempting to hold her hand a few days ago and many other times. Just maybe it's a bit of payback because she knows he can't do anything about it, well not at the time anyway. But I don't think he is a man to forget a snub.

In fairness I doubt she really thought her husband would ever be in the Whitehouse. !!!!

[mikey4444]

Anne...nether did anyone else !

[jambutty]

The only way I feel sorry for her is that she has to have sex with that man (ughhhhh).

[mikey4444]

She always looks so stony-faced to me....those Slavic cheekbones are perhaps not her best asset.

[steg]

"Anne...nether did anyone else !"

Apart from Putin.... allegedly

[anneasquith]

Obviously apart from Putin steg. !!!!!!
