Melania doth protest too much
The Melania Trump Epstein rumours weren’t exactly front-page — until she made them front-page. There’s a particular kind of political instinct that turns whispers into headlines, and this might be the cleanest example of it yet.
What on Earth is Melania Trump thinking?
You’ve probably heard of the Barbra Streisand effect: the phenomenon where attempts to censor information end up drawing more attention to it.
Now we might soon be referencing the Melania Trump effect: the phenomenon where holding a surprise press conference to state that you did not have a relationship with a dead paedophile, and would like people to please stop speculating about the matter, immediately causes people to start speculating about the matter.
When denial becomes the story
On Thursday, for reasons that nobody can quite understand, the first lady decided to tell the world to ignore all the rumours circulating about her connections to Jeffrey Epstein because she “never had a relationship” with the late sex offender or his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. Yes, she’d met Epstein, but she barely knew him. Yes, there are photos of Epstein, Maxwell and the Trumps together, but those aren’t a big deal.
The Guardian
The rumours circulating are that a large investigative piece is about to drop and that is the reason she is desperately trying to get ahead of the story…
What are they trying to get ahead of?
…I think there is an enormous amount of evidence to suggest Epstein was a CIA/Mossad asset who honey trapped powerful men and filmed them having sex with underage girls to entrap them.
The Epstein Class will do anything to hide the level of their depravity and the Intelligence agencies themselves will do everything to hide their involvement.
Melania doth protest too much.
Pictures tell a thousand words. Melania and Donald pictured happily with Epstein and Maxwell.
GUILTY!
Melania….” We didn’t get any messages, and Captain Blackadder definitely did not shoot this delicious plump breasted pigeon”
