Well, she still has some time to catch up with Trump who has had 3 wives and cheats on them.

He's been in the press for nearly 40 years, and has admitted cheating on the first one, Ivana, with the second one, Marla, whom he then married, 23 years ago. The comparison to Clinton won't wash, as Clinton was credibly accused of exploiting a young employee, of serial abuse-of-power seductions of the one-night-stand variety, and even of forcible rape. Clinton had to pay Paula Jones an $850,000 settlement; and Hillary savaged all the many accusers, such as Juanita Broaddrick and Kathleen Wiley, on top of her having defended a child raplist against a 12-year-old girl victim. That's not remotely comparable to Trump having cheated on his first wife, whose ambitious and competitive drives may have contributed to a marriage breakdown. Not excusing cheating as a solution; but there's a quantitative and qualitative difference in the two men's stories.

In the short-lived second marriage, Marla is the one rumored to have been the cheater in that marriage, not too long into it. Both the ex-wives have said he would make a great president.

Turmp himself recently said, when interviewed about his serial marriages, that they were good women and the fault was his for working all the time and not spending enough time at home; but that his present wife has straightened him out on that.

I've seen nothing said about cheating since the split from Ivana 24 years ago.

He met Melania 18 years ago after the split from Marla, and they eventually married and had their son a year after they were married 10 or 11 years ago. He and Melania appear to have a very close and mutually admiring relationship; and he is very close with all his children, three of whom are married, and with his 7 grandchildren. They are also on a cordial basis with Melania, unlike the grown children of many divorces; and Ivana continues to live in her own section of Mar-a-Lago. In fact, Donald was present at Mar-a-Lago when she married one of her subsequent boy toys there. Neither of her two marriages after Donald to much younger men have lasted, indicating some judgment issues there; whereas he has achieved stability as a paterfamilias to a congenial group of offspring.

Do you know something we don't know? Post a link!

"He met Melania 18 years ago after the split from Marla"

Correction: 18 years after the split from Ivana
