A marriage made in heaven

[samintx]

While Melania enjoys the services of a chef and an assistant, there’s no nanny raising their son, Barron. That’s the mother’s duty. “We know our roles,” Melania once told Parenting.com, referring to the division of labor with her husband. “I didn’t want him to change the diapers or put Barron to bed.” The boy she calls “little Donald” wants one day to be a “businessman and golfer” and, as she told the publication, almost always dresses in suits. “He’s not a sweatpants child,” she’s said.

Melania is as fastidious a wife as she is a mother, which Donald appreciates. Things come easy with her. “I work very hard from early in the morning till late in the evening,” Donald told Larry King in 2005. “I don’t want to go home and work at a relationship.” To the twice-divorced Donald, Melania is terrific. He’s never heard her fart or make doodie, as he once told Howard Stern. (Melania has said the key to the success of her marriage is separate bathrooms.) He can trust her to take her birth control every day, he boasted to Stern; she’s just amazing that way. She has the perfect proportions—five feet eleven, 125 pounds—and great boobs, which is no trivial matter. Stern once asked Trump what he would do if Melania were in a terrible car accident, God forbid, and lost the use of her left arm, developed an oozing red splotch near her eye, and mangled her left foot. Would Donald stay with her?
“How do the breasts look?” Trump asked.
“The breasts are okay,” Stern replied. Then, yeah, of course Trump stays. “Because that’s important.”

A marriage made in heaven! This is a portion from a GQ article.

That just sounds so terribly yucky...

I'm not sure who is worse.. a chauvinist who can think that way, or the woman who is willing to accept it.

(btw, "worse" really isn't the word I want, but I'm not going to spend time thinking of the exact word)

That's funny - 'yucky' isn't what I wanted to say either, but I've had a long day and I'm too tired to aim for perfection

Sounds like little Barron is on track to end up like Uday and Qusay Trump.

more lamentable?

I thought Melania was supposed to be so smart. Subservient?

I think that Barron is autistic. And his parents, no matter how kooky, obviously love him very much.

Donald and Melania have exposed themselves to a lot of mocking but the child should be left out of it.

Melania seems to be quite free about discussing her son and how they parent him, she brings him up in interviews. I don't see how pointing out that Trump is distant as a father is picking on the son. An article in the NYT about Tiffany Trump mentions how his adult children's way of complimenting his parenting skills is to say that he always took their phone calls when they were young.

Trump's parenting skills, or lack thereof, are part of the bigger picture of his attitudes about women, children, and families which stand in stark contrast to his opponent's. I think it's okay to point them out.

Sure the Clintons spoke about how they parented Chelsea, but that didn't make it right for the media and entertainment to use her as their punching bag, which they cruelly did.

I think there's enough material from Trump's adult kids to leave the youngest one out of it.
