    It’s a folk monster from the Philippines. A person who at night splits their torso in half in search of people to eat (or was it the one that eats fetuses from pregnant women?).

    You kill it by burning the lower half before the upper half can return to it.

  I’ve been thinking that ever since I saw her sitting next to her obviously stroke-afflicted husband at that failed Army extravaganza on his birthday, looking like she was just waiting to snatch his soul. There’s even a mention of her in the Wikipedia page:

  In the erotic novel Melania: Devourer of Men (2018), Melania Trump is depicted as a manananggal who must keep her identity hidden after her husband becomes President of the United States. The novel has been discussed in several podcasts.

  It’s definitely a look that suits them both, lol.
