    Donald Trump’s looming legal troubles may have prompted the former president and his wife Melania Trump to once again revisit their prenuptial agreement in an effort to protect his financial assets ahead of impending and likely contentious litigation.

    Trump currently faces four criminal indictments, including two federal indictments, as well as a civil action in Manhattan, in which a judge this week ordered the Trump Organization’s New York corporate charters be revoked.

    “People are speculating that Trump may be losing a lot of money in this New York suit,” Harriet Newman Cohen, a high-profile divorce attorney, told Insider. “Not to mention the millions of dollars he’s spending on attorneys in suits all over the country.”

      If you recall during the bill and melinda gates devorce, there was some speculation that it may have been a maneuver to protect assets. (lets say she gets half of everything… then if he gets sued, the lawsuit can only go after the half he kept.)

      maybe this is a similar kind of thing. Personally, I suspect their relationship is transactional. That is to say, as long as he can still be her sugar daddy… she’s going to stick around.
