Donald Trump’s shocking election victory in 2016 came with a price, and not just because he owed Vladimir Putin for helping to put him in the White House.

It turns out that when Melania Trump announced her decision to stay in New York so that her son Barron could finish the school year there, she had another reason entirely for delaying her move to the White House.

As most of us likely already suspected, Trump and Melania have a pre-nuptial agreement. It makes a lot of sense. After all, Melania was just an unsuccessful model at the time she met Donald, a wealthy real estate mogul who was (and is) obsessed with having his employees and sexual conquests sign non-disclosure agreements. He likely had all three of his wives sign a prenup, probably because he wanted to have all the power.

But once he gained the power of the presidency, Melania gained quite a bit of newfound power of her own, and she used it to put the so-called “dealmaker” in his place.

The Daily Beast reports:

[A]ccording to a new book, the first lady used that delay in her arrival as leverage to help her negotiate better financial terms in her prenuptial agreement with the president. Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan writes in her new book, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, that the new first lady was upset about campaign revelations regarding Trump’s alleged sexual indiscretions and the notorious ‘grab them by the pussy’ Access Hollywood tape. Jordan writes that Melania delayed her arrival at the White House to give her time to cool off and ‘to amend her financial arrangement with Trump—what Melania referred to as “taking care of Barron.”‘”

Indeed, Trump infamously carried on an affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels shortly after Melania had given birth to Barron, misconduct that most Americans reacted to in disgust even as Trump’s evangelical supporters defended this clear violation of the Ten Commandments and the “family values” they claim to hold dear.

It would have been embarrassing and awkward had Melania not moved into the White House to serve as First Lady, and might have forced Trump to turn to Ivanka to fill the role. And so, Trump was apparently forced to make a new deal. Clearly, Melania is the true dealmaker in the White House.
