    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.

          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
