If the Trumps file joint tax returns, she can release them to the media.
Melania (and Ivanka) might at least show up for some State Dinners; the Obamas hosted 13 and they're great advertising opportunities for the fashion industry.

I've seen "all" the photos that are out there these days. But just look (sorry obvious) at how he holds her and she allows him to and has been programmed to. Creep-O-Rama. I used to hold my girlfriends that I once had around town and shit by the neck -- as a joke. I just noticed possessive assholes doing it every once in awhile. You don't no learn that kind of obedience on your own as a child. She was intimidated in some form into doing that which she did not want to do by a psychotic. Now it is second nature. I hope she writes a book some day. I feel for little Barron but if your name has trump anywhere in it, I really do not care. They are those who started this shit.
Trump is a sick man and needs to be removed. Well, you already knew that. C'mon reasonable republicans, move to impeach. Won't happen.
Trump on torture: It 'absolutely' works
Bradley Klapper, Desmond Butler, and Deb Riechmann, Associated Press
Jan. 25, 2017, 4:00 PM
President Donald Trump declared Wednesday he believes torture works as his administration readied a sweeping review of how America conducts the war on terror. It includes possible resumption of banned interrogation methods and reopening CIA-run "black site" prisons outside the United States.
In an interview with ABC News, Trump said he would wage war against Islamic State militants with the singular goal of keeping the U.S. safe. Asked specifically about the simulated drowning technique known as waterboarding, Trump cited the extremist group's atrocities against Christians and others and said: "We have to fight fire with fire."
Trump said he would consult with new Defense Secretary James Mattis and CIA Director Mike Pompeo before authorizing any new policy. But he said he had asked top intelligence officials in the past day: "Does torture work?"
"And the answer was yes, absolutely," Trump said.
He added that he wants to do "everything within the bounds of what you're allowed to do legally."

Want to Fix Wage Inequality? Start With the First Lady
Sarina Finkelstein
Apr 12, 2016
There is a position opening up in the next year. I won’t tell you the employer, but let me assure you, it’s a big one. The biggest.
Here’s an advance peek at the listing:
After reviewing a description of all the tasks a first lady performs, Salary.com came back with a list of 12 jobs that each represented an aspect of the role, including nonprofit program executive, communications executive, event director, secretary to the CEO, and interior designer.
Poll: Should the First Lady Be Paid?
They assigned a percentage weight to each role, according to its relative importance, and multiplied that by the median salary for each position, to arrive at a “hybrid job compensation estimate” for the first lady of $173,500. (The total salary estimate would have been more than $200,000, but the roles of day care center teacher, licensed professional counselor, and facilities manager brought down the overall average.)
Challenger, Gray and Christmas took a slightly different approach. Rather than trying to create a composite, they came up with a list of four functions that in their totality seemed closest to the job of first lady. "We used event planning, legal compliance, project managing, and people managing in the duties section,” explains the firm's James Pedderson. “We thought COO was the best job category to describe what the first lady does."
Then, using salary data from Payscale.com, Salary.com, and Indeed.com, they researched positions in Washington, D.C., including SVP of communications and strategic planning, head of program management, and VP of Global Affairs, to come up with a salary estimate of $287,000 for a “first lady COO.”
"The pay for the president in our society, even though it seems huge, is not proportional to the importance of the role,” notes CEO John Challenger. “There are presidents of educational institutions and CEOs that make more than that.” COOs often make three-quarters of what a CEO makes, he says, “so our research of $287,000 for a first lady COO seems in line with that. It has to fit into the particular company’s salary structure.”

“I posted an article on August 2, 2016 about Melania Trump that was replete with false and defamatory statements about her,” Tarpley’s statement says.
“I had no legitimate factual basis to make these false statements and I fully retract them. I acknowledge that these false statements were very harmful and hurtful to Mrs. Trump and her family, and therefore I sincerely apologize to Mrs. Trump, her son, her husband and her parents for making these false statements.”
