Melania Trump never showed up in court to hear the sordid details about her husband’s alleged affair with Stormy Daniels, but it really bugs Donald Trump that she can just read all about the misdeeds that made him a convicted felon. As he informed Dr. Phil McGraw, “It’s not easy for her to read this kind of stuff that’s fake,” (via X). The former president acknowledged that it also bothers him when he has to share headline space with his wife, confessing, “It affects me more than it would if it were just about me. I wish it could be just about me.” It’s worth noting that Melania had plenty of time to stay up-to-date on her husband’s trial as it unfolded.
According to the New York Post, she and Barron Trump remained secluded in Trump Tower for almost two weeks during the highly-publicized proceedings, so at least she was in the same city as her husband. If Melania closely followed the trial, there were a number of things she likely saw or read that would upset Donald. According to AP News, he appeared visibly upset when Stormy Daniels claimed that he told her that he and Melania didn’t share a bedroom. She also shared some advice that Donald definitely wouldn’t appreciate, stating, “I don’t know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him,” (via The Mirror).
