    Every now and then I seem to develop some sort of sympathy for her. It’s painfully obvious she’s a trophy wife, and she didn’t sign up for any of this political bullshit. It’s equally obvious she’s just in it for what she thought was the money. She signed up to sit around, fuck an old man for a few years until he died, and life a posh life sleeping with the bodyguard or doorman to keep herself entertained until he did.

    His foray into politics, and I think, winning the Presidency is probably her worst case scenario. I take her “I don’t really care…” sweater at face value – she doesn’t care. She didn’t want it, she doesn’t care about it, and she kind of just wants to go back to being a pretty face whose name you can’t quite remember.

    Then I remember she not only enabled her husband, but actively supported him during his Presidency. Fuck that bitch. She made her choice, even if it’s for silly reasons.

      I fail to see how this merits sympathy, with or without the context that she married Trump. No one that has this mentality, be they male, female, or otherwise, deserves sympathy. Marrying someone for their money alone is a flat out shitty thing to do.

      Like, I’m all for acknowledging that women are often trapped in marriages with shitty husbands and get dragged along on their bullshit against their will, lest they lose their financial support.

      I get it. Even the seemingly powerful women are sometimes victims.

      But that doesn’t even begin to apply here. Especially not for her, because once you add the context back, you have to deal with the fact she married Trump and not some other wealthy fucker.

      You don’t stumble into a relationship with Donald Trump only to find out he’s kind of an asshole after the ring is on.

      She choose this man. She lost all sympathy the day she made that choice.

      Trump has not been a walking tumor for only the last 8 years.

      Really? My theory always was that she is the Russian handler assigned to make sure he doesn’t lie and renege on any of his promises to Putin the way that we all know Trump absolutely would if he didn’t have a handler.
