    She is the most ignorant first lady in a long time. No grace, no empathy no purpose.

    She also said Epstein didn't do this on his own as all the Republicans involved in this coverup have claimed. Maybe she's heading for cover as the Artemis II exposed where Bondi et al hid the files:

This was planned by Trump. Iran is going so badly for him that he's bringing the Epstein files back as a diversion.

She's great to have as First Lady and good for her.

This woman is likely the least relevant first lady in a century or more. She is involved in very few causes and what she says and does means very little to the vast majority of Americans. I would guess that most Americans consider her to be a major lightweight, and the majority of American woman likely disrespect her dramatically for her choice of a husband alone. Many must ask themselves how on earth could somebody be with a rather sickening pig like that?


Wheres your sources for those claims ? They're required by the forum rules.

This statement only makes people ask more questions as well raises suspicions. Specially as Trump still is not opening up while it seems more and more clear that he is being blackmailed, or at very least, israel then heavily works against him while pretending to be friends.

Same he moved maxwell to the lowest security prison with most freedoms, to then never hear from it again. Unacceptable. She even has a sat company with email from Epstein era, still up and running. Why would someone spend over six figures a year just to maintain that, if she claims to not be in it or out long time.

Her being alive and in low security prison is essentially like Epstein being a hydra and her being one of the new heads. To not even start about the mysterious girlfriend that received tons of money, after his death.

Did you know Epstein dad and Maxwell dad both died within a year of each other, both in suspicious conditions? You guys from the older generations must feel fked, you have lived in these lies virtually your entire life.

Much more effective than a Madame Macron-styie "push" to the face, eh?

Good luck with your appeal. I did provide some evidence about how she was regarded in an earlier post. Here it is again:

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/live/2026/apr/10/donald-trump-melania-jeffrey-epstein-iran-inflation-latest-news-updates

Still, I too was shocked by her low ratings. She projects such an air of warmth and of genuinely caring for citizens of her adopted nation. Almost every day, she's out there working hard for the betterment of Americans. Like when she launched her Melania meme coin which was in no way a sleazy attempt to capitalize on her status:

@Slowhand225 if you don’t want replies then don’t post, stop trying to censor opinions you don’t like. It is not stalking to reply to another poster’s opinion.

You are absolutely incorrect, forum rules do not require us to provide a source for our own personal opinions, and most posts on here are based on personal opinions, that's what these dialogues are all about.

Get with the program please. Or prove to us otherwise, show us why and how this lightweight first lady is relevant on any level. She is not.

As this meme suggests, this probably wasn't the way Trump would have wanted attention to be diverted from the Iran war.

She's also deeply weird. Who was even interested in her relationship to Epstein? Why would she call attention to Epstein at this juncture? Trump didn't even know that she planned to do this. Spending too much time in the spa? Maybe she suffers from scandal envy?

Trump, dimwit that he is, is on record quite a few times as saying that Melania came from Austria, so he doesn't even know what nationality she is, so is it any wonder that he knows nothing of what's going on around the world due to his stuff-ups and TACO "diplomacy".

both of them never do anything without a "good" reason, he got "his" war with Iran to divert and HER out of nowhere decided to make a statement, why did she do it???? now we start to know "some" of the truth behind her actions and BTW she was illegally in the USA while being a special "model" however ICE never investigated her status... this is a very interesting story showing the corruption in the US government system

The posts were direct replies to Melania's archived First Lady account. They were personal, combative, and specific. Ungaro claimed a relationship with the First Lady spanning two decades. She referenced being detained by ICE. She threatened legal action

Amanda Ungaro Arrived in the U.S. on Jeffrey Epstein's Plane at 17 — Now She's Going After Melania Trump From Brazil

https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/amanda-ungaro-arrived-u-jeffrey-190403529.html

she open the pandora's box and she will regret it as she may be called/summoned to testify... how can she be claiming that she didn't know Epstein with so much evidence showing the contrary, so many photos of them together, witnesses, emails and so forth

And, you know, he actually was the one who propelled Melania’s modeling career. She went from doing like kind of, in my opinion, soft core nude, porn-ish, porny type stuff like the Max photo, you know, photography that we saw in the French magazines to really like taking off in a big way through Anton Verglas.

I doubt she would be calling for them to testify if she was implicated.

Trump and Melania may take down a bunch of other important people, but I doubt they are going down.

Melania is like Madame Yes in the Flintstones. She's too important to be captured.

Melania Trump's Oct. 23, 2002, email read as follows:

Dear G!

How are you?

Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great on the picture.

I know you are very busy flying all over the world. How was Palm Beach? I cannot wait to go down. Give me a call when you are back in NY.

Have a great time!

Love,

Melania

Although Melania Trump referred to the email as a reply in her statement, it did not appear to follow another message in an email chain or have other obvious indicators of being a reply, such as "Re:" in the subject line.

In a response dated the same day, Maxwell wrote:

Sweet pea - thanks for your message. Actually plans changed again and I am now on my way back to NY. I leave again on Fri so I still do not think I have time to see you sadly. I will try and call though.

Keep well

Gx

Melania is lying... again. They met again (verified) less than three weeks after that email. It was Melania doing the chasing. Mr Clinton is also in the mix.

Robert Maxwell died in November 1991, fell off a boat and drowned, off the Canaries.

Seymour Epstein, at the time residing in Palm Beach Florida, died in December 1991, in Cleveland Ohio, in an accident.

Melania complaining about lies... 😃

They have been in a tiff for years now, you can tell by the body language that she despises him and does not respect him one iota, but she sure loves the power and she definitely loves the cash.

There are many reasons why she lives in New York and is rarely ever seen in Washington. And there's also many reasons why you really ever see them touching each other.

I guess he neglected to tell her about Epstein and Maxwell 'stealing' Virginia Guiffre from Mar a Lago in 2000. You know...the reason why he claimed to have banned Mr Epstein seven years later, in 2007.

Surely they wouldn't have stayed on friendly terms if it were really a problem?

https://xcancel.com/Acyn/status/1950256617301430443

But if he were angry over a property deal in 2004 and decided to shop Epstein, gathering information via Ms Guiffre....

I've been doing "research" and got Gemini to tidy it all up. Melania is running scared along term freind may have smoking emails / messages and El Pais lawyers will be crawling all over them and it is the no 1 newspaper in Sapin so they have the resources, They have no dobt asked Melania for comments before they publish Ungaro is spitting fire on X at her treatment and says she wants to take them all doen. Fingers crossed.

Melania Trump: "Fixer" Allegations Surface in Upcoming Brazilian Exposé

The "Epstein Signal" has returned with a vengeance this weekend, as a major interview with Brazilian model Amanda Ungaro is set to drop in El País. The fallout could be the most significant challenge to the First Lady’s reputation since the 2024 election cycle.

The "Inside Track" on the Allegations:

  • The "Lower-Level Maxwell" Claim: Ungaro, a former long-term partner of Trump’s "Ambassador-at-Large" Paolo Zampolli, is reportedly set to testify that Melania functioned as a "Social Gatekeeper" within the modeling-political pipeline of the 90s and 2000s—allegedly vetting and managing access for high-net-worth individuals.

  • The "Sweet Pea" Emails: This follows the unearthing of 2002 email exchanges between Melania and Ghislaine Maxwell. While Melania dismissed them yesterday as "trivial," the "Love, Melania" and "Sweet Pea" sign-offs suggest a level of familiarity that contradicts her "hardly knew them" defense.

  • The ICE Scandal: Ungaro claims she was "targeted" for deportation to Brazil in 2025 via Zampolli’s high-level administration contacts to neutralize her during a bitter custody battle.

The White House "Pre-emptive Strike":

In a rare move on Friday (April 10), Melania Trump took to the podium to issue a categorical denial of all Epstein links, calling for Congressional hearings where victims can testify. Some analysts see this as a "Double Bluff" to get ahead of the Ungaro interview, while others view it as a total "System Breach" in her public defense.

Why It Matters Now:

While the "Hardware" of the Trump administration is currently focused on the Iran crisis, the "Amanda Ungaro Signal" is the first time an insider from the Zampolli/Trump/Epstein "inner loop" has threatened to go on the record under oath.


When the fixers start talking, the structure starts shaking.

  • Is Melania’s call for a Congressional hearing a brilliant legal move or a desperate one?

  • Does the Ungaro deportation story suggest a "weaponization" of ICE for personal vendettas?

  • How much longer can the "independent meeting" narrative survive these old modeling-pipeline leaks?

I think it's right around this time Trump begins to re-think his vendetta against Spain...

This is her in Brazil whilst doing the interview apparently - quite a looker. So inner confidant of long standing and close friend of inner loop Epstein/Trump/Maxwell/Melania probably with weapons grade evidence with a major lawyered story coming out from El Pais and Melania doing a suprise ad-hoc press oncfrecne out of the blue. El Pais was part of the consortium that handled Snowden /Wikileaks so they have the authority,resources and maybe new evidence that isn't in the Epstein files.El País has a decade-long history of handling "Sensitive State Secrets" and whistleblowers. They aren't a tabloid; they are "Heavy Hardware."Just as they did with WikiLeaks and Snowden, they have the legal muscle to protect their sources. If they are the ones handling Ungaro’s "Smoking Emails," they will have verified the Metadata and the Digital Fingerprints before they print a single word.

Melania Trump tried to sweep the Epstein saga away, but she ended up reviving it

David Bowie sang about putting out the fire with gasoline. Maybe she's a Bowie fan?

The fact that Melania hasn't seemingly gone to court to try and stop the publication is telling. They are suing Michael Wolff for $1 billion over similar "revelations" .El País wouldn't bother with a rehash of old stories that are alredy out there. The verification cost for a story involving a sitting First Lady, their legal team would have spent weeks vetting Amanda Ungaro. If she only had "stories," they would have passed. They are likely sitting on documentary evidence emails, photos, or travel log that haven't been seen in the US media. Ungaro claims she was close to Melania's parents, Viktor and Amalija Knavs, for 20 years. If she has private correspondence or recordings from within the "Inner Family Circle," that is a massive upgrade from the usual "I saw her at a party" gossip.

At first glance and given Melania getting out there now I would say some bombshells are about to explode.

maybe this will help you understand the all relationship between the parties involved, if she didn't know them why they spend Xmas and Bdays together, feel free to read and look at all the photos, that should do it

For a while, Ungaro and her then-boyfriend, businessman Paolo Zampolli, were close to Trump and Melania, regularly dining with them at the president’s Palm Beach resort.

From posing with the first couple and dining with them at Mar-a-Lago in Trump’s first administration, Ungaro claims she was deported back to Brazil by the president’s ICE agents last year after he came back to power a second time.

probably most people who associated with epstein are not guilty of anything.

he infiltrated elite circles, but they were actually leading normal lives, going to galas, normal stuff elites do. only a small subset was involved in the criminal stuff.

if he didn't lead a mostly normal life, everyone would be too suspicious of him. So I'm guessing 90% of the time he was just going to normal parties, business meetings, whatever.

Not everyone is bent and has criminal proclivities. He probably had to sniff those people out over an extended time and lure them somehow, but without all the other people catching on.

I'm guessing anyway ...

now everyone is afraid of being found guilty by association and regrets mingling with him ... but doesn't mean they're guilty. they might just be afraid of being smeared.

And with regard to her husband, "friends" mean they're non-existent.
