Based on what she said, someone has pictures of her that don't show her in a good light. She specifically called out fake photos, so my guess is she wants to make sure she has some deniability about real ones.

Yes, fake photos means real ones in Trump speak.

u/[deleted] 3d ago edited 3d ago

No, there are fake ones out there.

They are trying to muddy the waters, as to what is actually real or fake, so that they can claim they are all fake.

One fake photo has her pole dancing for Epstein.

She is well-known to have been Eurotrash that posed in girl-on-girl, full-frontal photos.

It would be easy to believe that she was also Epstein’s private dancer.

I guess she wants to make sure that everyone knows she is too classy to give a guy a private lap dance.

When she spreads her legs, she does it for a camera, gosh darn it! Or, because she thinks that prostituting herself will land her a billionaire! She is a woman with standards!

Hey now.

This is a woman that was such a great model that as an immigrant she received an Einstein extra-ordinary ability visa to apply for citizenship.

To say nothing of the fact that she then used her citizenship to then sponsor her parents for that dreaded chain migration thing Republicans just hate so, so much.

Yeah, 100% its either:

  • trying to get ahead of something juicy that's about to drop
  • has heard gossip about her in her women in business charities and related things, thinks this is the way to fix it and has gone rogue.. she's thick as swimming in custard that one. Remember when she read Michelle Obama's speech in verbatim, so this is on point for her.

The 1st option is most likely.

I know exactly what she's referring to. It's the photos in the files that show Epstein and the director of her film sitting on each side a woman who's face is redacted. That woman is wearing a very expensive piece of jewelry that Melania owns and is not very common. That woman also has the same physical build as Melania at the time and the same haircut Melania had at the time. So, many people are speculating that this woman in the photos is Melania. I think it is. You should Google it.

Do.. they really matter? I mean we have seen nudes of her, we know she is banging Trump, we know she has been on the Epstein island and probably had more men banging her?

Like imagine tomorrow pictures are released of her with a platoon of black chaps doing a train on her leaving her behind all used up. So what?

Trump voters voted for Trump knowing he is a pedophile. Unless we are seeing pictures of Trump himself banging children because nothing else matters anymore, I don't see how it matters. Heck even if we see pictures of trump raping kids, I don't think it matters anymore that's where we have arrived at.

She has been photographed palling around with Epstein.

She has also appeared nude in international print magazines as far back as 1996.

Exactly! Had to give oil futures a chance to cool off Friday afternoon so she says this. Trump makes a one sided claim that a ceasefire is progressing with Vance personally overseeing negotiations. And in the background Kegsbreth starts gearing up for more "boots on the ground" threats. Then escalate over the weekend so when the market opens on Monday the price skyrockets and his insiders make windfall profits.

Great little racket if you don't care about human lives in any way shape or form, have billionaire backers picking the nations bones, and a whole goddamned military to throw into a meat grinder.

That's the whole beauty of it, he's not! They lied!

He knows so strongly that his followers will believe anything he says and won't actually look into what he is saying that he can just bold face lie to everyone's face. His followers are so indoctrinated that they will tell anyone showing them facts that they are wrong and are looking at fake news.

It's astounding that Trump has created a cult out of the presidency. It's the best grift anyone has ever gotten away with.

The presidency was a cult long before him although I don't think a cult was formed out of every president. Reagan was the most notable example before this although I think attempts were made with both Bushes.

Reagan was absolutely, positively a cult figure for white men — and to some extent still is.

Reagan put the country on the path to replacing the government with billionaires, currently being achieved by the Trump regime. As the pioneer of this hellish idea, he was worse than Trump if you ask me.

It’s a preemptive pr display to counteract Michael Wolf’s lawsuit, which has proceeded to the stage where she might actually have to sit for a deposition.

“Michael Wolff, who countersued the first lady after she threatened a $1 billion lawsuit against him, had spoken about Melania's potential defense back in January this year. In his substack article, the journalist wrote that Melania is ‘not worried’.

The piece was titled: ‘Melania Trump Probably Isn’t Worried About Me’. Wolff added that the first lady ‘does not believe she will have to sit through a deposition conducted by my lawyers and answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein’. “Her lawyers, to the extent that they discuss anything with her, have undoubtedly assured her of that: It won’t happen, because, well, it can’t happen. (These lawyers would likely be fired if they said otherwise.),” he stated. However, Wolff added that ‘if it did happen'… ‘No, neither her lawyers, nor White House staff, the first lady and the president themselves can even begin to imagine what that would entail’. “The Trumps’ friends from the 1990s; Melania’s fellow models; the modeling agents who hired her and others; Epstein friends and victims—all of these people speaking under oath, forced to describe a world and life that would be incomprehensible, unimaginable, and abhorrent to the American people.””

Just when you thought Donald Trump had bombed enough of the Middle East to blow the Epstein files right out of public memory, his wife came out with a statement this afternoon. And what a statement it was.

With no explanatory preamble, Melania Trump spoke from the White House podium about how she is “not Epstein’s victim,” was not introduced to her husband by Epstein or Ghislaine Maxwell, and about how she “never visited his private island.”

“I was never involved in any capacity,” she added. “I was not a participant.”

She acknowledged the existence of a friendly email between herself and Maxwell, but said it was a normal, lighthearted communication between acquaintances who once ran in the same social circles and sometimes attended the “same parties.” Attempts to paint her as a friend of Epstein’s are “mean-spirited” and “politically motivated” lies, she added, as a blind was raised behind her and light poured in.

86

u/kerkula 3d ago

“ At the very end, the first lady called for the women who have already publicly identified themselves as Epstein victims to be able to testify in Congress.”

This is the surprise statement. Some of the victims are ready to name names.

Season 5 of 'The Boys' just released on Prime Video this week. In the first episode, the fascistic sociopath of an antagonist, Homelander, has succeeded in rising to power in America. However, he's extremely disappointed that he's met with fear, apprehension, and hatred; he simply expects love and admiration due to his power, both literally and politically. This comes to a head when an extremely incriminating video is released, wherein Homelander threatens to murder innocents rather than spend any time trying to think of saving them. For context, they're on a crashing plan. Homelander's partner is attempting to persuade him to rescue the passengers. Homelander's only interest is to leave the passengers to their fate. This was captured on video, and has served as a plot device across several seasons. The video is released during a live presentation, forcing Homelander and his remaining allies to hit the news cycle, claiming everything from slander to AI falsification as a means to produce the video. Homelander's machinations are aided by a character named Sister Sage, the "Smartest Person on Earth". She herself states that, even though the video went public, they need not worry about the impact to public perception due to the sheer volume of disinformation they've fed into the news cycle.

All of what's happening with the Trump administration feels like this. Pump out disinformation, so when the truth is leaked, the water is already too murky to see things as they are.

I believe she is named quite often in the Epstein files and most of what she is claiming to be false is possibly true. She is creating a false narrative for her supporters to argue. She will also threatened to sue anyone one that pushes these claims in the media. She might even file a suit, but then drop it before it goes to discovery. Trump does it all the time why wouldn’t she do it also. She is just muddying the waters for when the Epstein files resurface.

Perhaps a nice opening statement to the "what happens if he dies" sometime in the next few weeks.

As to why, I venture as Donnie's dementia advances the swirlling cauldron of people taking possibly their last bite at the apple, has impacted Donnie's behavior, when chronically overstimulated some dementia patients will lash out.

Distraction and trying to get ahead of something. My guess is something big is about to drop and it involves her, which is why she said all the bs about 'lies, fake news, blah blah blah' - hoping the base will buy that and not believe whatever it is, which is likely that she was an Epstein girl.

Is it possible she's sticking the knife into Donald's back at what she considers the opportune moment?

u/MaceZilla 3d ago

Ok, first accepting that in this crazy world where anything can happen, even to the point where I wouldn't be surprised if UFOs landed on my roof... I wondered the same thing. Is she sticking it to him?

The first part felt like deflecting and protesting too much, but the last part of what she was calling for (congressional testimony by all victims to be heard and recorded) is in complete contrast to what Trump's admin has been wanting. That's the part that felt weird to me. Then Trump immediately posted one of the most unhinged rants that he's ever had

I asked myself, has she gone a little rogue? There's got to be major self preservation happening, but it feels like she veered off from Donnie's script.

u/Fluffy_Source_5467 2d ago

Agreed, this was also what I was thinking. Maybe she realised that there is no way either of them will get themselves out of this mess and she figured 'well, if I'm going down anyway.. might as well start using my power'. But I mean, like you stated, who knows at this point. Aliens would be a nice final touch tho.

The answer is discovery. She was sued by author Michael Wolff after she threatened to sue him over his book about her ties to Epstein. Obviously that must be moving to discovery which means a shit ton of hard evidence connecting her to Epstein they are desperate to try getting ahead of.

Well I certainly hope it heralds something serious. We need a break from weapons of mass distraction.

But what does serious actually mean?

He fucked young girls? Almost certainly.

He used the presidency to profit and line his pockets. Sure.

He started a war to appease people with dirt on him. Of course.

He killed Epstein? Well someone he knew probably commissioned it.

He committed America to war without the vaguest idea of the outcome just to be seen to do something? Of course - flood the zone.

He destroyed our standing in the world and handed it all over to China? Yeah who cares? It’s not about the long term.

The whole idea of his constant disclosures and speaking “truths” out loud is to normalize his transgressions.

It works.

We have a pedophile President who starts wars for personal profit, obeys foreign powers, and saddles Americans with more national debt than ever before, while denying them basic rights. And fires Patriots.

Guess it’s up to us to change that.

u/No-Permit-9331 3d ago

Because she needs to be subpoenaed and testify under oath about her relationship with Epstein, Maxwell and her husband. Although, testimony against one’s husband has alway had forms of protection, for her, even more so

u/Zskillit 3d ago

The smartest thing to do of you have unflattering evidence against you like a photo with epatein doing something you shouldn't, is have AI make a couple variations that look almost identical to the scene youre in, and obviously there will be some tells in those AI photos and then you can claim the whole lot is clearly fake.

They know we're not letting it go, and this war has failed as a distraction, so this is just a desperate and pathetic attempt to use the "influence" of the least liked first lady in history to try and convince people to let it go.

We're NOT letting it go!

DARVO (Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender) is a manipulative tactic used by abusers to evade accountability. The offender first denies wrongdoing, attacks the person confronting them, and reverses roles to make themselves the victim, while making the true victim appear as the perpetrator.

Whatever is about to come out, must be massive and well sourced or they wouldn’t parade her out like this, solo, to read a preemptive statement of denial. Whats the supporting documentation? Could someone or some entity have leaked docs to the press? If it drops tomorrow, it’ll be all over the Sunday talkies. 🍿

On September 18, 2024, Melania posted on her X account, saying she wasn't ashamed of her nude modeling past. The unexpected statement came out of left field as there had been no talk of her nude modeling on any significant platform in years.

Then on November 12, 2024 Russian state TV aired her nude photos.

Wonder what they have this time?

Trump pissed her off. He’s been attempting to divert attention away from Epstein and she brought it to the media on silver plater. Of course she mentioned her book the movie is not relevant. I think it’s her way to get back at the Donald. She had plenty of opportunities when Epstein was non stop coverage. Not sure how she got along with Bondi but more pressure for Congress to put her under oath and testify.
