(79,495 posts)I know she has boyfriends, she has had them for a long time.
One was serious right before Trump was installed into the WH.
But I have not heard much lately about her bfs.

(4,471 posts)So probably the prototypical Manhattan fancy man
Pretty hot,I would say from the pictures.

(79,495 posts)The DC rumor mill said Melania was in fact going to divorce Trump and run off with this guy, the guy in security.
But then Trump was installed into the WH and she couldn't file for divorce.
AND she made Trump pay out the nose.
If you recall she initially said she was not moving to DC for the sake of her son
because he was in school in NYC.
This was BS, she was renegotiating her prenup.
She must have gotten herself a good deal because from what I can tell Trump
was furious.
If you recall at the inauguration Trump turns to Melania and says something to her.
Her face fell big time and she looked devastated. I can well imagine the kind of thing he said to her
for her to look like that.

It was said she was visiting the beau.

(79,495 posts)She probably charged everything to the US taxpayer.
Seeing her boyfriend and having a great time on our dime.
That's why Trump pretending he had to keep his affair with Stormy a secret because
of his wife. She does not give a rat's behind who he sleeps with.
They do their own thing in that marriage.
Some of the rumors are that Melania never really lived in the WH.
She bought her parents a house in nearby Virginia and she and Barron lived there with them.

(4,471 posts)with Trump. I suspect she charges him $100K or so (cash on the doorhead) every time she makes an appearance there.
Irish_Dem
(79,495 posts)she loaded it up with conditions and payments.
She got a big lump sum to even move into the DC area.
And then received large sums of cash for each appearance and activity.
I did see at least one appearance with Trump that was clearly not Melania.
Woman looked 30 years younger than Melania and different body shape and mannerisms.
The biggest give away was that Trump was playing kissy face with the double and she was
letting him.
I thought when Melania flew out of DC with Trump when he finally left the WH was telling.
She gets on the airplane looking like a First Lady, professional dress.
She gets off the airplane in a big ugly mumu and flip flops kind of outfit.
Clearly letting everyone, including Trump, she was done with the whole charade of being a FLOTUS.
And we have seen no sign of Melania since that day.

(4,471 posts)I remember someone tracked it to the designer, and it was like $3000.
To pay that much for something that my old grandmother would have used as a dust rag....
The rich really are different!
Irish_Dem
(79,495 posts)The dress was covered in bright orange hexagons.
People said it looked like a 1970 kitchen or bedspread.
I think it was a big FU to the American people.
She no longer had to pretend to do any work for the them.
And look the part of First Lady.
And she no longer had to wear American designer labels which she hated doing.
She loved the European design houses and got pushback for wearing them most of the time.
Because her husband was all about "America First."
Melania and Trump are very well met.

(28,460 posts)Of Epstein's that listed all the johns that had been "serviced"?
The story of Epstein's death had so much stink on it that it could be smelled way into New Jersey.
There'll probably be a book about all this 30yrs from now when telling the truth won't be so dangerous.

This isn't the first time someone has inquired about why Melania has been absent amid Trump's troubles with the law. Nearly a month ago, former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) said Donald Trump's family hasn't been with him during the criminal cases he's facing, and that could be because they are sick of him.....
"In advance of Saturday's Cy-Hawk football game between the Iowa Hawkeyes and the Iowa State Cyclones, politics was in the air. Literally," according to the report. "With former President Donald Trump set to attend the game, a 'Where's Melania?' banner inquiring about the whereabouts of former first lady Melania Trump was flown above the Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa."
It continues:
"Melania Trump has been virtually absent from the campaign trail, instead remaining in Florida with the couple's son, Barron Trump. The former first lady firmly backs her husband's 2024 campaign but, according to The New York Times, has kept a low profile due to feelings of betrayal from an array of friends, aides, and family members during her time in the White House."

(3,905 posts)The Where's Melania banner flying overhead was the first thing I saw after parking my car. it was sweet!
Overall, from my experience at the event, there was not a whole lot of political buzz, quite frankly. Apparently there was some pro trump chants, but I was not privy to them as I was on the other side of the stadium from where dumbass made his appearance. A few MAGA hats, no arguments broke out from what I saw. People were just there for the game and the tailgates. There were likenesses of trump and a bespecticaled guy wearing masks, presumably a dig at Fauci, though it was not a good likeness.
Not really the splash dumbass was probably hoping for.
