She was disgusted by his disgusting remarks
Melania’s often tried to defend her hubby’s comments, even the jaw-droppers that begin with “grab them by the…” Sure, she put out a statement saying his words were “unacceptable and offensive,” but this isn’t the first time he’s left jaws on the floor with his talk. Remember when he told Howard Stern that Melania ballooned up “like a blimp — in the right places” when she was pregnant, even calling her a “monster”? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg from his “locker room” chats with Stern, thanks to leaked recordings.
Trump’s inauguration painted a bleak picture of his marriage
So many strange moments from that day, where do we even begin? Like when Melania shot her husband a sweet glance, only for it to turn into a look of pure disdain when he wasn’t looking. And what about their awkward dance at the inaugural ball? She practically leaned away from him! Then, when they popped by the White House to greet the Obamas, Trump hopped out of the car in a flash, leaving poor Melania to make her own way up the stairs. Ouch!
A super pricey long-distance marriage, all on the taxpayers’ dime
Who could forget when Melania put her foot down and stayed put in NYC instead of moving into the White House for months? It wasn’t until the summer of 2017 that she finally made the move. But in the meantime, New Yorkers were shelling out big bucks—up to $146,000 a day—to keep the First Lady and her son safe while they were apart.
Trump is a hands-off parent
Melania does most of the parenting for Barron. She’s said Trump never changed diapers! But before Barron was born, Trump said on Larry King Live, “Now, I know Melania. I’m not going to be doing the diapers. I’m not going to be making the food. I may never even see the kids. She will be an unbelievable mother. I’ll be a good father.”
