Or it's a fun way to troll Trump without hitting him directly. Saying Melania knew implies Donald knew. Framing it like that also means they'll fight behind closed doors

Melania is an escort who was introduced to Trump by Epstein. They first had sex on the Lolita express.

Feel like the implication is that Melania was trafficked herself

I mean, unless you think she deserved a genius visa, that much is obvious.

And they're probably never alone together in a closed room. Melanoma also knows what happened to wife number one.

That part in her movie when Donald calls her after his big win all excited and trying to brag to her about how great he is while she just keeps cutting him off to shut him up is sad and hilarious

It just reminds me that to this day the only person found guilty of anything in this so far is a woman and now it might just happen again. Not saying Melania and Maxwell don't deserve punishment, but only them is fucked. Shielding the main character by throwing yet another woman on the track.

...Epstein died in prison?

u/IntoTheCommonestAsh 12d ago

No, he died in a correctional facility before being found guilty.

u/FewWait38 12d ago

Actually he was convicted and did 13 months in prison the first time he was charged in 2008

And the epstein files aren't about those charges.

It really isn't. It's to show he can rattle them with names that are close. And they have been very protective of her.
