    Ah, shit, I wasted minutes of my life reading the comments before I realized this was from Alex fucking Jones.

    Just so fucking bizarre that she holds a completely unprompted press conference just to announce this. Clearly getting out ahead of…something. But what?

      It’s Jones. He says crazy shit. He’s probably referring to how she’s indicating we should listen to the victims and drumming that up to a wilder situation

        Yeah, I’m not really commenting on Jones or what he said. The press conference actually happened, and it’s absolutely bizarre for her to just randomly come out and say this. No one asked, and yet she still felt compelled to have this conference.

          oh. sorry, my mistake. I guess Bill Gates is being examined about it soon right? maybe they’re preempting something?

    Most of the article is just quotes from Jones about Melania…

    But he did manage to realize the obvious:

    The only reason she would do this, is she thinks trump is fucked and she’s trying to save herself and Barron

      Robert Reich had some theories, including:

      1. Melania is pissed off at Trump for any number of things, and today’s news conference was a way of letting him know she’s capable of making his life miserable.

        Nah, she’s put up with the worst shit imaginable for decades, because she’s also a piece of shit.

        She’s not a victim, she’s not throwing a tantrum. She’s an evil piece of shit who only cares about her self and maybe her son.

        She’s trump’s version of Ghislene Maxwell, and she’s trying the same playbook.

        If/when it gets bad enough, I fully expect her to testify against trump to save herself.

          I don’t think the suggestion is that she’s a victim. Just that what we’re seeing is the fallout of a power struggle from behind the curtain.

          This Threads post tells a theory / story that’s worthy of a soap opera. Spoiler: Everything comes back to Epstein, as it always seems to.

            I don’t think the suggestion is that she’s a victim

            That’s how she’ll spin it, because there is undeniable connections.

            Not just that she was herself trafficked to start with, but that she went on to recruit and traffic others herself

            Her only exit path is try to play the victim.

            It’s not a “power struggle” where people are trying to gain control of the ship, the ship is burning and the rats are trying to find any way off.

            Most of the people involved will just be trying to get away very soon. Like not just resigning and distancing themselves from trump, I think within 9 months a lot of them will legit dip the fuck out of the country and get somewhere they can’t be extradited from.

            Especially Melenia and she’ll take Barron with her.

            If anything that link just backs that up more

    “It looks to me like she’s breaking with Trump because she knows the ship is sinking, has found out the truth,” he said.

    “It looks to me…” like I can get some news cycle time if I make spurious statements about this with zero evidence.

      Renowned vitamin supplement salesmen Alex Jones saying something without evidence? He would never, good sir!!! That’s like saying he would insist that the sandy hook massacre was a false flag operation or some other moronic bullshit to line his pockets with money!!! Never, I cannot believe it.

      And on another note - next time you see a sentence start with “Alex jones says” downvote and move on - same with any article from newswewk Jesus fucking Christ people.

    Given how bad that fat-headed clown is at analyzing information, Alex Jones’ claim is the biggest evidence you need that she is NOT breaking up with Trump.

    I mean, she met Trump through Epstein, she posed nude, and eventually worked for Trump’s modeling “agency” (which, afaict, existed mostly so he could poach women from his beauty contests and move them around to where he wanted them). I’m not sure how much to believe her when she says she didn’t have a relationship with Epstein.

    Is Trump going to be the first president to divorce while in office? Maybe someone should tell him no other president did that.
