    Oddly precise wording. She could have chosen more blanket language and she didnt. She might just as well have held a press conference and admitted she is guilty.

    Up until today I’d just assumed without thinking about it that she wasn’t involved in any of the scummier Epstein dealings, but she’s just done a good job of making me question that.

      Epstein is the trafficker, but he used other prostitutes to get young girls over into his island. Melania Knavs, defined previously was a “model”, was pimped to Epstein by Paolo Zampalli, a wealthy Italian who ran the famous Roman bunga-bunga sex parties in the 90s. By calling her a “model”, she got her green card. Knavs then helped traffic children to Epstein, and in all that she married a John who was Donald Trump.

      The person who knew all this was Melania Trump’s friend, Amanda Ungaro, who Zampalli had deported by ICE to keep quiet.

      But Ungaro is now talking to the world press about how FLOTUS was a pimp.

    I’ll bet this is something the founding fathers never saw coming, a thing 45 previous first ladies have never gone before the country to say.

    First, epstein island to distract from the thing.

    Second war to distract from epstein island.

    Third we’re back to epstein island again.

    Fourth, coliseum gladiator fight between nepotism babies on Crack (hunter Biden vs trump sons).

    Lolz.

    I know I’ve seen lots of pictures of the Trumps with Epstein and Maxwell, and I know I’ve seen emails between Melania and others indicating that they were at least friends who hung out.

    What I haven’t seen is evidence that Melania was party to the pedo stuff. I assume she WAS party to it, because her own life story screams “sex trafficked, but at a higher class of trafficking,” but i would like to understand KNOWN FACTS about her role in this. Is there a good article somewhere about her part here?

    I ask because there is a scenario where her husband is good/close friends with Epstein, and Melania is playing the role of the Important Man’s Wife by making insincere, surface friendships with the friends’ wives.

    Kind of like mob wives might clique up, even if they don’t actually like each other or enjoy the company, if that makes sense.

    I’ve never been legally accused of eating an entire sleeve of Oreos at 3 in the morning last night.

      ah yes, the bloated face beaten to a pulp under thick makeup look. Classic beauty standard in many conservative countries, not just the US.

      They were probably fired becuse the Trumps thought they can do a better job. Just like Musks.

      We have a saying here, “Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall” or the bible:

      „Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.“ (Proverbs: 16,18, KJV)

    We have a strange suspicion that she was secretly trying to remind everybody that the Epstein Files are still a problem.

      And picture this: she had a whole camera/lighting/set/production crew to capture this moment to broadcast absolute gibberish to the world. WTF is even happening?

        Not it doesn’t. It means she wants her disgusting anchor hubby to stroke out so she can fade into obscurity with billions of stolen dollars.

        She could be doing it to hurt her idiot husband. Her motivations don’t have to be good. People (inadvertantly) do good things for bad reasons all the time.

      maybe she is secretively trying to sabotage trump, and get a divorce where she gets more money from it.

        Ah, so they’re trying to liquidate the country to make dividing the assets easier for the divorce.

        I wonder who I’ll have to go live with after.
