"I really don't care. Do you?"

[hermanholleboom]

Every woman with self-respect would never appear in such a humiliating case and should file for a divorce instead.

[patriciathomas]

As a woman I would not show up when my husband is on trial for paying hush money to a call girl that's embarrassing for any wife

[dwyflkz]

If i were stupid enough to tie myself to this maniac . . .
I'D HIDE TOO 😂😂😂😂

[jjvsqz]

IVANKA and JARED have their $2 Billion. No need to be at court,

[Minnie_Robbie]

I couldn’t careless about any of those grifters. Send that clown to prison.

[johnnyssik]

She didn't show up in court because she is embarrassed to be seen with him.

[frankdegennaro]

Melania's absence, speaks volumes.

[jamesgeorge]

My theory is, *She HATES Him, and is just waiting for her payday* . Of course, actions speak louder than words.

[fletcherchristian]

No one is praying harder for a guilty verdict than Melania.

Something stuck me as very telling. At (3:35) Stephanie says Michael was on his way to get some coffee with some friends. You will never hear about Trump going to get anything with some friends.... he has none. He has sycophants and a** kissers and people afraid to say anything bad for fear of being skewered on the internet and in the media. Fear is not a bond between friends. I hope he goes to prison for the rest of his miserable life. He has caused misery to many.

Melania would show up if the price was right.

[terrencekane]

Todd Blanch made a big mistake calling Michael Cohen the GLOAT. That is most certainly going to backfire.

[galaxyglitterlatte]

One of those reporters should ask Chump point blank: "Where's Melanoma???" Chump kept asking Niki Haley where her husband was while she was on the campaign trail. Her husband was serving in the military overseas-which is something Chump would know NOTHING about!!!

[bwfsrbo]

It's humiliating and she knows he is guilty and was going to be found guilty. The only way she can save face is divorce him but with what she knows there may be a bottom of a staircase in her future if she did. She would need protection from her husband and his cult.

[carmensaavedra]

I'd be embarrassed too. I'd divorce him and take everything.

[pockets]

Make america great again with three words. GUILTY as charged...

[Tlab]

Of course Melania believes he did it. That's why she's not there supporting him. I don't even think she's mad that he did it; their marriage is transactional. I believe she's just mad that everyone in the world found out, and she was expected to put on a first lady smile and carry on.

Not so relevant to this story, but I feel sorry for Barron. What a set of parents.

[Doomskay]

It’s crazy how much I DON’T give a f*** about where she is….
