#Melania wants you all to know that she never had anything to do with #Epstein, never been friends with him, never even met the guy. And hasn't even ever met Ghislaine Maxwell.

So please don't boost this photo, as that would make her sad.

@statsguy

Everyone keeps acting like a mystry why she did this today, but I think it's very simple.

She's been mad and has wanted to do this for months. And she keeps asking Donald "now can I push back? NOW?" and he said "fine fine do it" since so much else is going on and he wants her to shut up about it.

That's it.

@futurebird Could well be.

Or maybe she's hoping that bringing the #EpsteinFiles back into the news will give her husband a heart attack and speed up her inheritance. Who knows?

@statsguy

The awkward thing is that in an alternate universe not that different from our own a young Melania could have been trafficked by Epstein. He had a guy who ran around Eastern Europe offering teen girls "modeling jobs" and taking their passports.

She has to know about that world. She was at least adjacent to it if not a part of it. Does she care about those other girls? Or does she just step on their necks in her high heels as she climbs higher?

@statsguy

I have the feeling she's one of those women who would say "they knew what they were getting in to"

This is the attitude of people who recognize that the world can be exploitative and unfair, but who think that those who get taken advantage of deserve it.

What a very ugly way to be, especially for a former Einstein Visa fashion model. For our first lady. The embodiment of that All American dream of marrying a wealthy man who becomes more wealthy and more powerful.

@futurebird @statsguy Then being dumped by their wealthy man for a younger woman.

Melania is as disposible to Trump as Pam Bondi or Kristi Noem.

Unless, of course Melania has some proper dirt on Trump that would stick properly.

And would be released in the event of something unfortunate happening to her.

So maybe Melania was trafficked or maybe she climbed over the bodies of her dead and dying comrades.

In the madness of Nero's court everything was possible and anything would seem normal.

@the_wub @futurebird @statsguy At a minimum it raises questions about the circumstances of her immigration. Is she obliquely suggesting that Oversight should investigate that, thinking it will hurt her husband more than her? We can only speculate. The guy who once claimed to have helped her get a visa is now a 'special envoy' in Hungary with JD Vance trying to help Orban. Presumably he knows some shit.

@futurebird I thinks she's already told us exactly how much she cares through her fashion choices

Melania Trump says 'don't care' jacket was a message

Mrs Trump's own team had denied that her clothing during a visit to a detention centre had any meaning.

Thx 4 orig Adam boost

RE
#melaniatrump has been mad and wanted to do this for months

Maybe, but most posts on Mastodon seen to leave out this important point, she mentioned the guys.

She is â­•directly asking these "several powerful male executives who resigned" to give, â­•testimony.

The problem is some Democratic House Representatives HAVE tried to get them and the #EpsteinSurvivors to Congress, but it was the Republican leaders who STOPPED it.

@six_grandfathers_mountain

what's more is that any failure to comply with a subpoena from congress merely leads to a referral to the Injustice department, which will do nothing.
