It been in the media. I looked it up.
But
For the very rich, it's not uncommon to have separate bedrooms.
Despite that
She seems really really loyal
They do have child together so that's very meaningful in a relationship
I think she is loving living a privileged life in Mar a Lago. Spa during the day , high end chef food at night. I'm sure she has more sophisticated tastes in food then Donald but then who doesn't:-)


Yes. It might have been the same report about the separate bedrooms that said Melania basically lives in the Maralago spa during the day.

Do you see the flaw in believing what other people write? Just because people have seperate bedrooms does not mean that they don't sleep together occasionally.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

Not in a multiple-sourced story put out by a reputable news outlet.

Admirable. Withholding judgment is nearly impossible for most of us when it comes to Trump. I’ll try to do the same. I don’t know if it’s possible to assemble an impartial jury for this case. Maybe bipartisan is the best you can do.


Thank you!

According to current Republican defenses you shouldn’t go after a a presidential candidate for up to two years before the election. If elected, a candidate would defer potential prosecution for another 4 years. Then when the deferment is is over that 6 years counts for time against a stature of limitations and one may not be able to be charged at all.

It’s bad enough one could escape a legitimate prosecution like that, but then to give credit for that deferment seems outrageous.

The whole “did the prosecutor overstep his authority” will be settled soon enough, or if the crime was too much reaching by Bragg. That will also be settled. I’m fine with that process.

This is related to one of Donny’s OTHER pending indictments:

Quote: Washington Post
“In the classified documents case, federal investigators have gathered new and significant evidence that after the subpoena was delivered, Trump looked through the contents of some of the boxes of documents in his home, apparently out of a desire to keep certain things in his possession, the people familiar with the investigation said."


I’m not a lawyer, but I don’t think that would be legally advisable.

Wouldn't that be something if Bragg became the Attorney General for Trump.

I mean, how else could a man escape all the charges being used against him, now and in the future?

Is Bragg a secret MAGA supporter?

What's even scarier to the DemDumb's is 25% of the money Trump
has raised since the indictment was announced comes from new
heretofore unknown donors. This is huge, this means Trump's base
is far bigger than they thought. Trump has the biggest advantage any
presidential candidate has had in over 100 years in that he was already
president and everybody knows exactly what to expect. He has
unprecedented name recognition, everybody over the age of 10 knows
who he is.
If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Many now, including some Dems are coming out against the Trump indictment.
Calling it political.
It looks like the D.A., Bragg, may have overstepped possibly due to anger from Trump calling him names.
Or possibly because he, himself, relishes his fame on the national stage.
Ironically, if he fails, he very likely will have helped Trump.
Trump may again become a National Hero to the misguided.

It's also very possible that the D.A. holds hidden cards.
Evidence against Trump that the public and the press is not aware of.

Time will tell, but right now Bragg is not looking good at all.
the foolish sayings of a rich man pass for words of wisdom by the fools around him
