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?

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
