There are going to be a lot of these little nuggets coming out soon enough, little stories about Melania and details from what is perhaps the most transactional marriage in history. Stephanie Grisham’s no holds barred expose I’ll Take Your Questions Now puts a bow on the end of the Trump administration, a point which just so happens to coincide with that point in time during which she was most disgusted with the couple.

Embarrassing little details fill in a bigger picture, how did that marriage, that dynamic, even work? Or did it work? Was it all for show?

The morning crew at CNN tried their best to unwrap the mystery this morning while discussing a detail from Grisham’s novel, that Melania “took a nap” on Election Night. As transcribed by Mediaite:

“I’m not going to put her on the couch,” Cupp said. “Was that because she was very secure and confident that he was going to win, or that she knew he wasn’t? I don’t know.”

She went on to add that Mrs. Trump is “just very hard to unfold. But the sleeping through part? I get, I completely get.”

With a laugh, Keilar said “Okay, but there’s disengaged, and then there’s asleep, I mean what? These are two different things.”

(Keilar just demonstrated why she’s this staff’s favorite CNN analyst, only she could pull the above line off with such flare.)

Co-anchor John Berman chimed in, at the end, that “There was a lot of that discussion that was like, you know, over my head a little bit, but not really. But thank you very much.”

Keilar laughed and cracked “Were you asleep?”

“Did you have a headache?” Cupp joked

Yeah, one gets the sense that the CNN morning team has determined that the Melania-Donald marriage isn’t one filled with mutual support, compassion, and deep affection, It seems a bit more transactional and Melania slept through a period in which her services weren’t needed?
