Nicole Wallace is leading with the story about Melania's appearance today

[Pesky1]

Utterly bizarre claims given out of the blue.

What's up?

[Ocelot II]

1. I don't think she's ever been credibly accused of any significant involvement with Epstein.

Why did she say those things? And how is it that she's lived in the US for some 30 years and still has such a thick accent? It looked like she was reading English words that she didn't know quite how to pronounce. But thanks, Malaria, for reminding the media about the Epstein files.

[hlthe2b]

3. Yeah... That accent after all these years that has not only not softened but is sometimes more

present, is likewise curious (and irritating, given how MAGA refers to other immigrants whom they perceive have not assimilated)

[Rebl2]

22. I have

met or heard people people that have never quite lost their thick accent. They are usually older people though.

[hlthe2b]

32. Sure... But remaining in their own communities/families is one thing. She's the FIRST LADY

(much to my dismay) And even if she thought it unimportant prior, she has had from 2016 to now to consider softening it just a bit. When she tried to read to a group of children, it was beyond cringeworthy. Here, she at least practiced her speech/teleprompter, so it was far better.

[displacedvermoter]

8. It's those six languages she is supposed to

be fluent in, they get tangled up in her brain and the words come out funny.

[Rebl2]

19. I am

supposed to believe she knows multiple languages?

[displacedvermoter]

24. Slovenian, Serbian, French, Italian, German

and a bizarre sort of English. I saw a video of her once attempting to speak to some Italian school kids one Christmas, kids couldn't understand what she was trying to say, hilarious!

[moonscape]

13. Maybe she doesn't speak much.

I’m serious. I doubt she and he have actual conversations. Doubt she has actual friends. She speaks Slovene with her parents. Barron likely doesn’t speak a lot (does he speak Slovene also?). And she and the doorman likely do things other than speaking.

[Cha]

15. Really! What's Up With All Of

That!

The 1st "lady" of the US... needing to make a special announcement that she's not connected in any meaningful way to a convicted child molester.

[obamanut2012]

20. Because it's been around for years she dated Epstein and then Epstein "gave" her to Trump

Let alone being friends with Maxwell.

Something is gonna come out, probably from her ex-model friend whose husband got ICE to deport her so he could win custody of his son during a divorce.

Mark my words!

[wnylib]

30. Could it be this?

Sky News exposes absolute panic inside the White House. An expert correspondent reveals the Trump administration is terr - Democratic Underground Forums https://share.google/ExjLrWU80t8qY7C0u

[hlthe2b]

2. The ULTIMATE change the subject tactic?

hmmm.

[WiVoter]

4. Distraction of The Distraction

[Cha]

16. Full Circle!

[BlueKota]

6. Read some speculation on social media sites

That they bet some media outlet or newspaper is about to break a major story on her involvement with Epstein, and she's trying to get out ahead of it, by proclaiming her "supposed innocence. "

[Cha]

17. Otherwise Why Bring It UP?

The Stupid Bombing of Iran was all the Rage. Taking Epstein Files off the Radar.. until now.

[Srkdqltr]

25. Exactly, why bring it up.

[sop]

26. Things have gotten so bad in Iran, they're now using Epstein to distract from Trump's disastrous war.

[AfternoonJoe]

5. Polling

It came out today that her polling is at an all time low for a First Lady and this looks like a kneejerk reaction to that (sounds familiar huh?)

[Pesky1]

7. Yikes!!!

She's going even further. The survivors should be heard. Other's were involved that have not been identified.

She's putting the story back on the front page.

[BlueKota]

9. Maybe her way of throwing tsf under the bus?

She might be tired of pretending to be a loving wife to tsf, and not interested in playing "first lady," role.

[struggle4progress]

10. There must be some reason she's doing this. I wonder what's in the files about her

[badhair77]

11. I'm not buying talk of her vast language skills.

Several weeks ago on tv there was a profile of Jacqueline Kennedy’s life. There were clips of her speaking Spanish and Italian in NY on the campaign trail and speaking French while visiting France. Only on the radio ads was she reading. Otherwise she was speaking and conversing. No cheating with a paper in front of her. I have no idea if she had a heavy accent but the responses were very positive and welcome. If Melania were that conversant she’d be out there showing off her talents.

[mercuryblues]

12. She is showing off her talents

It's just not speaking English.

[malaise]

29. Remember her fake college credentials?

[Vinca]

14. She just reported on another story breaking in the NYT. The king is using foreign steel in his ballroom.

Truly amazing given the pandering to Pennsylvania steelworkers for their votes.

[Srkdqltr]

18. Something else is going to break soon. Thats the feeling I got.

I have always wondered how involved she was. Maybe she is about to be outed for something.

[obamanut2012]

23. I think I know what it is

Something is gonna come out, probably from her ex-model friend whose husband got ICE to deport her so he could win custody of his son during a divorce.

Mark my words!

[underpants]

28. I feel it too.

She has $28M in her pocket from the movie.
Trump screwed up astronomically
She comes out with this today?

[Bengus81]

21. Walls closing in..........

[Goonch]

27. ;-{) DENIAL

[Srkdqltr]

31. I have to say, reading all the posts here, how many are focused on her accent. What's?up with that

Amazing how folks can zero in on the least important things.
