“Would he be with me if I wasn’t beautiful?”

She’s never happier than when she’s with a handsome younger man.

This doesn’t mean much, in the grand scheme of things. Or it doesn’t have to mean much. But when your husband is old enough to be your father and notoriously unfaithful (even famously during your pregnancy), you might be excused a little extramarital dalliance every now and then…

There are a LOT of pictures and videos of Melania looking mighty pleased whenever she is with a younger man, especially a younger man in uniform. Someone closer to her own age or even a lot younger than herself. Someone in shape, someone fit.

Meanwhile almost every single picture where she is with her husband, she looks grossed out, uncomfortable, stone-faced or cold. Every time he smooches her, kisses her or holds her waist, she looks as if she’s counting to ten and hoping he disengages physically as soon as possible…

Theirs is a financial transactions. A marriage of convenience between an elderly man who wants to show the world he “still got it” and a woman who knows herself to be beautiful and desirable, and who also knows she is where she is because of her physical attributes and nothing else.

Her biographer asked her once: “Would you be with your husband if he wasn’t rich?” To which Melania answered: “Would he be with me if I wasn’t beautiful?” That about sums it up. They both give each other something the other needs. And quite likely, they get their additional needs met elsewhere. Body language certainly seems to suggest so.
