Melania Trump ‘counting minutes until divorce’ after 15-year ‘transactional marriage’
Ex-aide Omarosa Manigault Newman claimed the couple’s marriage was over, saying: “Melania is counting every minute until he is out of office and she can divorce.
“If Melania were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he’s in office, he would find a way to punish her.”
Melania is said to have burst into tears when her husband triumphed in 2016, with one friend saying: “She never expected him to win”.
She also waited five months before moving from New York to Washington, allegedly because the couple’s son Barron “needed to finish school”.
But former aide Stephanie Wolkoff has now claimed Melania was negotiating a post-nuptial agreement to give Barron an equal share of Trump’s fortune, reports the MailOnline.
Wolkoff also claims 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-nup agreement prevents her from publishing any book or giving interviews critical of him – with lawyer Christina Previte saying it’s likely Melania had agreed to something similar.
Melania has been accused of pulling her hand from her husband on a number of occasions during Trump’s public appearances as president.
Most 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 First Lady were leaving the stage alongside one another as Melania began to walk ahead of her husband.
She then appears to pull her hand away from his and strides forward.
Trump falls behind his wife and momentarily places his hand on her back before both walk off the stage.
