Here is a take that no one has mentioned, I think?

Could Trump be protecting Melania from the Epstein scandal? Could she be one of those who were trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell?

Or am I way off base with this question?

I wouldn’t put it past Trump to fish out someone like Melania to be his wife back then? Her age fits into that timeline!

Just a notion, no evidence of any sort, but!!!!!!!!

2. He is protecting Melania because she knows all of it.

She was part of Epstein's sex ring.

Trump probably doesn't care one bit if Melania went to prison.
Would save him a lot of money and they hate each other.

But she knows where all the bodies are buried.

7. Correct. Melania did not have a connection to Epstein. It was Casablancas.

Some people seem determined to link Trump to absolutely everyone and everything related to Epstein. Evidence be damned. An awful lot of people here are going to be very disappointed when all the info in the Epstein files comes out and Trump is not implicated at near the level that many have convinced themselves of. Is Trump going to be implicated? YES, I'm pretty sure he will. But many seem to think the files prove he was as bad as Epstein or even worse. Sorry, but that is not going to happen because he wasn't close to the level of Epstein & Maxwell.

9. If or when Trump is directly implicated in more sex abuse, that is not the primary issue with his base...

the issue that is splitting apart his MAGA base is that he seems to be protecting the elite and powerful clients of Epstein & Maxwell, who he had previously promised to expose. Bondi has closed the case, basically saying there's nothing to see here, move along. A majority of the public suspects that there is plenty more to see and pursue in the FBI investigations.

We need to hit this point home in order to divide his support. Simply insinuating that he is a pedophile himself is not going to do it. We need to demonstrate that he really is on the side of the elites, both in this case and everything else regarding his agenda.

4. Trump has no idea of the names, ages, or identity

Of the vast majority of the women he had sex with. But we know it was a lot. He fucking doesn't care now. He thinks he's above the concept of law and order. The whole idea anyone can judge him POs him.

5. No, you're not off base.

There's probably a lot of embarrassing information about Melania's immigration and work status; details about her EB-1 visa (Einstein visa) have never been publicly released.

6. Her age makes her too old for Epstein's operation

Born in 1970; she didn't come to the USA until 1996. 26 is too old for Epstein. Melania was in her 20s before Maxwell's dad died and his fraudulent corporations came crashing down; before then, Ghislaine was a socialite in her own right, with daddy's money.
