Should We #SaveMelania?

After all, no one deserves to be married to Donald Trump.

Should We #SaveMelania?
Celebrity Insider

The infamous hashtag began when videos and gifs circulated the internet of 45th's inauguration. In these clips, it appeared that Melania Trump was not only completely ignored by her husband, but also that she expressed a clear dislike, some might even say hatred, for him. Thus, the hashtag #SaveMelania began to pick up steam.

For the most part, it has been forgotten, with a few resurgences every time Melania shuns her husband's attempts at hand-holding or other affections. However, the latest video of Melania and Donald is downright cringe-worthy, and has successfully reignited the question: does Melania Trump need saving?

Some say no, on the grounds that her relationship with 45 is healthy and not the concern of the public. While there is definitely some controversy on the former, I can concede to the latter.

Some say no, that she is implicit in the Trump administration and is therefore as guilty as he is in everything that is happening in the nation.

Some say no, that she knew what she was getting into when she entered into a "gold-digging", "green card" marriage.

Others say yes because the constant tabloid sensations of her husband's sexual exploits, including rape and molestation accusations, wear on any wife. Especially as the "porn star" scandal revealed that Trump engaged in sexual activities while Melania was a new mother to their son, Barron.

Others say yes, that even if she whispers in her husband's ear, she likely is acting as a scapegoat for other, more influential people in the administration.

Others say yes, that even someone who entered into a marriage of this nature should still get a chance at redemption. Who knows what atrocities are threatened in her pre-nup should she terminate the marriage?

Both sides seemingly have endless arguments for their respective beliefs. Even more don't give a flying f**k.

What do you think? Should we #SaveMelania?

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
