I can't help but feel sorry for Melania Trump. She just looks so awkward, anxious & overwhelmed at every public event & I can sympathise.

Because it is essentially a supportive, social, appearances role. Must wannabe presidents avoid marrying introverts with own interests?
-
Hilary Clinton co-chaired the (albeit doomed) Healthcare reform commission & Michelle Obama was also active policy wise
-
OK, great. We certainly know Hillary was politically ambitious. But if they weren't? If they had their own lives?
-
Michelle Obama had her own life, she was a successful hospital administrator. Now she's talked of as a potential POTUS.
-
But she was happy to give it up and be Flotus, wasn't she. What if she wasn't political at all & wanted to carry on in hospital?
-
It's a good question - maybe someday we will see a partner of the POTUS who takes that position.
-
Power of that scale tends to be hard to turn down. Either that or its a 'duty' that one is unlikely to shirk.
-
Yes, I imagine so. I'd shirk it tho. Get divorced if necessary. Remarry after his term was over.

This is likely resolved early with career politicians. For Trump, he must have been supported by his family. Bizarre if not
-
They have to marry career supporter-of-politicians.
-
As US politicians seem to come from dynasties, would expect nuances of a political career (& suitable partners) to be well known
-
You're missing the point. I'm asking why this is necessary. Why the president is not enough. Why does spouse have to be involved
-
Not how easy it is to make sure you marry a person suitable for the job of FLOTUS but why you'd have to & what if you didn't?
