Don Jr. getting divorced

That was my thought, too. I wouldn’t be surprised at a sudden reconciliation “for the kids” after whatever’s coming goes down.

Ding ding ding

For the record, “ding ding ding” is usually used to signify someone has the right answer, not that some rando agrees with you.

I doubt this is the result of some specific series of revelations in the Mueller investigation. It’s probably just 12 years of being married inside a sleazy family and the weight of the publicity that they’ve taken on since being in the media constantly. Mueller’s investigation could be a factor indirectly, though - at least in terms of the stress that it has brought into their marriage and knowing that Donald Jr is potentially the subject of criminal investigations (plural).

As MoodIndigo1 suggested, I think the mother of 5 might have taken the white powder envelope incident pretty seriously.

As others have pointed out, when Trump has reacted gleefully to other people’s divorces, it does take some of the sympathy away from his own.

Vanessa’s hired a criminal defense attorney to handle her divorce:

Page Six, but David Feureisen is a known entity. I guess we’ll just draw our own conclusions.

I agree. There’s also the possibility that she’s not thrilled with Don Jr’s growing identification with the alt-right/white-supremacist “movement”:

Even if GOP enablers succeed in protecting Donald Trump and his family from facing any consequences of their actions (that is, succeed in quashing the Mueller probe), life with Don Jr.-as-neo-Nazi-leader might not be to Vanessa’s liking. One factor could be that she apparently has some Jewish heritage in her background. It’s possible that Don Jr. feels he’d make a better companion to Richard Spencer et al if he had a ‘purer’ wife. (That’s just speculation; I don’t have a citation to offer on that topic.)

I strongly doubt that is the case with these people, they’re just greedy bastards who are gaming the system as much as possible to fill their own pockets, they are by no means ideological anti-Semites even if they’re willing to pander to bigots until their dying day. I see Jewish names all over the place in the rogue’s gallery of corruption that is the Trump inner circle - not to in any way imply that Jews are collectively corrupt - they’re just overrepresented in high places, as are Christian Scientists and certain denominations of Protestantism. Guess what else is overrepresented in high places? Corruption. It has nothing to do with the religion or the ethnicity, insomuch as a thing even exists, itself. Jews are also overrepresented among the ranks of the world’s best and most beneficial human beings.

She’s probably had all she can take of the chinless Fucking Moron Jr.

It might just be exactly as it appears, but…

  1. This was announced the day after we found out that Mueller is investigating Trump’s businesses

  2. She hired a lawyer who normally does criminal law

  3. They’re trying for a no-fault divorce
    From the outside, at least, it sure looks like they’re trying to squirrel away some money before the FedHammer comes down.

This tiny event, more than anything, makes the whole shitshow feel like a Sopranos knock-off.

Mueller famously went after wives in the Enron investigation.

Goodness, so many wild theories! If Jr. is like his dad, this is a simple case of him believing marriage is between one man, one woman, two ex-wives, a string of hookers and silenced porn stars, and at least 19 alleged sexual assault victims. He’s just working through the process!

says here he was cheating back in 2011 with a singer who was on the Apprentice

Holy shit… are you telling us that there is a possibility that The Apprentice may not have been fully on the up-and-up? :wink:
