Trump, first lady will be 1,000 miles apart when Stormy Daniels appears on 60 Minutes

Source: Washington Post

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — When porn star Stormy Daniels appears Sunday night on “60 Minutes,” this much is clear: The segment won’t be family viewing in the White House.

President Trump, who has been spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Fla., is scheduled to return to the White House ahead of the highly anticipated interview. But first lady Melania Trump, who traveled to Florida with the president on Friday, is staying behind.

“The First Lady will be staying in Florida as is their tradition for spring break,” White House spokeswoman Lindsay Walters said in a late Sunday morning statement.

However, I would have negotiated only having to spend Spring Break with him, and the rest of the year having freedom.

then the spring break tradition is that the Trump crime family would spend it in Aspen, Melania and Barron would flee to Mar-a-Lago.

but you just know he won't be able to resist. Even if he is in transit, he can watch a recorded version. The madness that will follow will be epic.

wandering around the White House, trying to find someone to lash out at, but everyone will be hiding from him.

her to watch, out of professional courtesy. After all, didn't SHE do the same thing as Stormy while HE was married to Maples? Her line of work was just slightly different, although not too much.

so yes it's been over 10 years now. He was her mechanism to get her visa to remain in US, as well her steady paycheck and way to maintain a lavish lifestyle. Her keeping her mouth shut while being his arm candy is her job. So why divorce him unless he's carted off to prison?

i know alot of women who put up with sleazy guys with money. She knew what she was getting into when she married the sleazebag and she's put up with him all these years. She wanted the fame and fortune, and the only thing that would drive her to divorce him is if he ends up in jail.

City girls just seem to find out early
How to open doors with just a smile
A rich old man
And she won't have to worry
She'll dress up all in lace and go in style

Late at night a big old house gets lonely
I guess every form of refuge has its price
And it breaks her heart to think her love is only
Given to a man with hands as cold as ice

So she tells him she must go out for the evening
To comfort an old friend who's feelin' down
But he knows where she's goin' as she's leavin'
She is headed for the cheatin' side of town...


The only part that probably doesn't apply to Trump is "He knows where she's going as she's leaving," since he could not fathom someone wanting to cheat on him or even contemplate other people's point of view unless they are standing right in front of him and doesn't have their attention yet.

so I got to see reminders of that song daily.

It is barely a joke to say that when Hollywood execs wives turn 40, they dump them and go cruise for new ones at the nearest high school.

True story:

I knew a guy who met a Romanian girl online, she came over, they got married, but then she started acting weird and distant.

One day when she was away, he got into her email, had someone who spoke Romanian translate, and it was all emails to her Romanian boyfriend saying how creepy it was to be married to the guy, and she didn't know if she could keep the scam up long enough.

He didn't know what to do, but he didn't have to: a few days later, he got arrested for domestic violence and ended up in jail, she filed for divorce, but got to keep the green card.

Although I'll bet half a peach there's a prenup there.
Still, given the fact that sharks are swimming away from the SS Drumpf, there might be one or two who'd be willing to challenge that agreement. Perhaps successfully.
