I remember it from your book, and also from Mary’s, that Slovenian people who knew her were terrified to say anything about her.
Thinking about that now, I don’t know that Trump would have had the reach to ensure the cone of silence in Ljubljana. Or if he had the reach, I don’t think he would have the will, or the desire to spend money on something like that.
Who would have such a reach? Epstein would have. So would Putin. Remember, when Serious Melania (tm) had that speech about the children of Ukraine, it came out that she had been communicating with Putin personally.
One thing that struck me, although not the point of your piece, was that the evil, perverse men brought her here for their bidding. Then one of those same pigs got her deported!!! Really??? They stole her from her homeland as a minor, then shipped her back when she no longer served their purpose. Why am I not shocked???
Nina, I love your writing, especially on this topic – – the myriad intersecting misogynies of the Trump era which you have covered so brilliantly. The Mar-a-Lago face, the MAGA obsession with submissive trad wives, the commodification of women by the Epstein class. I believe you are expanding this analysis of rampant male supremacism into a book (?🙏) and I can’t wait. I just finished your first fantastic book on the Trump women.
Nina, there’s a blockbuster story here. Please go after it without reservations. Melania is the key to the lock protecting the entire T Rump-Epstein criminal enterprise. She’s the key!!!
Brilliant piece, but the timeline is in error. Ungaro went on her Twitter "rampage," tweeting at both Pam Bondi and at Melania (as in the screenshot you posted above) on April 8, so before, rather than after Melania's Apr 9 statement. To Bondi, she wrote:
“Are you already aware of the situation? Do you fully understand the extent of the information I possess regarding you and the individuals associated with you? I strongly advise you to consider the seriousness of these matters. Any actions taken against me or attempts to escalate this situation could have significant legal consequences..."
Also, following Melania's statement, Ungaro tweeted to her again:
"Melania, do not threaten me again. You have no idea what I know from the past 20 years. I have evidence, including documents and photos. I am not afraid..." (Only one tweet is now posted to her account; either Musk or Ungaro herself deleted the rest on Apr 11)
Her tweet to Pam Bondi was apparently about her deportation and prosecution, and may also refer to the allegations she earlier posted about Zampolli, whom she accused of raping her twice and of raping other women inside their home over the time they were together.
The world, and particularly the United States of America, will NEVER read a better "dissertation" if you will albeit condensed of the "goings on" within the trumps involvement with the Epstein's. I must say tho that it's not as though those of us who think didn't know the extent of Melania nor tRump's involvement w/the Sex Trafficker. Now it's ALL coming out. All the money in the world can't stop the truth. BTW: There is no way that I would ever believe the Criminal in Chief did NOT know about "his wife's" sudden expose to the public. I believe the Enemy he is thought this would cool things down. It did the exact opposite.
Friggin' wow. "Cherchez la femme" has been a cliché since before I was a kid, but I wasn't paying nearly enough attention to the former Melanija Knavs. Carry on!

I look forward to your interview with Amanda.
Exactly that .. my sources there were facing thugs from their side.
Hawaii just banned corporate money from elections. The crooks have taken their eye off the ball…good times are not going to last forever.

I hope Amanda is keeping safe. There are a lot of Bolsonaro toadies down there with not enough to do right now.

Thank you!
she had better reveal what she knows while she still can...
Looks like they spiked the story - that does not bode well for the health and longevity of Ms. Ungaro.
Nina, thank you for your exceptional research and writing. I always look forward to reading your work.

As well as Putin
No doubt Putin has a role as well! Good call.
I agree 1000%. Keep digging, pls, Nina.!

Yes I know that. I only posted the later tweets.

History is unlikely to be kind to this political couple.
What history? They're reviled by the whole world already right now. 😡
Unfortunately, there are still the MAGA faithful. But we outnumber them !
I’ve been waiting for the Mel take down for a long time, finally we are here …🍿🍾🫛
I hope she doesn’t cave
Looks like she did. Or someone got to the paper.
What happened?
Nothing. The article was a complete nothingburger. What happened? Who got to whom?

I'm here for it!!! The First Hooker of the U.S. ( #fHOtus ) is and always has been an absolute disgrace. (No offense to hookers).
Amanda Ungaro - let's hope that:
a. she's fully vaccinated,
b. crosses streets only when the lights are green,
c. has a Putin-grade food taster,
d. sleeps with a Geiger counter with a polonium alarm,
e. has her interview somewhere very secret and too deep for a US bunker-buster bomb to reach, and
f. can stay alive long enough to pass a lie detector test or ten, not that Maga voters would believe her or care.
Friggin' wow. "Cherchez la femme" has been a cliché since before I was a kid, but I wasn't paying nearly enough attention to the former Melanija Knavs. Carry on!
Thank you so much for staying on this. Your work just keeps getting better. Looking forward to what you've got for us next. Cheers!
