Coming Up Trumps Melania Plots Her Escape

The humiliated First Lady will leave on her own terms.

 Since the beginning of Donald Trump’s journey to the White House, there’s been one woman firmly digging in her nude Manolo Blahnik heels, resisting the public life that comes with politics – his wife Melania.

The fiercely private former model has decidedly not embraced the role of devoted First Lady, refusing to hold hands with her touchy-feely husband at official events and even greeting him publicly with a handshake rather than an affectionate kiss.

There are also rumours that Melania – who hasn’t been seen in public for three weeks following a mysterious kidney operation – is yet to properly move into the White House 16 months after her husband’s inauguration.

All of these things have done nothing to deflect the spotlight cast on a marriage that has been tarnished with tales of infidelities – most recently reports that Donald paid porn star Stormy Daniels $190,000 in hush money to deny an affair they had in 2006.

Now Woman’s Day has learnt that the First Lady has finally had enough, with a White House insider revealing, “Melania has told friends she’s ready to pull the plug on her marriage. She has met with lawyers who are gunning for a multimillion-dollar pay-off, an apartment in Manhattan and millions in child support for their son Barron.”
