Donald Trump is facing uncertain odds, so it makes sense if he’s not bursting with joy. Donald’s wife, Melania Trump, even failed to accompany him to his first day of court (or any days thereafter). According to Melania’s former East Wing aide, Stephanie Grisham, the former first lady is having a hard time navigating her husband’s legal problems and the optics of his alleged affair. “I can imagine that she will push him to go on the stand and defend himself,” Grisham told CNN. “Because this is very, very embarrassing for her, it’s humiliating for her. And I can guarantee you she’s not happy right now and he’s quite worried about that.”
The one-term president is also fighting off various criminal and civil cases as he attempts to score a second term in the White House, the timing of which he’s repeatedly bemoaned on Truth Social. With that said, Donald has at least one major thing to smile about. His media company, Trump Media, that owns the right-leaning social media site Truth Social, which he regularly uses to complain about his legal woes and the upcoming presidential election, is gearing up to pay him an “earnout” bonus comprised of 36 million shares, which are worth a cool $1.25 billion, according to NBC News.
Trump is currently appealing a $454 million judgment attached to a different civil suit, so that money may soon come in handy.
