Not to mention, keeping it her best interests to not be called as a witness against Trump, and to preserve whatever assets have been promised her and Barron from any upcoming reckoning.

My belief is Melania has already salted away a substantial amount of moolah so she’s set for life no matter what happens to Diaper Don. She does, after all, know what a cheapskate deadbeat he is.

And more than twice as old as Matt Gaetz’s tastes.

I think what we have on display is a cornered rat in DJT, unable to escape the fate that is becoming more obvious, even to him, by the day. He knows he’s going down just as much as he knows that he lost in 2020. But his ego doesn’t allow him to admit bad news so he puts on this pitiful charade. The tantrums will get worse as the noose tightens and the walls close in.

There’s set and then there is SET. I imagine she’s living higher on the hog now than she would after a separation, forced or not. He’s not going to live forever and she’s 24 years younger - she might feel it is worth riding out the relationship.

Or maybe she genuinely adores him and his charming little ways 😉.

Actually, Melania was 35 when they married, although they had been dating for seven years at that point.

Correct. That means she’s still 35, right?

True dat. But no doubt she’s got plenty of expensive jewelry she can sell if necessary besides whatever money, stocks, etc. she has stashed in Switzerland or wherever that’s out of reach of him or his creditors. So she’ll do well enough after his house of cards finally collapses, even if she doesn’t inherit anything from his hopefully bankrupt estate.

i wonder if he realizes that, and if it grates on him.

True. But the pushing-60 Trump probably realized he couldn’t get away with marrying a 16-year-old. Public opinion was crucial to him even back then.

I can’t find it now because I foolishly closed the tab. I’m referring to a post I saw very early this morning in which someone said that the only thing that would cause Tan the Conman’s voters to stop supporting him is if Jesus Christ were to return and tell him not to.

Well, that’s not what would happen if Jesus were to say that. The magaflatearthers would either say He’s a fake planted by the Libs trying to trick them, or they’d finally abandon any pretense to being Christian.

And that’s gotten me pissed off that son of a bitch has gotten our country to the point where that’s even something imaginable.

If I was Tester I’d challenge him to a strip-off so people could do a side-by-side comparison of the two in their skivvies.

Are you kidding? They’d simply claim to be the real Christians, just like they claim to be real patriots already.

That last, I believe, goes along with them claiming The Big Guy is a Lib Deepfake.

There is no way that Trump actually read _Clear and Present Danger_ (I’m pretty sure Trump has very poor literacy and can barely read at all) but it seems someone has summarized the plot for him and he thought it was a great idea:

> **[Trump Is Planning to Send Kill Teams to Mexico to Take Out Cartel Leaders](https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-planning-send-kill-teams-155423224.html)**
>
> Trump has told allies about his plans to covertly send Special Forces to Mexico to assassinate drug kingpins, sources say.

(I know CaPD was set in Colombia rather than Mexico but I would not be surprised if Trump doesn’t know the difference.)

Edit: Also worth noting that CaPD ends with the drug cartels as strong as ever while the US administration that thought this was a good idea ends up getting run out of office.

Remember this?

[Did Donald Trump Actually Confuse _Sicario 2_ with Reality?](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2019/01/donald-trump-sicario)

"On Friday, **Donald Trump** [tweeted the headline](https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1086252588088082432) to a recent _Washington Examiner_ story, which read: “Border rancher: ‘We’ve found prayer rugs out here. It’s unreal.’” As the headline suggests, the story is about a New Mexico rancher who claims to have seen prayer rugs—typically used by observers of Islam—near the U.S.-Mexico border. After the headline, Trump added this: “People coming across the Southern Border from many countries, some of which would be a big surprise.”

His decision to amplify the _Examiner_ piece has since come under scrutiny. Why? Because the prayer-rug story sounds an awful lot like something that happens in _Sicario: Day of the Soldado,_ as [several people have](https://twitter.com/ikebarinholtz/status/1086285588905451521) [pointed out](https://twitter.com/danpfeiffer/status/1086285789237895169) [on Twitter](https://twitter.com/mattyglesias/status/1086267663825993729)."
