In now
what barely registers as news
Melania
not loving to play the role of political wife
in the first place
will now not be accompanying her husband
to the Davos World Economic Forum
for reasons that seem suspiciously timed
to the revelation
of Trump's year-long relationship
with adult actress Stormy Daniels
when Barron Trump
was four months old.
Would that this consensual
(albeit adulterous) affair
marked the nadir
and not the zenith
of Trump's treatment of women.
