Word on the street is that on Tuesday, at a private fundraising event for top Republican fundraisers, Donald Trump went a little rogue.
At first he was just reminiscing, thinking about that time the Louisana Republican Steve Scalise got shot as you do. But then he came out with this gem of a line: [Scalises wife] cried her eyes out when I met her at the hospital that fateful day
I mean not many wives would react that way to tragedy, I know mine wouldnt.
We can only guess that Trump said this in jest, of course. But that line can be read in so many ways that soon, it was an online talking point for people eager to share their views on his and Melanias relationship. Maybe he is saying Melania Trump hates him so much she wouldnt even cry at his funeral. Maybe hes saying that after all the strain that their marriage has gone through, she has no more tears left to give? Maybe he was genuinely being funny. Who knows?
Of course, this is not the first time the presidential couple and their relationship invited speculation. Here are others: Love moves in mysterious ways. But you know what moves more mysteriously? The first ladys hands. In short, she repeatedly appears to refuse to hold her husbands hand in public.

When Trump got his big moment on the Jumbotron at the World Series this week, the timing couldnt have been worse. Hearing the crowd chant lock him up!, he went from an ear-to-ear grin to a scowl. His better half, strangely, went from cat-like-grin, to serious face, back to cat-like grin in a matter of seconds. Like someone trying to put on a very serious face whilst trying not to burst out laughing.

Just today, I read something about tRump's Greenland boondoggle. It seemed ancient and unbelievable at the same time.
I know I can't keep up.

(6,212 posts)I think many wives/partners would be crying their eyes out if their husband/partner just got shot. He makes such idiotic statements and none are ever funny.

Real love shows its true face. The love of money and what it can give a person, rears its ugly head. There appears betwern the Trumps, no real love.

It only makes sense that there is one. Even if there was any reason to believe it was a love match, a third marriage with 4 kids from previous marriages would probably need one even without a family business in the mix.
Then I get into my curiosity about details.
How punitive is the non-disparagement clause? Does it go both ways?
How was the sponsorship of her parents' citizenship handled?
Were there incentives (for either party) around having a child?
