The most plausible explanation for first lady Melania Trump’s out-of-the-blue address on the Jeffrey Epstein drama was that she was trying to make it go away.

But her stunning on-camera statement Thursday from the White House Cross Hall — the spot where her husband last week spoke to the nation about the Iran war — will almost certainly have the opposite effect.

“I am not Epstein’s victim. Epstein did not introduce me to Donald Trump,” she said, in a statement that was all the more remarkable since there had been no widespread public speculation about the matter in recent days.

    No. Do not infantilize her. She is not a damsel in distress, she is an adult with a working brain who had enough time to recognize the incredible, incomparable amount of evil she caused and did. I can’t believe this comment of yours is still a thing. I refuse to believe this attitude is still common in Blue MAGA. Don’t you ever compare or put Melania Trump next to the real victims, what a massive insult to them.
