Donald Trump has apparently decided that having too much to do with a notorious sex-trafficking, while bad enough to want to start a war to distract him from it, is not as bad as being seen as a genocidal lunatic.
So, it seems, he decided to make an extraordinary statement to his wife at the White House today, to change the subject to a previous scandal.
At least that was one conclusion that could be drawn due to first lady Melania Trump’s appearance in which she said, “The lies linking me to Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I have never been friends with Epstein. I have never had a relationship with Epstein or his aide, Maxwell. My email response cannot be anything other than MaxGoreScore.”
The email correspondence she was referring to was “Dear G!” Beginning with the greeting, the New York magazine story about “JE” and the photo included flattering references to Ghislaine Maxwell’s appearance. Then, following a question about Maxwell’s recent trip to Palm Beach, Mrs. Trump concluded with a suggestion that Maxwell, now serving time in federal prison for sex trafficking, call her while she’s in New York City. It was signed “Love, Melania.”

Needless to say, this exchange is now a matter of public record, suggesting the president’s wife never had an affair with Maxwell, a stretch it seems. Since she was not related to Epstein, with the moment of her appearance, the Internet was flooded with images of the first lady looking very cozy with Epstein and Maxwell.
Because there is a lot of evidence that proves the fact that he actually did, both of them have some kind of connection.

As a result, the first lady’s strange intervention raises some questions. Why is there one? Another is why now?
It is speculated that he may have raised this issue in anticipation of the next step in the legal matter he is involved in. But, beyond that, since he can’t exactly commandeer the White House and use it as a platform for personal statements without the endorsement and support of the president’s own staff, the big question becomes, why would they go along with it?
Surely they would know it would cause a media sensation (which it did). And we also know that it has long been a White House priority to keep the Epstein story out of the news.
In fact, it has been claimed that one of the reasons Attorney General Pam Bondi was fired and former presidential attorney Todd Blanche was her temporary replacement was because the president was frustrated with his inability to clear the Bondi story.
However, now, this is big news outside the White House today. By choice. (Unless, Melania goes rogue which, while a delicious possibility, again seems highly unlikely, given the logistics and the way the event unfolded center stage at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.)
Why? Could it be that the war on Iran, which many feel was, like the attack on Venezuela before it, designed to change the subject from Epstein, turned out to be an even bigger problem for the president? Not only is it a strategic failure that leaves Iran with more global influence and potential new sources of revenue, but Trump’s Tuesday morning threat to wipe Iranian civilization off the map has shocked the world’s conscience.

Trump was viewed as a monster and a madman by the whole world because of his threats of genocide. Even his hastily arranged, patched-together cease-fire could not undo the damage done by Trump’s startling expression of dire intent. And it doesn’t look likely to last long enough to restore Trump’s desire to be seen as a master of power diplomacy.
What’s more, Trump couldn’t help himself and offered more threats in a truthful social post Wednesday evening, promising to focus on new “wins.”

Although no one in the White House has said outright, “Well, it’s better to talk about Epstein than to act like Hitler” (in part because there are many people in the White House who don’t consider “acting like Hitler” a bad thing), it seems they were desperate enough to change the subject. news producer.
(Trump told an MS Now reporter caught on the phone during the “war meeting” that he had “no prior knowledge,” which in itself seems hard to believe.)
First lady Melania Trump said in a statement called from the White House that she was never friends with pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and threatened what he said.
That Melania then called for congressional hearings where Epstein’s victims could hear from the president and those around him who are working like crazy to prevent that from happening. So, there’s clearly more to this story than meets the eye. And it will be very interesting to get to the bottom of it and see how the media spends the days and weeks ahead trying to refute the same “I know nothing” statement as that of First Lady Sergeant Schultz.
For now, we’re left with the obvious choice of the president and his team to center Epstein’s story, and there’s plenty of evidence that their primary goal was to stop people from thinking about the president’s disastrous decision to attack Iran and his abhorrent performance as commander-in-chief.
Of course, the president was as blindsided by his wife’s words as anyone else, and so we must conclude that the old guy is still not aware of, or in control of, what’s going on in the White House, more than anything else.
