A clear line has been drawn with the release of Trumps legal memo. Make no mistake, it is a direct attack on the rule of law and a declaration of absolute power on the part of the President. It’s thesis must be attacked relentlessly. The American Republic is worth fighting for.
So this thing about Melania not being seen for a month…I know it’s funny to joke about but honestly, in what universe could a leader’s wife be absent for so long without explanation or given reason?
Like, if this happened with literally any other leader in the world, we’d be reporting about it like “uhhhh something’s wrong.” And here, we have a known domestic abuser who has cheated on his wife multiple times, pretending she’s standing a windows where she’s not.
And part of this whole thing is that I’m also gaslighting myself a bit because it’s like “Talking about this as a serious thing just sounds insane. Trump couldn’t seriously hurt her and get away with it without notice. Like, he’s not THAT much of a dumbass.
But also: if she’s fine, why haven’t we heard from her? Why hasn’t there been anything but a tweet sent from her account that multiple people have access to? Like, if this isn’t a big deal, why hasn’t she been seen?
So it’s just…bizarre. BIZARRE.
