Donald Trump, the nominee of the party of family values, lives in his palatial estate Mar-a-Lago, that’s adjacent to one of his golf clubs. His trophy wife, Melania, lives in New York, so she can be close to the love of her life, her son Barron, who attends New York University.
Melania has been MIA from the Trump campaign, she’s yet to make a single campaign appearance with her husband. She assiduously avoids making any public appearances with her spouse, even failing to provide moral support by attending any of his court trials.
The spouses of political candidates stand by their partners, nod in agreement while they deliver their campaign speeches and sometimes make short remarks that are in perfect alignment with them.
Melania shocked the MAGA supporters of her husband by declaring herself pro-choice.
In an excerpt of her new self-titled memoir, she (or rather her ghostwriter) wrote:
“Restricting a woman’s right to choose whether to terminate an unwanted pregnancy is the same as denying her control over her own body. I have carried this belief with me throughout my entire adult life.”
This pro-choice stance clashes violently with the views of her husband’s white evangelical supporters. Trump pandered to his evangelical followers by appointing vehemently anti-abortion judges to the Supreme Court.
Likely Trump shares the pro-choice position of his wife, but he pretends to be anti-abortion out of political expediency. But he must be furious at his wife for expressing her views on abortion just a month before the election. Who would have thunk that Melania was responsible for the October surprise that derailed his campaign.
Melania must really hate the orange buffoon as much as I do.
