    Melania Trump's Renegotiated Prenup May Have Proved a Long-Standing
    Conspiracy About Her & Donald

    When Melania Trump renegotiated her prenuptial agreement with her
    husband, former US President Donald Trump, many speculated that divorce
    was coming soon after, or that because of it, we'd see Melania more on
    the 2024 campaign trail. While neither has happened as of Oct 7, many
    think the prenup did prove a long-standing conspiracy theory about
    their marriage.

    While the biggest bombshell in the contract was that Melania would get
    a big payout no matter the case, a detail in the paperwork caught
    multiple people's attention. And it has people convinced their marriage
    is purely transactional, as many conspiracies have theorized.

    Attorney and former federal prosecutor Ron Filipkowski claimed he
    predicted this legal move back in May, per Newsweek via MSN. "She
    renegotiated the prenup back then, just continue to stay with him and
    stay on board. But this proves that the whole marriage has been
    transactional," he said. "Her original prenup had like escalator
    clauses that were about the amount of money she would get if they
    divorced and went up the longer she stayed with him and also went up if
    she had a kid."

    The word transactional made many people remember a theory about Melania
    and Donald's marriage. Many have claimed that the two's marriage seemed
    more transactional than about true romantic feelings.

    This isn't the first member of the public eye to allege this. Melania
    and Me author Stephanie Winston Wolkoff alleged to the BBC back in 2020
    that Donald and Melania's marriage is truly transactional. "I do
    believe it's a transactional marriage," Wolkoff said. "Donald got arm
    candy. Melania got two dynamic decades. She was a young model, she
    didn't have success yet. She met Donald, she married, she became an
    American citizen, they had a son, and ten years after that she's the
    first lady of the United States."
