Melania Trump is counting down the minutes until her divorce from Donald Trump after their 15-year “transactional marriage,” it is claimed.
Former assistant Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed the couple’s marriage was over, saying: “Melania is counting every minute until he leaves office and she can get divorced.
“If Melania tried to take the maximum humiliation and left while he was in office, he would find a way to punish her.” – Mirror UK reports.
Melania is said to have burst into tears when her husband triumphed in 2016, and a friend said, “She never expected him to win.”
He also waited five months before moving from New York to Washington, reportedly because the couple’s son, Barron, “needed to finish school.”
But former aide Stephanie Wolkoff has now claimed that Melania was negotiating a post-nuptial agreement to give Barron an equal share of Trump’s fortune, MailOnline reports.
Wolkoff also claims that Trump and Melania had separate bedrooms during their time in the White House and said their marriage was “transactional.”
In his marriage to second wife Marla Maples, Trump’s pre-wedding arrangement prevents her from publishing a book or giving critical interviews with him, and attorney Christina Previte says Melania likely agreed to something similar.
Melania has been accused of taking her husband’s hand away on several occasions during Trump’s public appearances as president.
More recently, during the final presidential debate between President-elect Joe Biden and Donald Trump, Melania appeared to snub her husband’s affections.
The president and the first lady left the stage side by side as Melania began to walk in front of her husband.
Then she seems to pull her hand away from his and strides forward.
Trump stays behind his wife and momentarily places his hand on her back before they both leave the stage.
Trump’s past marriages have also often been seen as turbulent, with a reputation tied to a past “playboy” image as well as rumors of affairs.
In 1977 he married Ivana Trump, which ended when he met model Mara Maples in the early nineties.
Ivana and Trump divorced in 1991 before Trump married Marla two years later.
They continued to announce their divorce in 1997 before he met Melania a year later and the couple married in January 2005.
The First Lady, her husband Donald, and their son Barron contracted Covid-19 when the virus swept through the White House.
But Melania made efforts to stop the spread of the virus, according to a Bloomberg report.
The outlet claims that Melania told her staff to work from home unless absolutely necessary and required them to wear face masks if they had to enter the east wing.
Bloomberg reports that Melania appeared “baffled” during multiple incidents when she came into contact with unmasked White House staff.
According to the outlet, Melania later decided to limit the number of attendees traveling with her aboard Air Force One.
On one trip, she was reportedly “perplexed” to see that none of the president’s aides wore masks.
On another flight, Melania reportedly asked if masks would be worn and was told yes.
But when he walked into a conference room to greet members of Congress, no one covered their faces.
“What’s wrong with these people?” he said later, according to a Bloomberg source.
