Thoughts after Malaria...um, I mean Melania's weird presser.....

When all this is over, and it will end eventually - possibly sooner than we think, Melania and her entire family must be charged with immigration fraud, heavily fined, and deported. Einstein visa. Really? I didn't think that covered pole dancers and escorts.

And while we're at it, fuck you too, Baron. Anchor babies aren't what they use to be.

Reasons behind the bizarre presser? Probably already covered, but it seems a Brazilian named Amanda Ungaro isn't real happy after being deported in 2025, has very deep contacts with Epstein, Maxwell and Melania, and is spilling beans all over the place, with more to come.

That's how these things sometimes end. Someone, somewhere, perhaps obscure, does something really stupid, like in this case deporting someone deep in the Epstein orbit over a custody battle, thus giving the deportee a serious ax to grind. And the whole rotten edifice begins to unravel. Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell. Reading between the lines, it seems Ungaro does have a "dead woman" switch same as Maxwell. This could be fun.

Is involved with this.


If Zampolli wasn't in the Trump administration, I don't think she would have given this presser. She would have just blown it off as a businessman they knew, who also knew Epstein. But now he's serving in the Trump admin and he has more than casual connections to Epstein. And Zampolli brought Melania to the US.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paolo_Zampolli
On a scouting trip to Milan for Metropolitan in 1995, Zampolli met the model Melania Knauss. In 1996, Zampolli sponsored her immigration to the United States via a H-1B visa. By then, he had founded his own modeling agency, ID Model Management. Knauss moved into Zampolli's building at Zeckendorf Towers, and Zampolli introduced her to Trump at a September 1998 party.[6][7]

Relationship with Jeffrey Epstein
Zampolli's social circle overlapped with that of Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein patronized Zampolli's ID Model Management, and was a partner in Zampolli's 2004 bid to purchase Elite Model Management.[31] His name appears several times in the Epstein files; in one 2011 email, Epstein warned an Emirati businessman that "zampoli [sic] is trouble".[26] Zampolli was named as one of four partners in Ghislaine Maxwell's charity, the TerraMar Project, in 2013.[32]

Trump was sure stupid to bring Zampolli in!!! I think he'll deny knowing him and he will be shown the door...
