I do believe it's a transactional marriage Donald got arm candy Melania got two Dynamic decades she met Donald she married she became an American citizen they had a son and 10 years after that she's the first lady of the United States in her 2020 book Melania and me woolcoff detailed her 15-year relationship with the former first lady as well as the years leading up to their eventual Fallout outside of their friendship however wolkoff also touched on how she believes melania's marriage to Donald birthed a new side to her a side she believes was always there wolkoff wrote In the book I witnessed the transformation of Melania from gold plate to 24 karat gold watching her now and seeing that only the gold shell remains I have to wonder if that's all she ever was and I was the sucker who bought the fake watch on the street corner they put up a happy couple front but Donald Trump and Melania Trump are anything but happy or so an Insider says in her 2018 book unhinged an Insider's account of the Trump White House Omarosa manigault Newman a former White House aide hinted at a looming divorce between the couple writing Melania is counting every minute until he is out of the office and she can divorce if Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he's in office he would find a way to punish her according to people manigault Newman alleged Melania who came into America as an immigrant felt indebted to Donald for helping her secure the Einstein or eb-1 VISA and is only holding off the divorce for fear of what he might do manigault Newman wrote in her book since Donald is fully aware of however she acquired her permanent citizenship he could if there were anything fishy around it expose the methods and somehow invalidate it he is a vindictive man and I would not put anything past him of the many rumors there are about Donald Trump's marriage to Melania Trump this is perhaps the most publicized in January 2018 The Wall Street Journal broke a story alleging that Donald's personal lawyer Michael Cohen paid adult film star Stormy Daniels a sum of one hundred and thirty thousand dollars to keep a 2006 Affair hidden Daniels would later confirm the affair during an appearance on cbs's 60 Minutes telling host Anderson Cooper she'd asked about his wife who had just welcomed the couple's son Baron at the time Daniels told Cooper I asked and he brushed it aside said oh yeah yeah you know don't worry about that we don't even we have separate rooms and stuff only a few months prior to this story The New Yorker published an expose accusing Donald of having an affair with Playboy model Karen McDougall McDougall later said during an interview with Anderson Cooper on CNN what can you say except I'm sorry I'm sorry Melania however couldn't be less bothered about the allegations against her husband flying in the media telling ABC News it is not concern and focus of mine I'm a mother and a first lady and I have much more important things to think about six months into their marriage Melania Trump became pregnant with Barron Trump her first and only child with Donald Trump but rather than good old fatherly excitement Donald seemingly had more concerns his wife's pregnancy look according to SFGate Trump said at the time you know they just blow up right like a blimp in the right places in her case the right places I mean she really has become a monster in all the right places in 2017 Vanity Fair reported that Donald agreed to have a child with Melania only if she was willing to maintain the body she always had according to the outlet while visiting the couple a guest witnessed an exchange between them leading to the conclusion that Donald only had one specific concern about his wife's pregnancy the guest said she promised him that everything would go back to the way it was and he was simply rude to her there was no how do you feel no opening of doors making sure she didn't fall just you wanted to have a baby I'd rate myself less than a great husband following Donald Trump's 2016 Victory sources confirmed that Melania Trump who at the time lived in Trump Tower in New York was in no rush to move into the White House she was supposedly waiting for her son Baron to finish the school year so when she eventually moved to Washington the former model seemingly sought out ways to
