In the months since the world learned about Donald Trump’s affair with Stormy Daniel and subsequent payoff to keep her quiet, we’ve seen Melania Trump find a series of not-so-subtle ways to publicly humiliate him for it. She’s taken separate cars to major events. She’s refused to hold his hand when she’s known the cameras were on them. He’s deserved everything she’s been dishing out and far worse, of course. Now Trump has his biggest Melania problem yet, and it’s fair to refer to it as a full blown crisis.

Melania surely knew about at least some of Donald’s affairs over the years, as they’ve long been a poorly kept secret in general. She only began publicly retaliating against him once the Stormy Daniels scandal became public knowledge. It seemed to be the public humiliation that pushed Melania into seeking a bit of revenge. She seems to want nothing more than for this story to go away. Instead the opposite just happened.

Donald Trump’s new “attorney” Rudy Giuliani just went on the Sean Hannity show and acknowledged that Trump did in fact reimburse his other “attorney” Michael Cohen for the $130,000 that Cohen had paid Daniels to keep quiet. In so doing, Giuliani confessed that Trump violated federal election law. He also essentially confirmed that Trump really did have the affair with Daniels. While it’s remotely conceivable that Cohen could have panicked and paid Daniels to keep quiet about false accusations, there’s no conceivable way that Trump would have then reimbursed Cohen for it.

So now, not only is Donald Trump’s affair and payoff firmly back in the headlines, one of Trump’s own goons just admitted by default on live national television that Trump really did have the affair, and that he really did participate in the payoff. If Melania Trump was rightly upset before and looking for symbolic revenge, she’ll be enraged now, and looking for much more high profile revenge. We’re looking forward to seeing what she has up her sleeve.
