What I REALLY want to know about the news-behind-the-news is, why is Melania suddenly holding press conferences to say that she didn't know nothin' about Jeffrey Epstein and *especially* wasn't having a relationship with him?

I mean, with the right it's ALWAYS projection, right? So if she runs true to form for a conservative this probably means she had an affair with Ghislaine Maxwell.

@cstross I suspect this is part of her exit plan -- get Donnie so worked up and frothing he has a heart attack and kicks it. This was her absolutely and intentionally knifing him, metaphorically at least, and while she's horrible people she's also ruthless people and clever people.

I rather look forward to the infighting which I'm sure has already commenced.
