> [@Fiveyearlurker](#): > > This is getting weird. There is roughly zero chance she wrote this. Yes. And it’s just been in the news that those staffers who tweet for Trump make sure to imitate his style. Whoever posted the “Melania” tweet: > [@](#): > > I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people! …seems to have gone out of their way to refrain from making it sound even remotely like something Melania would actually post. I get that Trump is desperate for anything that will distract the public from all the news about Russian contacts with his relatives and associates, and all the cash he’s raking in from deals with other nations, etc. But how far would he go to acquire such a distraction? Would he belt his wife with such force that she’d go into a coma? Would he say or do something that would lead her to go into hiding (such as _'boy I’d sure get a lot of sympathy if you were killed by ‘terrorists,’ Melanie!_') or… what? ---
