‘She is miserable’: Melania Trump reportedly unhappy with new role as First Lady



http://www.rawstory.com/2017/02/she-is-miserable-melania-trump-reportedly-unhappy-with-new-role-as-first-lady/

According to sources speaking with US Weekly, the wife of Donald Trump didn’t sign up to be in the political spotlight when she married him in 2005. The reluctance to play the role of wife of the president may be why the very private Melania has remained in their Manhattan penthouse while Trump spends his weekdays at the White House.

According to a friend of the family, the former model, “Is unhappy with how her life ended up. She is miserable.”

The First Lady has remained in New York since her husband was inaugurated. She joins him in Florida when he makes his weekly sojourn to his Mar-a-Lago resort, where she poses for the cameras with him, saying she is most happy there because she “Loves Palm Beach.”

***

“Melania has the Secret Service take Barron to school and retrieve him,” the source explained.

Added to the First Lady’s woes is the fact that her attorneys now say that attacks on her have damaged her prospects of launching a multi-million dollar fashion line under her own name.

1. The feeling's mutual. n/t

[Blue_Adept]

2. We're just as miserable, Melania. We get it.

[SummerSnow]

21. After his stint as POTUS, she'll be filing for divorce

[Ilsa]

32. In a thread last night, it was said that Mark Thompson,

a liberal radio talk show host, said that a very reliable source had told him that Melania had plans to file for divorce after he lost the election. She's pissed he won because now she feels trapped. I think she should file anyway.

[dhol82]

53. That might be why she's pissed about not making millions from her product line.

Doubt that she will walk away from this marriage with a honey pot.

[Thrill]

3. Of course. We all could see that at the inauguration

I think shes just miserable being with Trump any way.

[alterfurz]

75. "The woman who marries for money usually earns every penny"

[Miles Archer]

121. Money allows all kinds of self-medication and ways to cope

Her coping mechanism was the desire to mirror Ivanka and have a "line" of products, and now there is no "line," no market for a "line," and so she sits in Trump Tower watching Barron watch cartoons, and hating her life.

That said, it's her life, and without having any kind of idea what Trump's attorneys put in the pre-nup, she's free to leave at any time.

[Lotusflower70]

4. Aw

Cry me a river, build a fucking bridge and get over it. Seriously? This woman needs to grow up or shut up. Yeah I said it. She could be working on that anti-bullying campaign she spoke of. And I don't even want to start on her lawsuit comments. Ugh. She is so pathetic. Harsh? Maybe but I really don't care.

[katsy]

6. 👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻 this

Ty

[tallahasseedem]

14. Ditto

[Doreen]

26. Kind of hard to fight for ant-bullying when

your husband who is the dictator does it constantly.

[Lotusflower70]

31. I understand that

But everything begins at home. You have to start somewhere.

[Doreen]

40. Yeah, I agree with you.

I was kind of sorta being sarcastic with my comment.

[Lotusflower70]

44. Ah ok

Sorry it's hard to tell with the sarcasm sometimes. I started off having some sympathy for her but that is pretty much gone now.

[MoonRiver]

59. Not harsh at all.

He was the same repulsive asshole when she married him. Her choice 100%.

[Lotusflower70]

62. Agreed

I prefer to be blunt but some people think it's harsh. It's just reality. She chose it.

[MoonRiver]

65. I can't imagine having to live with that POS, no matter how much money he threw at me.

But she obviously thought it was to her advantage. I do not sympathise with her at all. Barron is another matter. Poor kid.

[Lotusflower70]

66. I know right

No amount of money in the world is worth that. My sympathy is definitely with Barron.

[bdamomma]

73. I really don't think 45

has a very close relationship with Barron, 45 is just concerned about himself.

[Lotusflower70]

90. Me either

He seems very detached from him just he is with Tiffany.

[NastyRiffraff]

81. Yeah Barron is the only one in that family I have sympathy for

Melania had to know he was a misogynist thug when she married him. AND she campaigned for him (albeit reluctantly). I have zero sympathy for her.

[samnsara]

5. private?

with all the soft porn pics of her circulating the world I think that trains long gone...

[Goblinmonger]

49. Yes, anyone that has taken soft porn pictures

is someone that wants to be in the spotlight like that. for the impaired.

We don't need to slut shame Melania.

[etherealtruth]

7. Has she done much (anything) in the role of first lady?

At the inauguration ... yes (she was present), but has she actually done anything?

[sunonmars]

10. She is window dressing, thats it, honestly, she'll be dumped as soon as he is thrown out of the WH.

[Ilsa]

33. She was planning to divorce Don the Con

after the election, according to a source who told a liberal talk show host. It was in a thread on DU last night.

[Miles Archer]

46. Walked through a garden with the Japanese PM's wife. Cried. Had a muffin. Cried again.

"She's already done more in her first three weeks as First Lady than Michelle did in two terms!"

[sunonmars]

8. You married it Melania, your problem....you didn't marry a saint, you married a thug.

[Takket]

9. Talk to your Husband about it

Tell him you want him to resign and come home to be with you.

Good luck

[JenniferJuniper]

11. No sympathy. Divorce the pig if he didn't consult with you first.

[msanthrope]

12. Let her eat cake. nt

[mahina]

13. Pua 'ting, you.

[Cha]

15. More LEAKS!!!

[sunonmars]

17. I actually think Melania wants out, this is probably coming directly from her.

Its obvious she does not want the job or intends to do it.

[Cha]

24. blotus can tweet about his wife leaking sensitive

information then.

All the stuff that gets leaked seems to be true.

[bdamomma]

74. that is why Ivanka is stepping in

isn't her line sinking?????

[DefenseLawyer]

16. As the good doctor once said

Buy the ticket, take the ride.

[livetohike]

18. Whining is a Trump family value. Did anyone ever see a more miserable First

Family?

[Doreen]

30. I think his three children of the corn look plenty happy.

They might be the only ones in this country that are happy.

[BlueStater]

19. It's not like she really loves him to begin with.

She married the pig for money and now she's patiently waiting for him to kick the bucket so she can have it all.

[SummerSnow]

20. She's unhappy with her husband. That's what going on here.

[lunatica]

22. Shit happens

[superpatriotman]

23. Turn that frown upside down!

Sing with me...

Always look on the bright side of life!

Etc.

[Tanuki]

25. At least she has her son with her. Guadalupe Garcia de Rayos is not so fortunate.

She is in a shelter in Mexico, separated from her US citizen children, thanks to being rounded up and deported by Melania's devil of a husband. Her only "crime" was working illegally when she first arrived here 20 years ago. That's something Melania can relate to, since she did the same damn thing. I have to prioritize my sympathies these days, having only so many fucks available to give at any one time. Melania is pretty far down on the list. She has several hours of free time each weekday when Barron is in school, and she could spend that time doing something useful and rewarding if she chose to. I hope she will find a good therapist who can help her explore the source of her unhappiness and work toward making whatever changes are necessary to move on to greater fulfillment. I don't think the attorneys who are feeding her unrealistic fantasy of a "multi-million dollar fashion line under her own name" are doing her any favors.

[manicraven]

29. Awesome post!

[Motley13]

35. Her FLOTUS program was to stop cyber bullying

stopping cyber bullying begins at home, so far she is not doing so good

[Grammy23]

118. Maybe she knows more than we do...

The reason she hasn't started her Anti-bullying campaign is because she can read the tea leaves that tRump won't be in office long enough for her to bother.

I have seen few pictures of her where she looks genuinely happy. In many she has kind of a sultry glare, a vixen on the prowl. I am sure tRump likes it but in the role of First Lady...it is a bit disconcerting.

[Ilsa]

37. Great post. She needs to look into doing something

Helpful to other people, like volunteer work, protesting the president, etc.

[latinaliberal]

93. Well said

[sheshe2]

27. Boo Effing Hoo

We are none to pleased either.

[Boomerproud]

28. Don't care.

Make your bed and all that. I never think about her. Her First Lady Bio will be 1 page long.

[louis-t]

34. Sorry lady

You'll never be able to wash the stink off yourself. She made one brief attempt at some kind of agenda at first. I suppose realizing that her husband was the biggest cyber-bully on the planet stopped her in her tracks. No first lady agenda, no leadership, no respect, constantly in hiding...

[NRaleighLiberal]

36. get in line...join the club.

[Achilleaze]

38. What, the American people not good enough for her royal republican highness?

The whole freakin republican family is pissing on America's honor, dignity and national security.

[MindPilot]

71. I am beginning to dislike her as much as I loathe 45.

To me she has the demeanor of a "host" on Westworld. Everything about her is mechanical, artificial and programmed.

[still_one]

39. No offense, but who give a f**k that she is not happy?

[raccoon]

107. Right. She can afford the best therapy and the best meds money can buy.

And she can file for divorce.

[still_one]

108. That is exactly what I was thinking.

[Blue Owl]

41. Give her a little hand

n/t

[unblock]

42. she's free to redefine the role as she chooses.

i can see that a traditional first lady role can certainly suck, but donnie has thrown tradition and norms to the wind, so she has the perfect opening to redefine the role of first lady however she wants.

[Doreen]

43. There is always a price to pay

when you are a mail order bride or the equivalent of a mail order bride which she is.

[Blue_Tires]

45. my liberal heart bleeds for her

[Solly Mack]

47. Who cares?

[OldHippieChick]

48. Ditto

em

[NCjack]

50. I think she is just showing us her professional modeling

"I'm pissed off" look. Everyone is then supposed to approach her and say "I don't want you to be PO'd -- what can I do?" And she replies "Buy my sponsor's product, so he will pay me more." In this case, that means be nice to #45 so he will be good to his wife." Doesn't work on me.

[Maeve]

51. Lyrics from a song from 1899 always come to mind about her

She's only a bird in a gilded cage,
A beautiful sight to see,
You may think she's happy and free from care,
She's not, though she seems to be,
'Tis sad when you think of her wasted life,
For youth cannot mate with age,
And her beauty was sold,
For an old man's gold,
She's a bird in a gilded cage.

[jalan48]

52. I think this falls under the "Poor Snowflake" category.

[WhiteTara]

54. just another grifter. nt

[stevenleser]

55. I understand all the above opinions but I have a different take. Anyone want to bet against me when

I surmise that Trump never bothered to ask Melania whether she wanted him to run for President? That would be a real jerk move but I bet that is exactly what he did.

[bdamomma]

78. She was against his running

too bad his stubborn ass didn't listen to her. She was happy with her life.

[stevenleser]

83. Then that is a total asshole move. That's not a step you take without agreement

He didn't care about her or what she wanted.

She should divorce him.

[bdamomma]

85. She would be a lot happier

and I'm sure she would be financially set.

[loyalsister]

86. Given numerous divorces and what we heard straight from him

I don't think there is any reason to believe he treats her well. The campaign humiliated her by sending her out to give a plagiarized speech. Then comes the videos and she knows everyone in the world knows she is married to a man who does not respect women at all.
I think she must be very unhappy and probably is not able to leave the marriage.

[JI7]

100. she still went along and went on TV defending him over his admitting sexual assault

i don't think she is as bad as his 2 older sons and ivanka but i don't feel bad for her at all .

[2naSalit]

56. Snif...

[50 Shades Of Blue]

58. LOLOL!!!!!

[DinahMoeHum]

57. Excuse me while I reach for a Kleenex. . .NOT

[Corgigal]

60. She probably forced to spend more time

with her husband that she ever thought she had too. Meds only help so much.

Sucks to be you, pack your suitcase and leave. At least, someone might take you, for enough funds. Lots of DU'ers wished they had that option. I'm sure they have an extra apt in Snowdens building.

[oasis]

61. On the plus side, she now has limited morning wake ups w/ Cheeto.

[CountAllVotes]

63. Divorce the freak

[central scrutinizer]

64. Bwah hah hah hah

Sorry, but I ran out of fucks to give a long time ago, you privileged gold digger.

[LisaM]

67. A DUer pointed out a few weeks ago that WE can't opt out of this national tragedy...

so why should she be able to?

I'd give credit, but I can't remember who said it. Anyway, I thought it was brilliant.

[matt819]

68. No one cares about you

Including your husband.

You were an illegal immigrant trophy wife. You made your proverbial bed. Go lie down on it. Or get out of your marriage. Your choice. You're costing this country tens ic millions of dollars. No one cares if you haz a sad.

[MindPilot]

69. Classic gold-digger. Poor thing, sold your body and your soul.

Are you starting to discover the guy whom you married for money, doesn't actually have any?

Suck it up, buttercup.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

70. What about Helping the Cheeeldren?????????????????????

[GoCubsGo]

72. Oh well.

[Eliot Rosewater]

76. She has two choices, go for the money or go for a legacy.

She could bring him down, expose to all what a horrid nightmare he is, that he reads and writes at a 4th grade level

That he calls people the N word and more.

She has a choice, the question is when she exposes him as one of the worst human beings alive on planet earth

WOULD IT MATTER?

Would republicans care?

[Tanuki]

122. Ironically, she could have money AND a legacy if she wrote a tell-all.

It would be a best seller. She would make millions and could live comfortably and independently for the rest of her life.

[Kimchijeon]

77. Oh well, gold-digger doesn't like the results

Cry me a river. No sympathy, she chose this life and she chose Trump- she could have just as easily went for another rich target. She knew what kind of narcissistic asshole he was going in, so big surprise. Get over it.

[SummerSnow]

79. She'll run this ad in a few years

[MFM008]

80. tired of trash from this family

why do they all think we are clamoring for their garbage?
"fashion line".....................

[d_r]

82. well then I'm so effing glad

that we can pay our taxes to support her staying in new york

[Charles Bukowski]

84. This birther asshat is costing taxpayers $1 million a day to stay in NYC

The more miserable she is, the better.

[onecaliberal]

87. Boo fucking hoo. I couldn't care less.

Maybe she needs cheese to go with her whine.

[MineralMan]

88. Divorce lawyers should start sending her their cards.

There must be a few thousand in NYC alone.

[tammywammy]

89. I do have some sympathy for her

She never signed up to be a politician's wife.

Also, with some of the stuff that falls to the First Lady, they should just hire staff. I don't think anyone should require an unpaid wife to be responsible for White House tours. State dinners can still be planned without a First Lady, the staff can make decisions on their own. I'm okay if she doesn't want to do the First Lady ceremonial gig. I can see why she'd show up to visit with like Prime Minister Abe's wife, but otherwise, if she just wants to stay in New York then I don't care.

[struggle4progress]

91. Can't Buy Me Love

[Maru Kitteh]

92. Um. GOOD. . . . GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD, GOOD.

Melania did not have to participate in her husbands racist birther crap. She did not have to attempt to discredit and delegitimize President Barack Obama in a nakedly race-based attack; but she did choose to do that.

Melania did not have to go on Anderson Cooper and defend and excuse that bloated maggot and his pussy-grabbing tape by trying to blame it all on Billy Bush "for egg him on" - a phrase she had clearly never used in her life; but she did choose to do that.

Melania did not have to belittle the seriousness of sexual assault against women by dismissing the hateful, violent words of her husband by dismissing it as "silly boy talks," but she did choose to do that.

Melania did not have to claim that every single woman (16? 17? more?) who came forward, painfully, with stories of how they had been sexually assaulted, abused and intimidated by Trump was a liar and berate the press for not investigating all of the women and their "backgrounds." But she did choose to do that.

Melania did not have to hole up in Manhattan, treating taxpayer-paid secret service as her private help to bus and fetch her kid from school while she lays about doing whatever the fuck she does up there all day, costing American tax payers a staggering fee of 1 MILLION dollars a DAY. Plenty of women who had little fondness for spending time with their presidential spouse somehow managed to live in the White House anyway. It's not good enough for her? Fuck you toots. She should be ashamed of costing this country so much for her selfishness; but she chose to do it anyway.

Finally, Melania did not have to scheme to use our house, our sacred home, the people's White House to hawk her nasty-ass fish-egg face plaster that she rubs her son down with head to toe every night, her ugly jewelry, and whatever else kind of Chinese-made garbage she was planning on QVC'ing from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue; but apparently, she had chosen to anyway.

Melania is miserable? GOOD.

[mshasta]

94. Don't give a f@ck

She wanted a rich guy.....now she better work for the American people.....You can't hide in your stupid tower ....I am paying your ass to get to work ....

[pinboy3niner]

95. She was doing okay until she found that old photo in his drawer...

Dear Ivanka, we'll always have parrots. --DJT

[Miles Archer]

112. That photo looks like an outtake of Jerry Reed in the Burt Reynolds movie "Gator"...

...Reed plays Bama McCall, the local bad guy who shakes down businesses for "protection" money, and whose base of operation is a bordello stocked exclusively with under aged girls.

[starshine00]

96. "the very private Melania"

christ on a cracker, if she's private then I must be damn near invisible or something...

[kskiska]

97. She's getting a little long in the tooth - 47, I think

Not many good years left. She's probably in menopause already. But surely she could latch onto another, more palatable, rich guy.

[erpowers]

98. She Can Not Make Money

I think she is unhappy in her marriage, but I think the real reason she is upset is that she will not make money off of being First Lady. I think she had plans to be all over HSN and QVC selling her line. I do not think the accusations of being a prostitute are what really hurt her chances of making millions of dollars while in the White House. I think, after Trump got elected, someone told her should would not be able to make money selling things because it might be against the law for the first lady to try to sell items. They may have told her that even if it was not illegal it was tacky and she just should not do such a thing. She may have seen what happened to Ivanka Kushner's line and realized that no one was going to buy anything she put out partly because of angry towards her husband's policies. So, now she is stuck as first lady for at least four years and she will most likely make little money off of the gig.

[area51]

99. "Wah."

Kwitcher Bitchin', and get a divorce!

[TrumpMania]

101. Poor girl...

the ex-callgirl without a real college degree is unhappy with beeing the First Lady.

[MFM008]

102. First escort

Can quit whining. Just because she chose to marry the most repulsive creature on Earth was entirely her call.
Isnt it terrible when rich pampered people are forced to be so miserable.

[malaise]

103. I don't give a flying

FUCK - we are way more miserable.

[underpants]

104. odd fact

"Pretty Woman" was originally written to be a dark movie that didn't end well.

Hold it. Maybe I posted this on the wrong thread. Sorry for the confusion if I did.

[grossproffit]

105. She could always ask Susan Sarandon to switch places with her.

[greymattermom]

106. All that gold, as they say on HGTV,

is dated.

[hatrack]

109. Boo-hoo

She chose to marry this pig. Fuck her.

[dalton99a]

110. Please send cards and flowers.

Poor billionaire's wife.

[HughBeaumont]

111. . . . . I just find it hilarious . . . .

. . . that these same Republicans that held Laura Bush as the exemplar of a traditional and loyal First Lady not only attacked Michelle Obama every chance they could, but strangely give Melania a free pass because reasons.

Whether she likes it or not, The First Lady is a role that has tradition and responsibility attached to it; historically, the First Women of this country (in both parties) have made great strides with children's and women's charities and educational programs. For Melania to just duck all of this and pout in a gilded penthouse because life with Sugar Daddy didn't turn out the way she planned just adds more disgrace and contempt to her husband's already-destructive vanity presidency.

[BumRushDaShow]

113. Ivana and Marla

are probably laughing their asses off.

[Grammy23]

119. Sucks to be you, huh, Melania? Nt

[kstewart33]

114. If Melania quietly faded into the background, no problem.

She very likely did not ask for this. If she opposed Trump running, it would not have mattered.

It's her life. She should live her life as she thinks best. Which seems to be centered on her son.

If so, bravo to her for trying to be a good mother.

[Retrograde]

115. A change of scenery might perk her up

Say, a move to Washington, DC: she could take in the sights, visit the various Smithsonian museums, maybe make some friends at the Slovenian embassy...and if she's still miserable she can at least be happy she's saving the taxpayers several million dollars a month.

[jeanmarc]

116. Her non-action is fucking up NYC

Barron CAN change schools. I did it about 4 times in my life. Delicate Barron CAN change schools.

She's fucking up NYC by making them provide ridiculous security for the two of them. She's fucking up local businesses. She's costing people millions of dollars PER DAY.

FUCK OFF MELANIA. Shit or get off the pot. Divorce him, or move to DC. This pouting act is almost as ridiculous as your awful husband.

No sympathy whatsoever.

[mnhtnbb]

117. Cry me a river...

[Miles Archer]

120. The "Us Magazine" cover:

[BigDemVoter]

123. Boo Hoo.

She should "love it or leave it"!

She can go back to where she came from as far as I'm concerned. She's as trashy as Pussy Grabber and the rest of his minions.

[edbermac]

124. I won't pick on her. It's wrong.

Would you do it to Michelle? They are off limits in my book.

And the kids also.
