Melania's Speech ...

 

So ... the question on everyone's minds is, "Why?"

Because her husband, the President of the United States, has been very clear about wanting to move on from Epstein.

The DOJ and others have refused to even talk to the victims. 

In fact, some people - including Iranians - have speculated that the whole Iran thing was nothing more than a distraction from it.

Then suddenly Melania turns our attention BACK on it, actually giving a speech on what she did and did not know about Epstein and calls for the victims to be heard?

Hmm, very strange.

She mentions lies about her circulating, but I really haven't seen any about her, other than pictures at parties. Oh, and the "first time she and Donald had sex was on Epstein's plane" thing.

But those rumors have been out for a while -  so I disagree with the social media theory that she just got tired of the rumors about herself or "suddenly saw them." 

That wouldn't be enough to draw our attention back to this, despite her husband's wishes, would it?

Now, her husband has been that impulsive when viewing things about himself, but I don't believe she ever has?

Actually MY first thought was "Okay, what bombshell is about to drop that she's launching a pre-emptive  PR strike?"

Maybe not, but this IS very clearly distancing herself from her husband and his current stance on the whole Epstein thing.

In fact, whether what she's saying is 100% true or not, dare I say it's almost like she's showing her husband how to do this, like "Look, if you're truly not guilty, then this is how you do this -  you address it head on and call for the victims to be heard - so why aren't you?" - which if that's really the case, then I applaud her.

In fact, you can't help but admire the way she did that - especially when apparently, Trump had no idea.

However, I can't help but wonder the motivation, because she's never done this before despite rumors for years - so until we know that, I'll hold my applause. 😉

Also, an angle no one else has mentioned, (at least that I've seen) is, I know that Melania takes her Catholic faith very seriously, it was just Easter, and Pope Leo has made some very pointed statements about the war - especially regarding Trump's threat about "an entire civilization will die tonight" genocidal maniac speech. 

So did the Pope's rebuke of Trump that have anything to do with this?

Eh, it's more likely what I said earlier, a pre-emptive strike before a bombshell comes out, but it in fact could be multifactorial.

We shall see ...
