Where’s Melania? What’s Tiffany say about all of this? What is Jared doing? Do we know?

Don Junior has been speaking out against “censorship”, how terribly unfair it is that all the social media platforms are blocking him and daddy.

I’m sure one of them, I can’t recall which pretended to have this as a goal, is working feverishly to achieve peace in the midle east. Clock is ticking.

Melania just came out with an official statement condemning the violence, but also, in true trump family tradition, making it about her:

> …I find it shameful that surrounding these tragic events there has been salacious gossip, unwarranted personal attacks, and false misleading accusations on me – from people who are looking to be relevant and have an agenda…

Ah, the sacrifices involved in becoming rich and powerful by whatever means necessary…

_“I really don’t care, do U?”_ – remember that? Why start now?

Thing is, for 5 years I have tried my best to not do mean takes on Melania. Back in '15/'16 I might have snarked about the “salacious gossip” when it first showed up but I have really tried to not go there. Heck, I was among those who’d been able to buy into that Mel found herself in a ride that was not what she bought the ticket for – that she had signed up for a fancy gig as Trophy Wife and suddenly now was in the political dogpit.

But goodness gracious it has been obvious for a while that she herself _does_ consciously embrace the whole _“everyone is so unfair to us”_ bullshit.
