Bad news Melania: Your loving husband Donald had a mistress one year into your marriage.

http://theslot.jezebel.com/the-wall-street-journal-reports-donald-trump-cheated-on-1788606161

The Journal, citing documents and “people familiar with the matter,” reports that in August, the tabloid paid $150,000 to Karen McDougal, the 1998 Playmate of the Year who said she enjoyed a consensual relationship with Trump in 2006—a year after his wedding to his third and current wife, Melania.

Seriously, Melania. What would it take for you to leave him?

If he had a long-time affair on the side, just one year after marrying you, would you stay with him?

If he sexually assaulted and hit on another woman, while you were pregnant with Dondald's child and just one room over, would you stay with him?

If he bragged how he can sexually assault women and get away with it because he's so famous, would you stay with him?

If your husband was so consumed by hatred and revenge that he gets up at 3AM to write a tweet how much he hates somebody, would you stay with him?

If your husband uses you as a campaign-prop and then lets you down with a badly written speech, TWICE, that makes you a national laughingstock, TWICE, would you stay with him?

US citizenship, wealth, etc. Almost no chance that Melania didn't know what he was like before they got married.

But I do see a divorce in the fairly near future.

Once he is broke, she wont see the need to stay. He probably made her sign a prenup though.

.. by the same rules as everyone else. Who is to say that Melania is faithful? Wouldn't bet a dollar on it.

Would t be surprised if she is a prisoner in her own life. But lives her son and doesn't want trump to make the child an outcast, in retribution for his mother.

The Playboy model "enjoyed" her affair with HIM? Dear God, what some women will not do for money. Maleria is stuck, too old to go back to escorting. tRump is notorious for not paying people, so she will not get much in the divorce. What will her parents do, they live in tRump Tower, too?

I'm not a big fan of digging up personal dirt on politicians and their families, it's a distraction from the real issues. I honestly don't care why she stays with him, that's her deal and none of my business.

I'd rather focus on how spectacularly unqualified this Orange Jerk has proven to be. He's the candidate, not her. Let's get back to issues.
