it became more intensified as grisham writes after the allegations of the affair. and i think it is interesting, people have this idea she was somehow trapped in the white house or crying in her gilded bedroom, my husband cheated on me, i think what grisham says here is what people said to me as i reported, she is not necessarily sad that her husband cheated. she knows -- allegedly cheated, she knows who she married. but she was humiliated and angry and what she didn't do is what typical political spouses do, which is sit down on a news talk show program, or walk hand and hand, in fact, she did the opposite, she demanded separate motorcades, she wouldn't walk across the lawn with him, and she requested that handsome military aides be selected to walk with her for state of the union, to be photographed with her, so she was very like melania trump, very calculated in her visual messaging saying i'm not okay with this. >> knowing how important optics is to the former president. >> exactly. >> so this is like the height of passive aggressive, you know, marriage tactics
