#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.

#EpsteinFiles #ReleaseTheEpsteinFiles

@statsguy do you mind

I'm sharing a different photo of them all together to prove she's a liar 😆

@statsguy

All this because she's p***d that her movie is a flop.

@statsguy You can read it all in her boook!
@statsguy Looking at the photo I`m really wondering where Epsteins right hand was???
@Chris @statsguy I was wondering the same thing.
@jkdelauney @Chris @statsguy
Dipping the other guy's pocket.
@statsguy Maybe she means her current face has never met Epstein or Maxwell.
There Can Only Be One Reason for Melania Talking Epstein. It’s Not Good

Why on earth would the First Lady want to voluntarily raise her husband’s worst scandal? It seems crazy—but it shows how low he has fallen.

The Daily Beast
@Npars01 @statsguy The first I saw about this was an article headlined something like "Melania says she was not Epstein’s victim." I did not waste time reading, downloading, nor bookmarking it. I just thought, "No, she was a willing accomplice," and moved on.
@Npars01 @statsguy
Sanewashing, though.
It says only one and then at the end notes that well, maybe he just doesn't know what's going on at all.

@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

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-45853364

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.

@futurebird @statsguy
@glynmoody
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.

@statsguy

She also claims she loves DJT ...

@idjansazov I'm sure she loves his money

@statsguy

I doubted she has access to his money. The only thing this guy loves more than his ego is money. After that girls. Then lawyers, then his buildings. I will be surprised of members of his family gets into top 10 of his priorities.

He gives her some breadcrumbs like the movie that Jeff Bezos paid and she has some change to buy hats.

@statsguy alt alt text: the smug look of a new owner showing off his purchase with the brokers.

@statsguy Well this approach, that of denial, seems to have worked just wonderfully for Crown Princess Mette Marit of the Norwegian Royal Family.

Yes, just wonderfully, that is, until incontrovertible evidence in the form of email exchanges between her and Epstein entered the public domain.

@statsguy nice way to infom and boost your own post in 1 easy step - being a rebel😆 Well played!
@statsguy every time I see this photo it makes me sad. He looks smug, she looks coked out of her mind.
@statsguy Melania never met this Epstein you know? She never did. Democrats did. Evil people. Even if they didn't, but they did. I know it. I know a lot. I know about pineapples. Big great pineapples you ever seen. They have the greatest pineapples in Florida.

@statsguy You can also add this pic of #Melania from the same #Maralago series with oh wait, #Epstein and arrested-for-questioning #Andrew, as well as this less famous one of her with #Trump and #GhislaineMaxwell .

#EpsteinFiles

@outsiderhope @statsguy to which you can add this of #Melania and #Maxwell from 2002, but well, other than signing 'X Love' when emailing Ghislaine and seeing her multiple times, it could never amount to anything more than trivial.
@statsguy i cant See her on the pic.
Must be Donnie with a porn model
@statsguy
It was how Trump became her sugar daddy.
@statsguy Her denials are effectively confirmation of her relationship with him.
@statsguy Really expected this tweet to get a lot more play in response to this.

@statsguy i think she assumes that her usual stony silence lends her rare public words now some sort of credibility.

Nope, she's usually just too dumb to form a worthwhile thought.

@statsguy I think her husband's insanity is wearing off on her.
@Pamela1960
Where would such people lead a country with millions of people to ?
@statsguy And that looks like Prince Andrews hand on her waist!
@statsguy
Melania didn't know Epstein or Maxwell.
Well, maybe they brought her coffee that one time.
Weekend Reading

What fresh hell is this? #Affordability #Corruption #Incompetence

The Corsair
@statsguy I suscribe to the theory that some dirt is about to drop and she is just trying to get out ahead of it.

@statsguy

Anyone else creeped out hard by that gross belly-grab those two pervs do there?

@statsguy To be clear, she doesn't deny knowing him, she denies being friends with him.

To be honest, she isn't friends with any of the people in this photo.

@statsguy The best and most plausible explanation I have heard is that they want to get the situation in the middle east out of the news so desperately, that they’d rather deal with the Epstein files again, since most of their base doesn’t really care.
@Fiona Possible. And kind of ironic given that a large part of the reason for starting the war in the first place was to get the #EpsteinFiles out of the news again
@Fiona I guess it all depends on whether the statement was done at the Tangerine Tyrant's request or on Melania's own initiative, and it's very hard to know which of those things happened.
