43. Ugh, that would explain a LOT.

TBH, I'm sure he threatened Melania with deportation if she leaves him or makes a scene in public. No, I don't care what happens to the Slovenian strumpet at all but threats are his sociopathic MO, especially when you have the apparatus to do so.


I'll bet you're right about this. It would be perfectly in character for him, and it would explain SO many things, including why she stays married to a man she obviously loaths. He's probably threatened to deport her and her parents (Melania's mother is deceased now, but her 82 year old father is still alive and living in the US), while making sure Barron stays here, even as he tries to revoke the constitutional guarantee of birthright citizenship for others. NONE of that would surprise me.There is no more effective way to control someone than to threaten the well-being those they care about. Threatening to forcibly separate a mother from her child would be unspeakably cruel (and whatever anyone may say about her, I'm convinced that she is genuinely devoted to her son), but Trump would be just the guy to do something like that.

I am deeply sorry to hear about what you're going through right now, and I don't think you're one bit overly protective. We all know what ICE is capable of doing. I hope you and your wife both stay safe until this nightmare is over.
