11. She Married Her Father
There are many accounts, even from Melania herself, about how much Donald is like her father. They say girls marry their fathers, after all. There is, firstly and most obviously, their age difference. While Donald is 70 years young (just five years younger than his father-in-law), his wife is 46, meaning there is a 24-year age gap.
Donald is by far old enough to be her father, and in fact, his eldest son is only eight years her senior. Furthermore, both men are tall, plump, and have the same hair color. Both Viktor and Donald are impetuous men who appreciate the finer things in life, and as Viktor’s friend and neighbor Tomaz Jeraj says, “He has business in his veins.” Sounds like someone else we know.
Oh, and let’s not forget the adulterous tendencies of both men (we’ll get to the details later). Finally, one of Melania’s old friends from Ljubljana, the capital of her country, puts it best when she says, “It’s about all that power and protection. I think she needed a strong man, a father figure.” Gross.
