August was a month-long Indictmas celebration, capped off by the new high holy days, Mugshot Day and RICO Charges Day. Donald Trump is scrambling, bigly sad and facing millions of dollars in legal fees to fend off 91 felony charges across four indictments. His wife, his daughters and his sons have all avoided his arrests, bookings and court appearances. Melania is still hiding out at Mar-a-Lago, getting spa treatments and doing f–k all. Well, People Magazine had an interesting piece about Melania’s mindset these days, given the prospect that her husband is probably going to be in prison a year from now:
Mel is taking Donald’s indictments in her stride: “Melania knows who her husband is, and while she deplores the indictments as much as her husband, she wouldn’t be surprised by his mug shot or make comments about it,” a Trump family source tells PEOPLE.
Melania is not easily upset or surprised by anything her husband does. “Melania is busy with her son and family and she pays only so much attention to these issues which captivate the media,” a social source tells PEOPLE. “Of course these criminal charges are embarrassing to Melania and to Donald, but life goes on and each reacts to stress in different ways.”
Melania is focused on Barron: “Remember Melania is a mom with a not-yet-adult son to protect,” one source says. “A mug shot that everyone is talking about is just one more issue to wade through.”
Melania knows her husband: That the mug shot has been publicly released, the source adds, “does not upset her any more than anything else that has happened with Donald and his legal cases… She also knows he loves to be the center of attention whether the subject is good or bad. He has been this way since the day she met him,” the source adds.
She’s focused on her own life: “Melania is good at taking care of business at hand which includes her own life, the life of her son, and the lives of her close family members,” the source says. “She would not stand in a circle of people she knows and openly comment on the lawsuits or the mug shot. She will have her way of dealing with this and anything else publicly when she feels like it.”
Make no mistake, Melania is true-blue MAGA though: Despite Melania’s silence, the source believes she shares her husband’s view — and anger — that most of these legal issues are “election interference by his political rivals.” “Melania hates all of the legal problems but understands how her husband uses adversity to his advantage,” the source says. “She knows the mug shot is sending both a f— you message to his enemies as well as a kiss to his flock.”
People Mag also confirms that Melania is not going to do sh-t with Trump’s campaign this time around. She barely did anything during the previous two campaigns, and she spent all of January 6, 2021 doing a White House photoshoot. Melania is not really engaged with what’s happening in the world. It’s a peculiar kind of self-absorption, given what her husband is up to and what’s at stake. I mean, maybe Melania genuinely hopes he goes to prison, then she can raise Barron in peace and go shopping and not have to watch that man eat dinner.

LOL, People is trying too hard its embarrassing. Melania Trump has nothing going for her except that Trumpturd. Trump is the only reason Melania is so, she has absolutely no moral ground to feel any embarrassment.
Hopefully Barron is at college when her Find Out portion begins. I also wonder about the news that Mar a Lego was sold to trump jr at the beginning of the month. As in, hopefully she’s got some kind of housing in her name only somewhere, because if/when asset seizures start, MAL will be at the top of the list.
I suspect MAL was transferred to shell companies under Don Jr’s purview just so that it can’t be seized. Trump has been through so many bankruptcies he’s probably pro status at shielding assets. In any case I’m sure Melania secured enough for her no matter what her husband’s future holds.
Too bad, It would be a hoot if they lost everything and the family had to retreat to a cheap motel, Schitt’s Creek style.
“…and while she deplores the indictments as much as her husband…” They must know what they just wrote there, right? That she deplores her husband?
Anyway, Melania is scum. And I do believe she hopes her husband goes to prison so she can carry on with that security guard at Tiffany’s in peace. And also, spend, spend, spend! And maybe make out with Putin.
@thatsnotokay 😂👏
Where have I heard the word “deplore” (as in “deplorable”) before? Geez, this chick steals every single thought in her tiny head.
Melania deplores…
Add the word “bail” to “deplores” and mix the letters up slightly and you get…
Melania is deplorable.
I guess it’s finally safe to admit it: they’re all deplorable. HRC was so far ahead of her time.
Melania being truly annoyed discovering that her husband being sent to prison won’t void her prenup.
I really don’t care what this POS thinks or feels. She is a deplorable as her husband.
Yeah bish, in for a penny, in for a pound. You think you can just stand over there away from stuff and not get splashed with mud? I get she’s trying to protect her son and probably her parents too and I’m sure that Trump would yank her funding if she doesn’t look like she’s part of the team. But don’t try and act like you are above it all, you knew what your lunatic husband was up to, and you were all in until he got busted.
Fun will start if don actually goes to jail. Those kids hate her…..and they will hold the control.
As for Barron….kids won’t hold back him either. They don’t really know him (he’s always w/mama) and even the big guy is indifferent. Nope, Tiff and Barron going to be on the outside….and that may be a good thing for them.
Just bc Melania deplores her husband does not make her a redeemable person. A trash person hates a dumpster? That’s why they’re made for each other.
The only reason she is still with that dude is because she aged out the game to get a idiot with actual money.
Let’s just see it for what it is.
I’m kind of surprised at how much anti-Melania stuff I’ve seen on Twitter (I’m a never-Xer) just in the past few days.
I assume it’s an organized distraction campaign to try to focus hate on a woman instead of the appropriate target because…
…she’s just not in this? She hasn’t been visible in any way since Cheatolini got his mugshot and she’s not involved at all.
She is scum.
I wonder if some court couldn’t charge her for that red Christmas tree horror? That damaged EVERYONE!
