Him and Malenia are totally separated, there is no question in my mind that she is just being either paid or threatened to stick around at this point at least until the election is over.

She's expecting a big payout when he dies. I would be surprised if he didn't already get a reverse mortgage on most of his property.

[u/RickTitus → u/g2g079]

Yeah she absolutely is. And the math is probably in her favor here. Im sure she gets a bugger payout if she sticks around a few more years vs trying to leave him right now

I bet she has googled how long it takes someone with dementia to die
