Why Melania will grit her perfect teeth and weather the X-rated storm [Video]

Outside my Washington office, there is a picture of the Slovenian Sphinx visiting the Egyptian Sphinx, taken during a 2018 photoshoot in Giza nine months after Melania Trump was blindsided by the steamy news about her husband and Stormy Daniels. The pairing evokes the riddle of Melania: How much can she put up with from a husband who betrayed and humiliated her in the basest possible ways?

As Donald Trump’s hush-money trial begins, we’ll be reminded of what a heel he is. And like Hillary before her, Melania will have to hold her head high as she stands by her Lothario. Melania will also put political and personal prospects above mere resentment. (She doesn’t want Donald broke and in jail.)
