The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

This is at least the third time Melania has renegotiated the terms of her marital agreement.

When viewed through Trump's thoroughly distorted, transactional lens of life, why would she be any different? She's just another creditor.

I, (insert name here), do agree to appear as the role of (insert role here) in the Trump Organization Faux Family LLC production of Domestic Tranquility. In this role, Contractee is required to attend at least five red carpet appearances per year (hand-holding optional), provide at least 20 seconds of video per appearance delivering "adoring spouse" look for use in campaign events, keep all children out of ear-shot of DJT, and handle all after-school carpools. In exchange for said services, DJT shall provide a yearly stipend of $250,000 for wardrobe, anti-depression medications, limo service to everywhere and a separate yearly $1,000,000 contribution to the Melania Be Best Trump Foundation to ensure continuity of this quality of life in the event of any force majeure, criminal conviction, civil judgement or bankruptcy of DJT or any of his shell corporations.

She is quite possibly Trump's most informed creditor... She cheated with him on wife #2, he's cheated on her at least two times for which there are receipts... She probably knows who he's defrauding financially right now. And she's fine with all of that. It was all baked into their "contract" from the time they first met. She's as transactional as he is.


WTH
