“You know, he drives to work in his bicycle with his, with his, in all fairness, with his husband on the back, which is a nice loving relationship,” Trump said sarcastically. “But he didn’t have a clue. This guy… didn’t have a clue.”
Yeah, everyone knows that only homos love their partners. Real men like Trump view their partners as trophies and fleshlights.
Lol you think Melania let's trump have sex with her?
I'd put money on that not having happened in years.
Lol you think Melania let’s trump have sex with her?
You think she has ever given that level of consent?
The phrase ‘women let men have sex with them’ bothers me. It frames sex as something women permit men to do, rather than a mutual choice both partners actively make.
In a relationship sex is (or should be) a mutual expression of attraction, love, desire, acceptance, understanding.
The idea that women “let” men have sex with them is problematic because it frames intimacy as something one person grants another, like a favour, rather than a shared experience. In healthy relationships, sex isn’t about permission or transactions—it’s about mutual desire and connection.
The word “let” also subtly reinforces old stereotypes, where men are seen as chasing sex and women as controlling access to it. Relationships work when both partners feel equally free to express what they want, say no without pressure, and see intimacy as something they create together. Consent is an ongoing dialogue where both people check in, respect boundaries, and prioritise each other’s comfort.
Ultimately, sex shouldn’t feel like a performance or a prize. It’s about vulnerability, trust, and collaboration. Good relationships thrive when both people feel heard, valued, and free to be themselves without rigid roles.
I'm of course not suggesting that there are any indications that Melania and Donald have anything approximating what could be called a good relationship.
The small amount of comprehension you showed in the last paragraph made the entire soap box unnecessary. Context is important here. The entire point is that Melania has never wanted sex with trump, and has never enjoyed it, but just allows it to happen under certain circumstances. It's the entire theme of the mockery.
I’m not the person you’re responding to, but tbh, though I wouldn’t ever describe my relationship in those terms, it seems like they might be true to their dynamic.
You know, I would love to agree with you, but that’s just not the case for many husbands in hetero relationships. I watched my wife’s libido fall through the floor after the birth of our child. After years of therapy and communication and commitment to the relationship, we got it back from once every two months to almost once every week, and that’s the max she said she’s willing to commit to at the moment. I’d be more content with 2-3 times that.
Some tropes exist because there’s a bit of them grounded in reality.
I think you're not comprehending the commenters point.
It's not saying that men and women have exactly the same desires and necessities. It's saying that framing sex as something that men do to women is problematic.
Fair enough, I support that sentiment.
I watched my wife’s libido fall through the floor after the birth of our child.
Some things I’ve heard along these lines can be exhaustion from the responsibility of caring for a child. I’m not accusing you of anything, but you might meditate for a minute on what household and childcare tasks you do versus her, and consider how that might have an impact.
That's not a woman thing. That's a human thing. People's libido is extremely variable throughout their lives, and compared to other people's. I know many hetero relationships where (luckily for me) the masculine member is not interested in sex but their partner is. Your wife doesn't have a low libido because she is a woman!! That's insane.
I think the main difference is that men feel entitled to sex, and women just deal.

Well said.

not for FREE, its probably a clause in her prenups that she must recieve certain amount of money, and then to birth barron cost him extra,.
Trump historically is very well known for accepting a “no.”
Although maybe Melania has Putin on speeddial to leak the piss tapes if he crosses her.
She should take one for the team and let him die of a happy heart attack.
By "take one for the team" do you mean wear an Ivanka mask?

“But he didn’t have a clue. This guy… didn’t have a clue.”
Seriously, Trump calls people "low IQ" and says they "don't have a clue" while being the absolute stupidest motherfucker who ever fucking lived, how is he not called out for this? Trump's reading comprehension and speech is at the level of a young child. I swear I don't understand how this absolutely stupid, vile excuse for a man can be president of the most powerful nation on earth.
The realm in which he picks his fights is full of people who get off on being "above the fray." Every time he attacks someone who can defend themselves, he quietly stops in a hurry.
Scott Bessent also has a Husband so kinda curious how he would feel if trump ever rotated to him to throw him under the bus.
We’ll see in a month when he’s thrown under the bus
And a former partner at Soros Fund Management.
That the antisemitic and homophobic bigot fanboys like Alex Jones aren't demonizing him as a "deep state globalist degenerate" or whatever and demanding that Trump fire him is a perfect example of how servile they are to their Mango Mussolini Messiah
Alex Jones is just an Elon Musk cheerleader selling sea moss and ranting about the devil at this point. It’s incredible to see how contradicting his current support for this administration’s illegality is to his whole philosophy from when he started. He never cared about anything. It was always about chasing the grift. He rolled Bill Cooper into Rush Limbaugh to sell cheap supplements to rubes at a high markup.
You're mostly right, but I have it on good authority (Knowledge Fight) that there's two parts of his whole schpiel that are and have always been genuine: his bigotry and his fetishization of violence in general and guns in particular.
The rest IS an act for attention and profits, though.
Dan and Jordan are way too respectful to talk about Alex’s love for porn of trans women. Wonder if that’s a factor in the divorce.
Totally. Shout out to JorDan and yourself.

I'm sure than man is happier with his marriage than melania ever was.
Melania is perfectly happy with her marriage, when she doesn’t have to be anywhere near Donald.
At least he is married to a man. All Melania has is a geriatric toddler.
One of these guys literally bought his spouse.
Well Trump married an illegal immigrant so maybe ICE should sort that out.
Interesting, did not even know that Trump and Musk are married.
Which one? I know melania was imported on an Einstein visa. (I shit you not)
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-43256318
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/did-melania-trump-visa-really-qualify-for-her-einstein-visa/
So she immigrated legally, but essentially through a loophole. Why am I not surprised?
Because all of Trump's relationships are transactional, he can't fathom a relationship between two people who actually love each other and work together as equal partners.
So is his treasury secretary Scott Bessent
He was probably trying to repeat a vicious joke that one of his henchmen told, and he botched it, because above all else, his primary characteristic is his virtuosic incompetence.
Trumps just jealous Pete gets laid
And likes/is liked by his spouse.
Make no mistake. Melina is just as much of an asshole as Trump.
That doesn't contradict the implication that she doesn't like him.
pete is also a veteran too.
It's not like he hasn't mocked veterans before
Pete's partner loves him though. Melania's only been at the wh for 10 days iirc. What a loser.
*Melanie, per Trump.
He's a disgrace, but his fans will absolutely love it
I think you accidentally a word.
I did
I edited, and I tried to come up with a funny joke, but I failed
