I question whether this abusive dialogue is her dialogue. Maybe she is a demon in disguise, but, I never got that impression about her. I think the closer for me was the Easter Egg Hunt last year when Trump was standing there like a dummy as the national anthem played. Melania actually had to poke Donny in the side to remind him this is the time to put your hand over your heart. Interestingly, she still assumes he still has one. A heart, that is.
But, was she simply spoofing the press to make example of them? That doesn't seem like her style. She has been a media icon long before Trump was married to her. I think she is emotionally abused at the very least by Trump. It seems fairly obvious. Her retaliation is that she will do exactly what the marriage contract demands and no more. She obviously is a dedicated mother to Baron.
I like her. She is dignified even when she has to wear a jacket designed by Trump.
I look at it this way; she was emotionally abused immediately when she became pregnant with Barron. Trump was having an affair with a Playboy model and then took a dip in the pool of women at a golf outing and had a tryst with Ms. Clifford. Realizing that reality and her love of her son, how does anyone actually judge her? I like her and I strongly believe she was and is emotionally abused by Trump. He likes to hurt her. The day she took one of her staffers in the Rose Garden it was obvious he was enjoying the statement to the world that he oppresses his wife and doesn't care.
He even laughed about not getting her a gift for her birthday to the curvy couch. That was never President Obama. He and Michelle were seen on anniversaries, very romantically involved. He once stated in an interview with her, he bought her expensive gifts like the necklace she was wearing that day at the interview. None of that is visible with Trump. There is something very wrong. He is a man that likes to maintain 'the aires' of being detached from a permanent relationship. He is in his eighth decade of life. Hello? Hamburgers abound.
