https://www.thedailybeast.com/fuming-melania-puts-trump-aides-at-risk-of-ouster-michael-wolff/Furious that Donald Trumps Minneapolis fiasco was upstaging her film, Melania Trump forced her husband to overhaul his deportation campaign, author Michael Wolff claims.
This was supposed to be the Melania week, Wolff told his co-host Joanna Coles on the Inside Trumps Head podcast.
But on Saturday, as the 55-year-old first lady prepared to host a screening of her documentary, Melania, federal immigration agents killed 37-year-old ICU nurse Alex Pretti.
According to Wolff, a truly p---ed-off Melania bristled as outrage over Trumps deportation operation swallowed the spotlight meant for her $75 million film ahead of its premiere at the Kennedy Center on Thursday.

(129,577 posts)Malaria might be one of the most boring people ever to have walked the earth. There is nothing exciting, praiseworthy or admirable about her. She's a void, an empty space for implants and haute couture. Since she doesn't actually do anything she's not even evil enough to be interesting.

ecstatic
(35,026 posts)if she thinks anyone gives a shit about her "pay for play" funded movie. You couldn't pay me to watch that shit! In fact, I should be boycotting Amazon.
The irony is rich as well.
Here she is... a freaking IMMIGRANT (who I'm told came here illegally before snagging a criminal almost twice her age)... SILENT in the face of this bullshit that's being unleashed across this country. People are literally being detained just for having brown skin and /or an accent and she thinks we want to watch her movie?
FUCK OFF! Go back to Slovenia or wherever the fuck you came from! Take your disgusting husband with you!

(130,161 posts)she was to be deported. No explanation has ever been given as to the "significant achievements" that supposedly warranted it. You also forgot to mention the "chain migration" (her parents), and her "anchor baby", barron.

(215 posts)and everything else, we can still ask the question:
What was Melania's role with Epstein and Maxwell? What did she do with them at the height of their criminality and perversions? And why does that seem to be a universally forbidden question?

(65,888 posts)I'm sure it helps his podcast, though.
She got her money, she probably doesn't care. And frankly, the types of people that would surround Melania with attention and laud her with praise about her movie, could give zero fucks about anything happening in MN and probably think Pretti was a domestic terrorist. They're all trash.
But again, that would be speculation on my part too. Except the trash part.

(8 posts)The article wont even claim that Wolff says that he heard it from someone, which would be gossippy enough.
Miles Archer
(22,085 posts)I know Wolff is neither fully credible or popular on DU. So I made it clear that the "theory" came from him, that it was speculation on his part. but...
...the premise is SO IN KEEPING with WHO and WHAT she is that is seemed 100% reasonable to me. If it were some kind of tin foil hat conspiracy theory I wouldn't have posted it.
WHAT DO WE ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT HER, strictly based on her words and actions?
1). She's moody / bipolar (all of those videos of her with Trump and Ivanka, big wide smile, and the second they turn their back on her it goes to a "WHO FARTED" grimace
2). She's entitled, high on her own supply. When the MAGAts call her "our Jackie Kennedy," I'm sure she believes them
3). She got a foul mouth. "Are you fucking kidding me? KIDS? CHRISTMAS?"
4). She hates kids and Christmas (see above) and sells $150 Christmas ornaments on her website after ranting about fuck Christmas
5). She's the poster child for passive-aggressive behavior...the "I don't care do U" jacket she wore to go inspect kids in cages in Texas
So I get the fact that Wolff is Wolff, and if he got to the point where DU completely rejected the practice of posting his words here, I'd honor that.
I don't think what he said meets the criteria for "that's just his opinion."
It sounds too much like the actual behavior of the Slovenian sex industry worker.

(8 posts)If we were to impute words to people based on the fact that it just feels like they couldve said something like that, I would have a news outlet claiming that people said this or that, just because it sounds like them.
This is gossip.
Miles Archer
(22,085 posts)I've done all of the "explaining" I intend to do, and if the result is that I get attacked for it, all I can say is "HAVE A NICE DAY."
Just do us both a favor, and when you see my posts, keep scrolling.

no_hypocrisy
(54,487 posts)While this claim can't be proved without recording of Wolff saying this or Wolff going around the media repeating it, I find it credible.
Melania's former BFF, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff wrote a book about her relationship and her times with Melania Trump. https://www.amazon.com/Melania-Me-Rise-Friendship-First/dp/1982151242
In this book, she details how dismissive Melania was about certain events, certain people, certain anything.
When Melania wore that coat that said "I don't care, do you?", it might as well been a tattoo on her arm. It's who she is.
