By Matt Underwood As I observe the ongoing saga of Trump’s rage against E. Jean Carroll, coupled with his apparent disregard for Melania on their wedding anniversary, I can’t help but feel a sense of detachment. Melania clearly wants nothing to do with him. It’s evident in the way she recoils in disgust at his touch, as if she can’t bear the thought of being in his presence. But here’s the thing – she knew exactly what she was getting into when she married him.
I have zero sympathy for Melania. She willingly chose to marry this man, fully aware of his character and behavior. Yet, she went ahead with it, perhaps for the sake of her own personal gain or ambition. And now, on their wedding anniversary, I can only imagine that the last thing she wants is to be reminded that she is married to that fat, obnoxious asshole.
It’s astonishing to me that Trump still has a loyal following of Republicans who view him as their chosen President, the leader appointed by God to shape America and the world. They claim to stand for family values, yet they vigorously support a man who openly disrespects and ignores his own wife. It’s a glaring hypocrisy that cannot be ignored.
But let’s not forget, Melania wasn’t forced to marry him. She made a conscious decision to enter into this union, and she managed to secure her “anchor baby” and secure her parents’ citizenship. She got what she wanted, so to speak. So, in a way, it’s hard for me to summon any real sympathy for her.
Trump’s rage and disregard for Melania only add fuel to the fire of his legal woes. With 20 years of marriage and a child between them, she could potentially walk away with half his estate in the event of a divorce. And I must admit, the thought of that brings me great satisfaction. It would be a fitting consequence for a man who has caused so much pain and division.
But perhaps Melania prefers the radio silence. After all, she seems to have mastered the art of maintaining her own internal polling, carefully calculating her moves and positioning herself for the most favorable outcome. Ignoring her on their wedding anniversary might just be the best gift Trump could have ever given her.
In the grand scheme of things, I find it hard to care about Trump’s personal life. What truly matters are the leaked documents and the allegations of treason. That’s where our attention should be focused – not on his tumultuous relationship with Melania or his raging against E. Jean Carroll.
At the end of the day, I believe Melania is no innocent victim. She made her bed, and now she must lie in it. She chose to marry a man who embodies everything that is repulsive and despicable. And while I understand that she may have her reasons for staying, I can’t help but see her as an accomplice to the degradation of our country.
In the midst of all the chaos and controversy surrounding this presidency, it’s easy to overlook the significance of Trump’s ignorance of Melania on their wedding anniversary. But in its own twisted way, it speaks volumes about the state of their relationship and the true nature of their union.
So, as I sit back and observe this continuous anger loop that Trump seems trapped in, I can’t help but feel a sense of satisfaction. Melania, too, must be doing her own internal polling, deciding if it’s worth it to continue down this path. But for now, let’s not forget the bigger picture – the impact this presidency has had on our democracy and the urgent need for change.
