Well, Trump’s MAGA-hat wearing army would turn on Melania, but let’s rewind and start from the beginning.

Marriages are stressful enough without the world watching your every move, although no president has ever gone through a divorce whilst in the White House.

Those looking closely at Donald and Melania’s relationship have had plenty to talk about since they took occupancy, with porn stars and hush payments and rape and sexual assault accusations par for the course.

Then, of course, there’s the fact that Melania has sometimes publicly shown disdain for her husband.

Business Insider decided to look into what would happen in the case of a divorce, looking at Donald’s past prenuptial agreements for clues:

Trump’s prenup with his second wife, Marla Maples, was largely designed to avoid a messy public fight like the one he went through with his first divorce.

A copy of his prenuptial agreement with Maples that was obtained by Vanity Fair showed that Trump wasn’t afraid to draw harsh lines in the sand in the event of a divorce, including cutting off child-support payments if the child got a job or joined the military, and barring the ex-spouse from publishing any details about the marriage.

If his child serves in the military, I guess that proves that bone spurs aren’t hereditary.

Donald has spoken before about his prenup with Melania, saying “the beautiful thing is that she agrees with it. She knows I have to have that”. That means his current prenup is probably also pretty cutthroat, although things may have been altered once he entered the White House:

Jacqueline Newman, a managing partner and divorce litigation specialist at Berkman Bottger Newman & Schein, said Melania likely “upped the terms” when she was set to become first lady because of the extensive lifestyle changes she was going to experience.

“Whatever amount of money she was due to receive, my guess is that she’s going to want an increased amount,” Newman said. “If they were to divorce now or after he’s no longer president, there’s going to be security detail, there’s going to be all sorts of things that are going to be very different for her as a former first lady than if she was just Donald Trump’s wife.”

Ah, that could answer the question of why she sticks around.

When it comes to their 13-year-old son, Barron, the child maintenance payments could be pretty steep:

In his divorce from Ivana, Trump was also ordered to pay about $650,000 annually in child support for the couple’s three children, which was similar to what they agreed to in their prenuptial agreement, according to The New York Times.

Trump’s divorce agreement with Maples stipulated that he would make $100,000 child support payments for his and Maples’ young daughter, Tiffany [above, centre], until she turned 21. It also said the payments would stop if she got a full-time job, enlisted in the military, or joined the Peace Corps.

For those unfamiliar with Tiffany, have a snoop through her Instagram account.

If Melania did run for the hills, Donald could actually appoint a replacement First Lady. That doesn’t have to be a romantic partner, so you probably know where this is going:

Past presidents who were single and widowed picked their nieces and daughters.

Trump’s pick for a replacement first lady would likely be his eldest daughter, Ivanka, who is a senior adviser in the administration and present at many notable official events, sometimes to the confusion and chagrin of some.

Ivanka, having overcome incredible odds to become one of Trump’s senior advisors, isn’t exactly respected on the world stage.

Sadly, even if Melania was freed from the shackles, it’s unlikely she would ever be able to dish the dirt:

Vanity Fair reported that the confidentiality agreement signed by Maples dictated that she wouldn’t publish “any diary, memoir, letter, story, photograph, interview, article, essay, account, or description or depiction of any kind whatsoever, whether fictionalised or not, concerning (or seeming to concern) the details of the parties’ marriage.”

Of any violation, it said: “Donald will suffer irreparable damage and injury in the event of any such breach.”

You may remember that Maples is the woman who was forced, by Donald, to say he was the best sex she ever had.

Something tells me that Donald and Melania won’t get divorced whilst in the White House, but down the line, that could change.

Whether that’s a call made by Melania, or Donald wanting a younger model, remains to be seen.
