    Wait, is there some American law that forbids the first lady to divorce a president? Also what about the 4 years between his two terms?

    It seems like she has exactly what she wants.

      No law, but she would likely be killed in the streets if she even attempted it by insane fanatics. That’s not even remotely a joke either. Its an extremely real possibility.

      No, no law against it. I think she doesn’t want to risk upsetting his fanatic followers. And in between his terms they were still in the public eye.

        Uhm…So… Why isn’t she divorcing him if she’s not happy?

        Your argument was that she is a first lady, therefore she cannot divorce a president, but turns out that’s not the case.

        So she didn’t get what she wanted. She’s miserable. There are no laws stopping her divorcing him, but according to you she won’t do it because she cares about trump’s followers? Or do you think she’s scared for her life?

          Some people simply can’t see women having any authority/accountability in their life. It’s the same with JD’s wife, or until recently, Erika Kirk. I think it’s a form of misogyny. These are not “poor little women” stuck with their husbands. They know exactly what they wanted, and they got it. They’re also pieces of shit.

          The scared for her life thing. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t empathise with her, I think she deserves to be miserable. But I don’t think she has an option for divorce right now.
