"Her husband Donald goes to bed in what used to be a living room. But with a little creative thinking, as Kevin McCloud would say on Grand Designs, he has transformed it into a curated sleep space all of his own.... Trump appeared... to be engaged in a decorating arms race with Melania in the room next door. Trump was 'determined to have the better room'.... To this end he was said to have removed gold pieces that his wife had selected for the hallway and brought them into his own bedroom to sleep among them.... Sleep scientists, and Cameron Diaz, will tell you that separate bedrooms does not imply an unhappy marriage...."
From
"Trump 'steals Melania’s decor to make his bedroom better than hers'/The latest insight into life inside the White House pits the president against his wife in a decorating arms race" (London Times).

So, Haberman was the NYT's lead Russian Collusion Hoax reporter. For three years she peddled a load of crap that she had to know was false. So, take anything she writes with a grain of salt.
This is why I can’t believe that the Trump “hate” dialed up to 11 is real. They are so fascinated by Trump that the Left and their Corporate Media transcribers can’t quit him. Every lefty in every race down to school boards and neighborhood co-ops is “running against Trump.” They will miss him more than I will and I voted for him 3 times in 2 states.
That is reaching even for maggie
Very lame,
Sounds like she is trying to provide targeting information... "Melania is in this part of the building, separated; if you just go into his bedroom gun blazing, there will be no collateral damage."
She was part of the narrative that covered the maralago raid
Good to see Maggie still working on the big stories.
They are so ridiculously absurd
FWIW, 15 years ago I was told by a couple of Secret Service agents that the Clintons hadn't slept in the same room for decades, and that the lamp-throwing episodes were all true.
The only import of this to me is how hypocritically they portrayed another image to the public.
“He loves gooold.. The look of it! The smell of it! The taste of it! The texture! He loves gold so much that he lost his genitalia in an unfortunate smelting accident.”
- Maggie Haberman
How do these leftists in the media know this?
Just the chimps typing
Left: “On verge of divorce!”
Everyone else: “He’s being considerate and doesn’t want to disturb her with his restlessness.”
As to the decorating, to each his own. It doesn’t concern me.
Wake up, Maggie, I think I got somethin' to say to you
It's five months out and you really shouldn’t be playin’ the fool
Too late
So what if it's true? Trump.is an 80 year old man. I know Melania is quite a bit younger, but she's post menopausal. Are we supposed to believe sleeping together is vitally important to the relationship? My grandparents eventually had separate bedrooms because my grandpa snored so loud. They still loved each other. We could all see that.
Trump notoriously sleeps for about 5 hours a night. He's also the freaking President of the United States! If I were Melania, I'd imagine it's easier to sleep on my own without a bunch of interruptions every night. Who cares?
I bet the two of them have sexual intercourse 2 or 3 times per week. It is important for the First Lady to keep the President sexually satisfied. Cf., The Clintons.
"I bet the two of them have sexual intercourse 2 or 3 times per week. It is important for the First Lady to keep the President sexually satisfied. "
Is that why Trump fucked Stormy Daniels when Melania was home with a newborn?
Look at the amontillado level architecture lefties construct for themselves
Have you seen Stormy Daniels lately? - a huge old ugly fat cow.
But back in the day - when she saw Trump's enormous penis - "she blacked out"
LOL! just like in the movies.
Shut up dave
Nice to see Althouse has returned to reading fantasy fiction again.
Maggie Haberman loves 'digging for the truth' so much, she leaves plenty for her readers, too.
Thats not soil
Trump is a mythological figure -- a 21st century Paul Bunyan, Mike Fink, or Pecos Bill. Legends about him write themselves.
(In the Sixties, (many) children had still heard of 19th century mythological figures like Mike Fink and Pecos Bill (from books and the media, not from storytellers). Such knowledge has faded away over the decades)
Haberman, the NYT expert on Trump courtesy of a thousand unnamed sources, extends her imagination to an unverifiable mind game played between husband and wife.
Wonder if Maggie Haberman would like to assume the role of J. Edgar Hoover's microphones under Martin Luther King Jrs. mattresses? Then Maggie could give her readers the "real inside dope" on the state of Trump's marriage.
"Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan"
I miss my younger days, when "journalists" didn't leave me feeling so thoroughly wearied to my bones.
And then Trump grabbed the steering wheel of the bedroom and told the secret service agents to take him to the more auriferous option available.
Trump supposedly sleeps 3 -4 hours. Melania probably wants her own space, so he doesn't keep her up
My parents always had separate bedrooms because my mother was a night owl and my dad went to bed early. They had their own space and each thought it was ideal.
Yes, there is the romantic ideal of spending every night in each others arms. Then there is the reality of arms going numb, knees in the back (or worse, nuts), snoring, restless legs, screamy dreams, stolen covers, etc. Many couples just defer to reality and sleep apart. But hey, then date night means you get to take the other one 'home.'
The Ozzie and Harriet twin beds might actually make sense as a compromise. CC, JSM
Snoring can't be fixed with gold. Menopause, in all its pauses, is a bitch. Who cares? Not our business, and not journalism.
