Snowden said he does expect Melania Trump to show face throughout the campaign and to make key speeches, but that he also thinks that the former president would “continue to be very protective of her.”

Ya, that's what it is!

Guys guys,... Like, trump has at most a few years ahead of him, she could be free and a very rich woman soon. She doesn't want to start that with too much baggage.

[-] ThePantser@lemmy.world 30 points 1 month ago

Rich? Is she making any money on her own because old Donny boy is broke and she will inherit his debt. Also he hates women so he probably already wrote her out of the will.

[-] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago

After Donnie dies she'll do a 'grieving widow' tour to raise money for the Donald Trump Library, then make a book deal and spend another five years going on TV and telling how she always hated him.

Donald Trump is worth about 3 - 5 Billion dollars, mostly tied to the ownership of 120 million shares of his social media company, which fully vests in about 60 days, when he can then start selling it. There is no universe that this Russian installed cunt is allowing that monster to breed with her, without having first been given a binding contract that gives her the rights to his estate. And that's the fact Jack. Trump is not broke, he's gotten insanely wealthy in just the past 2 years alone.

It’s all a grift but a very profitable one. He got loyalists to invest in DJT stock which means it has not cratered based upon fundamentals. They will be left holding the bag when he sells and will blame the loss on Obama for some unknown reason.

they're not holding the bag, they're gleefully grabbing for it knowing it's empty in the first place

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

well, his rich ~~donors~~ leashholders know it's empty. It's just a way to funnel him money.

His "base" that buy anything he sells... they're gonna be the bag holders. For the people sending the bribes, it's not a loss, just business as usual.

The same guy who was struggling to pay off the latest slander judgement?

Hope he can sell before it dead-cat-bounces.

[-] downpunxx@fedia.io 0 points 1 month ago

there's no "dead cat bounce" because the stock price is being artificially inflated by those who simply wish to make donald trump rich, expecting no return whatsoever, $djt isn't so much a stock as it's a publicly traded donald trump gofundme, and the man is about to get paid

A spouse does not inherit debt that they didn't sign off on. And I seriously doubt Melania's name is on anything at all, except a fat prenup.

[-] Birdie@thelemmy.club 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

The debt is taken from the inheritance/estate, right?

[-] dogsnest@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Depends. (What debts are insured. Not Trump's undergarments.)

Those prenup NDA’s are also a bitch
