Donald and Melania Are DEFINITELY Sleeping in Separate Beds Tonight After Friday’s Hush Money Revelations

Absolutely ruthless.

First, yes, we know, Donald and Melania Trump don’t sleep in the same bedroom. In fact, I don’t know if they ever did? When Trump invited former lover Karen McDougal into his apartment at Trump Tower, he showed her “Melania’s Room”. And that was in 2006, the year after Donald and Melania married. So if they were sleeping in separate bedrooms as newlyweds…yikes!

Today saw the testimony of Hope Hicks, the woman Trump most wanted on Air Force One with him before or after an event or meeting. And it appears that Hicks has completely turned on her former boss.

I mean, almost all of Trump’s compatriots have turned on him, but Hicks did it in a pretty spectacular fashion, breaking down in tears on the witness stand during his criminal trial.

And what she revealed in court was groundbreaking.

Apparently, after the Karen McDougal story — the Playboy “Playmate” that Trump had an affair with for nearly a year while he was married to Melania — came out, he demanded that Hicks stop the delivery of newspapers to Trump Tower, lest Melania read one. So Trump was actively trying to hide his

It’s hard to remember the timeline of Trump and his candidacy and presidency, because all of it was so tumultuous. But Hope Hicks was in it from the beginning, serving as his spokeswoman in 2016 and then comms director while he was in the Oval Office.

If there’s anyone who knows where the bones are buried, it’s Hope.

During her testimony, Hicks swore before the court that allegations against Trump from McDougal and adult film star Stormy Daniels were very personal to Trump. That he didn’t want anyone to find out about the affairs because he wanted his family and the campaign to be proud of him.

That tracks, since there’s never been anyone who was more proud of themselves than Donald Trump.

It only stands to reason that this is the thing that drives his egocentric, ridiculous behavior. He absolutely NEEDS validation, when he objectively has no redeeming qualities.

According to Mediaite, Hicks broke down on the stand, brining on an unexpected recess in court. When she returned, she testified that “[She thought] he was just concerned about what her perception of this would be. I know that was weighing on him.”

Imagine what a position of privilege you have to hold in order to keep your aide from allowing newspapers to be delivered to your house so your wife doesn’t have to (get to) read about the affair you had while she was pregnant with your son.

I actually feel bad for Hope Hicks, who still has to carry this burden.
