An Unhappy Accomplice

By David Glenn Cox

Obvious, My dear Watson, I call it; the case of the missing First Lady or The Lady Said, No. Despite the orange scam master’s public persona, something is missing this time around.

Things one needs to run for President.

  1.  A spouse
  2.  A family
  3.  A dog. (optional, but recommended)

Things Donald Trump is missing this time around.

  1. A spouse
  2. A family
  3. A dog

Donald Trump’s wife Malaria, AKA Patty Hearst Trump has been a noticeable no show. And who could blame her? Only if Donald were dressed as Ronald McDonald with a daisy in his hat, could it be any more embarrassing for her. The happy times are over. Like a Twilight Zone episode she’s become the anti-Jackie Kennedy. Too late to get out and forced now to take the ride. Forced to become a Meme like Elvira or Booberella.

It’s not what they say about you as much as what they don’t say. Take, for example, the question often asked of Hillary Clinton. “Why do you stay with your cheating husband?” Nobody, but nobody ever asks, Malaria Trump, “Why do you stay with your cheating husband?” They asked Hillary because it was a fair question. They didn’t ask Malaria because it was an obvious question.

Personally, I’d be offended. Won’t somebody at least ask me? But it is actually a blackout question and verboten. Questions like, do you miss the porn business? How are you dealing with being married to an insane maniac kamikaze pilot? What’s it like living in a dumpster fire?

Honestly, a marriage would be quite a difficult task to manage under such stress. Love walks out the door when money flies’ innuendo. How could you ever explain? Look, well yes, she was a porn star. But not like you! Either way you go, you only make things worse.

For all the world, it looks like the appearances are negotiated appearances. [Enter room] step, step, step [smile] step, step, step [turn] step, step [smile] exit room, appearance complete. Scenario 2, stand behind Donald while he makes a fool of himself on stage. At least three smiles [Required!]

The ole Ozzie and Harriet routine of the 1950s American housewife. She gets up and cooks him eggs and bacon in the morning cause she knows he works hard all day. A picture which just doesn’t fit. Pretending everything fine. Everything is just swell! When we all know that’s impossible. Because that’s what Golddiggers do! Duh!

That’s why Jesus wasn’t married. People are gullible but wives are not. Wives are just not going to buy that “I was dead story! And then I got better!” Were your no-good gang of lazy friends dead too? Oh! Just you huh! My mother warned me about marrying a religious fanatic.

It’s all just too much to take. Malaria could handle January 6th. She didn’t do it, she wasn’t involved. She could handle the stolen documents case. She never used those restrooms. She didn’t notice the boxes or the notice the FBI. But the Stormy Daniels case is a public humiliation for Malaria. So not only must she accept a philandering husband, she must act happy about it. “Everything is fine. See? I’m smiling.”

“I believe Donald despite his confession and illegal payout.”

Ms. Trump’s experience in the White House could best be called tumultuous. Digging up the famous Rose Garden and thinking red Christmas trees were pretty and not garish. Then whining about the lack of magazine covers offered to her. When it was explained, that’s what your press secretary is supposed to do, get you press. You don’t just sit there and wait for the phone to ring. “I’m ready for my close up!”

But ignorance is bliss, and it doesn’t look like Malaria is all that anxious to make the run again. She didn’t know what she was getting into before and this time, she does. All that and multiple court cases too! Is she a willing partner or hapless victim? AKA Patty Hearst Trump forced to walk across the stage and smile, while blinking, “Help Me!” in Morse code.

Which brings us back around to the question, why Ms. Trump was never asked “Why do you stay with your cheating husband?” What else could she do? Where else could she go? And do what? Write a book? It would be easy enough to consider her hired window dressing. But she has had reason enough and cause enough, to successfully eject from the marriage. And if she hasn’t left by now, she’s an accomplice and not a victim. But at best, an unhappy accomplice.

Sometimes it’s hard to be a woman
Giving all your love to just one man
You’ll have bad times
And he’ll have good times
Doin’ things that you don’t understand
But if you love him you’ll forgive him
Even though he’s hard to understand
And if you love him oh be proud of him
‘Cause after all he’s just a man
Stand by your man
Give him two arms to cling to
And something warm to come to
When nights are cold and lonely
Stand by your man,
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
Stand by your man
And show the world you love him
Keep giving all the love you can
Stand by your man
