Mrs. Batty Bowers on Melania's speech

If Melania *really* thought people were lying about her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, she would have sued them for defamation to clear her name under oath, not deliver a lame speech full of lies for television.”

This was like 3 or 4 holes ago that they dug themselves into and somehow it was decided to go back, jump back in that hole, and dig some more.

I guess she’s got $28M at least in her pocket from the movie AND knows where all the bodies are buried so she gets to do whatever the hell she wants. I really don’t know.

Putin and Netanyahu, and those two are untouchable. She knows Trump will be dead soon enough, and she is trying to preserve her name for future con artistry. There is nothing Donald can do about it, but she will need to stay away from staircases.

Malaria must have felt left out.. she wanted to DIG the HOLE BIGGER.

And, do some more Gaslighting.. she's knows damn well no one thinks she was a "victim of Epstein".. that's her way of muddying the hole with gaslight.

Melania is generally a prop for Trumps public appearances to keep him from wandering away. The administration simply lost track of this one.

how the lies, the whole stunt, only affirms the truths without her even realizing it.

It's like a just awakened child drifting into the kitchen the next morning and announcing to an unsuspecting mom, "I did not eat up all the brownies last night."

3. I'm at a loss as to why she would think anyone wanted to hear anything she had to say.
