Discussion: Melania Trump Cuts Ties With Advisor Paid $1.6 Mil By Inaugural Committee

Interesting, I suppose, but apropos of what? Is there some hidden message here? Some deeper insight that this brings to the surface? It’s not exactly a Kafka short story.

$26M or so to a contractor who skims $1.6M and then says she had other bills to pay, coincidentally right around the time tRumpU had a $25M settlement.

nothing to see here folks, please move along.

They had a video on the TV.of her talking about how adults should be “encouraging positive habits on social media and technology,” to set an example for children.
It was just painful to watch . Seriously painful, in addition to the irony meter going off the scale and twirling several times before blowing up.
She needs to find a quiet spot and just stay out of the limelight.
Looks like dearest Donnie set her and her bud up as fall guys .
Was that in the prenup Melania?

Sad. This is going to distract her from the stellar work she’s been doing on Da Siber Bool-ees.

I would volunteer for an unpaid gig, if it really paid $27.6 million including a 1.6 million tip. It must be a Republican thing. First Paul Manafort and now this twit volunteer but make out like Black Bart.

And this: Melania: “We tell people we sever our professional relationship until this blows over…ok? Ok, see you at the spa later.”

According to a report in the NYT, the $1.6 million was divided between her and 15 other workers. Still a lot of money but $100,000 a piece or so, is fairly standard for a big operation like the inaugural or a convention of its equivalent. The larger question is how and by whom the ~$25 million was dispersed and how much of that was “administrative” salaries.

So melania is pissed because stephani decided to renege on the 50/50 deal and keep it all for herself.
another great business decision.
Should have got better advice from your sugar daddy.
He has a 100 lawyers or so who could have protected you.

It’s not called “cutting ties” after you’ve given the money. It’s called cutting and running after that.

At least now we know where one tiny slice of that $100M-plus went.

Manafort has one foot down on the road to Leavenworth already.
