In early February, shortly after the Inauguration, Trump was living in the White House, Melania had returned to New York, and it was announced that Trump would be watching the movie “Finding Dory” that night. Around that time, we learned that Trump had brought in someone from his own private security detail. (“Mr. Schiller, 58, a 6-foot-3 former narcotics detective, has protected Mr. Trump for 18 years. The head of a Praetorian Guard of private security detectives, Mr. Schiller occupied a Trump Tower office on the same floor as his boss and learned, he said, to anticipate his wishes.”) Hmmm, drugs? Sex?
What came to my mind was that watching “Finding Dory” was the story for public consumption, but the real story was that Trump’s private security guy would be arranging for a young woman to keep the president company that night and that Trump had named his penis Dory and would be asking the young woman to find Dory. And maybe even scratch behind his ears to make him happy.
With Melania away and tales of other presidents having dalliances in the White House, Trump needn’t have felt constrained. He even might have wanted to compete. After all, if FDR, Kennedy, and others, had done it, so could he. And his ladies would be hotter.
If I were Melania, I would never move to the White House. I would be thankful for the break from being with that boorish husband, constantly being treated so dismissively by him. She may be rooting for him to remain president for a full four years so that she can be rid of him without having to divorce him just yet, turn up only for the obligatory appearances at Mar-a-Lago and such. If their son Barron has issues, there may be very good reasons for him to stay in New York in familiar surroundings.
The down side is that if Trump is impeached, he will surely blame it on Melania for choosing not to live in the White House, or for not servicing him regularly, or for some other reason he will dream up.
So the movie watching is a cover for fun under the covers. Hmmm, wonder what the next movie will be. “The Great Wall”? “Beauty and the Beast”? For sure it won’t be “I Am Not Your Negro.”
