Hey, remember when Melania Trump refused to move into the White House after Donald Trump first took office and instead stayed for six months in her luxury apartment at the top of Trump Tower in New York City?
She said it was because she didn’t want to pull 10-year-old Barron out of school mid-year. But it turns out it was actually because she was renegotiating her prenuptial agreement. At least, according to a new book by a Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter.
In “The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump,” Mary Jordan claims Melania was pissed off about all the dirt that came out during the 2016 presidential campaign, particularly the stuff about her husband cheating on her, running around town with Playboy models, and bragging about sexually assaulting women, and she needed time to “cool off.”
Jordan also claims Mrs. Trump wanted to “amend her financial arrangement with Trump” to ensure that little Barron wouldn’t be shut out of the family business or cheated of his inheritance like Trump’s forgotten fourth child, Tiffany.

“She wanted proof in writing that when it came to financial opportunities and inheritance, Barron would be treated as more of an equal to Trump’s oldest three children,” writes Jordan.
A spokeswoman for the First Lady, however, says this is absolutely 100% not true.
“Yet another book about Mrs. Trump with false information and sources,” Stephanie Grisham, Melania Trump’s chief of staff, said. “This book belongs in the fiction genre.”
In the book, Jordan also writes that Melania is just as egotistical and myopic as Donald, which is probably why she’s managed to stay married to him for longer than any of his other wives.
“Both are avid creators of their own history,” Jordan writes, adding that the whole #FreeMelania hashtag is pointless since she doesn’t want to be freed and is, in fact, very content with being a trophy wife to the most powerful man in the world.
“She is … much more like him than it appears,” Jordan adds. “They are both fighters and survivors and prize loyalty over almost all else. … Neither the very public Trump nor the very private Melania has many close friends. Their loner instincts filter into their own marriage.”

If its true, and it rings of truth, I don’t blame Melania at all, its quite astute of her to do this and not trust the older three hyenas who will chew and spit out Baron at a drop of a hat. She had little bunker boy in a sensitive spot, and was able to milk him before agreeing to play the role of “the first lady”.

Aren’t there four (Ivampirika, Spawn Jr., Eric, and Tiffany), or are you saying Tiffany isn’t a hyena?

I didn’t include her because I thought she was f*cked over already?

@Hussein…….”If its true, and it rings of truth,”
Hussein, two or three years ago I believed damn near everything I read. I too believe this but you resonated a thought I have been having since mid April about this damn virus, the reasons why a man (Trump) surely was told what was going on and he did nothing. Its almost as if all of the Sh….. that is going on WAS planned and designed to do nothing else but pull the country apart even further. If Pence were worth the weight of three dead gnats he would be president by now, or it makes me wonder what the hell the Russians have on him like to do Trump and Graham. I joked before but now I know a Manchurian Candidate was elected and was put in control of a governing body just as guilty and compromised as he is, on both sides of the aisle.

Totally makes sense, and the longer WaPo article is worth reading!
NateOcean
Yes, by all means read the WaPo article. Here, Graham Gremore cherry-picks a few sympathatic segments that support Melania. The WaPo article give many details from Jordan’s book that reveal what a conniving manipulator Melania real is. She lies constantly about everything (fake university degree , foreign languages, etc.). She lies about how she met Donald. She feeds Trump’s ego and helped him spread the crap about Obama being foreign born. Just an awful person.
The book also says, the two really seem to be in love. Which would explain the separate bedrooms.
peteinpa001
Hit the nail on the head, perfect example of an amazing First Lady….. good for her to use all the cards given to her by nature, ie beauty knowledge etc, to buffalo the citizens of the USA, to have her sitting in the White House at our expense. Kudos to the system. Just wanted Pete to be our next president. Don’t understand why the moral majority wouldn’t support a gay guy. They supported a slut, porn star for First Lady.
Vince
The Evangelicals support them out of hate and bigotry that has nothing at all to do with morals.
jonasalden
Not a fan of Melania, but where do you get the idea that she was a porn star? I’ve NEVER heard that uttered before you.
Mack
jonasalden, She was a “soft porn” star before she married Donald. Google for her pictures. They’re out there for the whole world to see.

First WHORE…
From The Whorehouse to the White House
Tombear
No,no, no Melania was NEVER a common whore! Melania was a very high priced call girl.
Sister Bertha Bedderthanyu
Of course she has no friends. Who the hell would be seen with her or invite her to a party? The events she does appear at always have looked extremely stage or should I say she looks very pained when asked questions or even photograph. I have ALWAYS felt that when she is filmed anywhere with him she got to wherever it is (the White House, Mar-A-lago, Trump hotels and such) the day and only hours before the event. It wouldn’t shock me if there is a special cargo van (bar, leather couch…all the right trappings) that whisks her from and back to the private airplane the equivalent of a palace once its all over regards of the next time she needs to make an appearance. She does not live in that White House and we all know it. Doesn’t is strike ANY of you as odd she was not present at that recent church photo op?

Melanoma Tramp, The First Lady of The Evening, is complicit with the movement to further bring fascism to the US. Given the history of where she is originally from, her silence on the activities of the Orange Nazi, her fight for birtherism, her silence about kids in cages and wear a “I don’t really care” jacket, are indicative of who she is. I’m sure she wants her son to share in the ill gotten gains.
Yooper
Jackie Kennedy Onassis did the same, ensured the future financial viability of her spawn by marrying Onassis. The difference is, Jackie was a symbol of strength, elegance, and grace (in my book), Melania is pure trash and a major “see you next Tuesday”.
Max
if it isn’t true, then Melania has zero ambitions and is nothing but a plastic shell.
ScottOnEarth
This low-rent, cheap call-girl is in no way a First Lady by any delusional stretch of the imagination. She’s a gold-digging bottom-feeder who found herself a desperate, despicable sugar-daddy. Then, through a sick twist of fate, she ends up in the White House, pretending to know five languages and trying to act like she isn’t a wife-for-hire.

She didn’t want to live the orange maggot. Also, it would be tough to keep f*cking Don Jr. with the orange idiot around.

Well Malaria made a deal with Trump in exchange for his desire to grab her.
Doug
Why does she always pose for photos with the same, dumb expression? She clearly thinks she’s still a model, even though she’s in the White House.
sonic_source
I had the exact same reaction to this photo of the of the First “Lady.” Every picture of her looks like she’s posing for “beat your meat” section of Maxim Magazine.
Creamsicle
You think she can still control enough of her facial muscles to make another expression? That face is at least 67% filler.

I physically want to vomit at the very thought of either of them.

Every time media talks about Hillary Clinton they’ll bring up emails or Monica Lewinsky, yet when media talks about Melania they never mention……
Her lying about graduating college
Her phony Einstein Visa
Her lying on camera and stating she wrote her convention speech “All by herself” that was plagiarized from Michelle Obama
Her trying to claim she started a new White House program that was also stolen from Michelle Obama
Her visiting kinds in cages wearing a jacket saying she doesn’t care
And now, her wasting millions of tax dollars to maintain a separate resident, using her young son to lie and gain sympathy, all while trying to renegotiate her pre-nup.
Media needs to do it’s job.
