Here is a thought experiment: Given what you've learned about President Donald Trump over these past few months, how do you imagine he'd treat his then relatively new third wife during her first pregnancy? Would he...accompany her to appointments? Practice delivery-room breathing techniques? Prop open doors for her? Ask her, like, even one time, how she was feeling?

Or...would he do this?

"About six months after they married, [Trump] became pregnant with Barron—and things changed," according to Vanity Fair's new and delicious piece on Melania Trump's general unhappiness, titled "Inside the Trump Marriage: Melania's Burden."

"She was 35—'checkout time' for women, as Trump once told Howard Stern-and no longer the dewy fox he'd met seven years earlier. A visitor to one of Trump's homes, late into Melania's pregnancy, recalls him remarking that he agreed to the baby on the condition that Melania would get her body back. 'She promised him that everything would go back to the way it was,' says this guest; it struck this person as a 'contract.'"

The source continues, explaining that Trump wasn't just dismissive, but notably inconsiderate. Apparently: "There was no 'How do you feel?' No opening of doors, making sure she didn't fall. Just 'You wanted to have a baby.'"

...Lovely.
