Melania "Sweet Pea" in affectionate emails with Ghislaine!

Melania Trump exchanged affectionate emails with chief Epstein accomplice

The New York Daily News is reporting on new “gushing” emails from the latest trove of documents from the Epstein files, showing First Lady Melania Trump with an apparently strong relationship with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell (who was convicted for procuring victims for Jeffrey Epstein) two years before Melania married now-President Donald Trump.

“Dear G! How are you?” Melania asked in one email to Maxwell, dated October 2002. “Nice story about JE in NY mag. You look great in the picture.”

“In her email, Melania expressed excitement about visiting Maxwell in Palm Beach and tried to make arrangements to meet up with her as soon as she was back in New York City,” the Daily News reports. “Trump and Epstein owned property in both cities.”

Snip...

The Daily News reports Maxwell responded to her correspondence by calling Melania “Sweet pea,” and sharing that a change in plans would have her back in New York for only a short time.

Perhaps that's why Ivana fell down those spiral staircase. Perhaps she was ready to spill some secrets.

Let's not forget Epstein introduced the felon and Epstein's became the felon's sloppy seconds.

7. spill some secrets? She spent forty-five years spending his money and helping boost his brand, even after divorce

She's got a full half CENTURY of being on his payroll, kissing his ass, and helping mold those monstrous children... which surely says something about her as a person and as a mother. Hell, in 2016 she was calling herself the real first lady and using Trump's status for every benefit she could get out of it. I don't understand why people craft these fantastic narratives for manifestly TERRIBLE people with bad values: Melania, Usha, Tiffany, Ivana, Ivanka. There isn't a princess locked in a tower, there's just a bunch of awful people doing awful things, living in obscene luxury and not giving two shits for anyone but themselves.

The only secrets we got out of her were brief fallout from the divorce wrangling to ensure she would get even MORE money out of him... and even then she backed down and changed her story.

10. Ivana died in 2022

I really do feel sorry for her. Her presence as a witness for cross examination in sundry court cases from civil actions to criminal to high treason would have been historic. Not that we can't get what she saw in other ways, but Ivana's was an infinitely personal relationship with one of the most evil people to ever walk or gimp on earth.

15. Well I don't understand how anyone could marry that awful man

Who knows what really happened to her upon her untimely death.

Again, perhaps she was trying to extort the convicted felon for more hush money. Seeing how he paid big bucks to keep a stormy affair hush hush.

About the nicest thing I can write about Ghislaine Maxwell is that she is well-read. OTOFH, Melania, she has borrowed liberally before.

I was the 4th in line, 3 older brothers, and two younger siblings, one girl, and another boy. I was the first girl after 3 boys, oh, and I was named when my parents got engaged. So I know I was kinda special.
