Fun stuff! She's very talented at the pop psychology thing. Nothing scientific about it, of course, but great intuition and blunt as hell when she feels she's figured it out. I was impressed with things like this, no beating around the bush, get straight to it:

So it gave him an appetite for royal trappings. Do you think it also gave him a sense of always being an outsider? 
It’s two sides of the same thing. The entire country is now living in this man’s conflict between a desire to be royalty and a profound feeling that he doesn’t belong.

People who feel left out can probably smell that insecurity on him and identify with it.
Exactly.

What about his father’s nostalgia for the German homeland and the sense of being persecuted as Germans. How much should we read into that, about Aryan tendencies?
Trump picked up from his family the idea that German blood is cleaner — he’s said stuff like when Germans have parades nobody has to clean up after them. German superiority is certainly a part of his sense of self.

and on Melania, she gets right to what we were bouncing around with, succinctly:

But what were her choices before? You flirt around the Melania escort question. The material you cite about the sexualization of women in Russia is amazing.
Russian and Eastern European women were sexualized the second that the Berlin Wall fell. The people of the former Soviet Union were looking across the wall at ads with scantily clad women selling cars and clothes. They equated capitalism with buying sex — that’s Melania’s generation.

And there was a thin line between the pageant and modeling world and being an escort. But if you’re asking specifically about whether Melania was an escort? All I can say is that I don’t know what her career was like between Slovenia and showing up in New York. When the Daily Mail was sued for looking into that, that avenue of questioning was closed down.
