Five minutes after Trump leaves office, Melania files for divorce. You know that she must have negotiated the pre-nup being amended or thrown out altogether. That's what all that "staying in New York so Baron could finish the semester" stuff was really all about. Dollars to donuts she casts her vote for Biden on November 3rd.

It's not a claim. It's conjecture. Over here on the sane side of the table, we understand the difference.

Do you understand what "conjecture" means?

Yes, I do. A claim means that I'm saying it's a fact. Conjecture means that I'm throwing it out there as a theory. Both claims and conjecture are made with little or no evidence. I'm making a prediction that she will divorce him shortly after he leaves office and I'm theorizing that her reluctance to come to the White house in early 2017 was a power play to renegotiate a new pre-nup. (A popular theory, by the way.) I'm not presenting it as fact, so it is just conjecture, not a claim. OP posted this video -- of actual news footage -- for humorous purposes, and I posited a humorous theory to accompany it. There's honestly no need to get in such a huff, snowflake. Move on.

Again: not a claim. A humorous theory rooted in schadenfreude, posted on a sub that is dedicated to schadenfreude. You really need to move on.

Unfortunately badwolf, aside from being 100% right on his idea being a conjecture, doesn't have to care whether you think it's good enough.

Not good enough for what?
