  • ‘She is counting minutes’: Melania to divorce Donald Trump?

    Donald Trump, who recently lost his presidential re-election campaign to Democratic challenger Joe Biden, could soon find himself facing divorce proceedings, it has emerged. 

    British tabloid Daily Mail quoted a former aide to the first lady of the United States (US), Omarosa Manigault Newman, as saying that the 15-year marriage of Trump and Melania Trump is over and the latter is “counting the minutes until he is out of the office and she can divorce him”.

    “If she [Melania] were to try to pull the ultimate humiliation and leave while he’s in office, he would find a way to punish her,” he said when asked as to why did Melania not divorce Trump earlier.

    The report quoted another former aide, Stephanie Wolkoff Senior, who was the advisor to the first lady, as saying that Trump and Melania had separate bedrooms in the White House and a “transactional marriage”.

    Back in 2016, Melania had burst into tears when Trump won the presidential election as, one friend said, “she never expected him to win”. However, Melania waited five months before moving to Washington from New York allegedly because their son, Barron, had to finish school.

    However, Wolkoff said Melania was negotiating an agreement so that Barron could have an equal share of Trump’s fortune. “Now, four years later, she is going forth with her plan.”

    Reports also say that Trump’s inner circle, including his wife Melania, wants the 45th US president to accept his loss and concede defeat to President-elect Biden and exit the office “gracefully”.

  • Donald Trump, wife Melania test positive for coronavirus

    United States (US) President Donald Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, have tested positive for coronavirus.

    It was announced by the president himself as he took to Twitter and revealed that both Melania and him had tested positive for COVID-19 and started with the quarantine process.

    This comes one month ahead of the US election.

    In an earlier tweet, Trump had said that they were waiting for their coronavirus test results after close aide, Hope Hicks, had tested positive for the same.

    Hicks, 31, is the closest aide of President Trump to have tested positive. She had travelled with the president on Air Force One earlier this week. Trump had even said in an interview on Thursday night that he and the first lady spend a lot of time with her.

    Prime Minister Imran Khan has also wished them a speedy recovery.

    The US remains worst-hit by the virus that has affected at least 34.2 million people worldwide with over a million deaths. By the filing of this report, the number of coronavirus cases in Trump’s America stood at 7.31 million with over 208,000 deaths.

    The now infected president has over the past few months been widely criticised for “not taking the pandemic seriously”.

  • Theresa May accused of sexism over gift given to Melania Trump

    Theresa May accused of sexism over gift given to Melania Trump

    All eyes are on the Trumps as they currently tour the United Kingdom. Ever since they landed on Monday afternoon, they’ve been engaged with the Royals. While Trump has back to back meetings today, his wife, Melania Trump will be having a tea with Britain’s outgoing Prime Minister Theresa May’s husband.

    However, the residents of 10 Downing Street are facing accusations of “lazy sexism” for their choice of gifts. While Donald Trump received a historical artefact recalling the Second World War alliance of their nations, his wife Melania received a tea set from the Prime Minister.

    Trump’s gift was a framed typescript draft of the Atlantic Charter agreed by their predecessors, President Franklin Roosevelt and Sir Winston Churchill, in 1941. The president is a great admirer of Churchill and moved a bust of the wartime leader back into the Oval Office as one of his first actions on entering the White House.

    Meanwhile, Melania received a bespoke No 10 tea set, created by British designer Emma Bridgewater. The Prime Minister’s spokesperson said that both gifts had been carefully chosen and the tea set was “a memento of a visit to No 10 as part of what we hope will be a successful state visit”.

    Melania’s choice of present did not sit down well with the public who described the tea-set as “patronising” and that it “portrayed an outdated view of gender roles.” They called out Theresa May for her “outdated belief that there are ‘boys roles’ and ‘girls roles’.”

    Some even joked that “Melania is married to one of the most divisive and unpleasant men in modern history – so at the very least she will need something stronger than tea.”
