Melania Trump has stayed out of the public eye since Donald Trump‘s 34-count conviction was handed down. It’s understandable why she would want to avoid the limelight, but she’s also getting unsolicited marriage advice from a surprising source — and we doubt she will listen.
Stormy Daniels, who alleged she had an affair with Melania’s husband in 2006, is weighing in on the couple’s marriage after the verdict was read. “I don’t know what their agreement may or may not be, but Melania needs to leave him. Not because of what he did with me or other women but because he is a convicted felon,” she told The Mirror. The former president, who still maintains his innocence, was found guilty of falsifying business records to hide his $130,000 hush money payment. It was Donald Trump’s then-lawyer Michael Cohen, who paid the funds ahead of the 2016 presidential election to buy her silence.
While Daniels is likely the last person Melania wants to hear from, the adult sex worker had more to say. “It’s been proven he is abusive; he was found liable for sexual assault and tax fraud and is now a criminal. He’s neither Teflon Don nor Teflon Con anymore,” she added. Daniels was referencing Donald Trump’s $83.3 million judgment to E. Jean Carroll, the former Elle writer who sued him for defamation after her 1990s sexual assault claims. He also owes $464 million to New York after his Trump Organization business fraud case — the amount of debt he’s in is astonishing.
Those financial and legal issues won’t deter Melania, though. Her former BFF, senior adviser, and author of Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, shared insight with The Washington Postlast year and revealed that “no amount of scrutiny, no amount of cheating, lying, stealing, you name it, will change” the former first lady’s mind. “She has stood by him and will continue to stand by him because she is just like him,” Wolkoff added. “It’s a completely transactional marriage for both. She knew exactly who she married and warned him that all his secrets would come out if he ran for president.”
Critics seem to think that Melania doesn’t share the same beliefs as her controversial husband, but as Wolkoff noted, they are very much aligned. “She knew exactly what she was getting into. She accepted it and she continues to accept it. People would be surprised by just how much they agree about things,” she added. No amount of advice dished out by anyone, including Daniels, is going to be welcome. Melania is making her own decisions about Donald Trump and their unconventional marriage.
