Trump IN SHAMBLES As Melania Consequences Unveiled With Trial Revelations #TDR

Trump says he wants to testify and you have said Melania would pressure him to take the stand. Do you think she is playing a role in his decision? Would she be an advisor in this situation? You know, I think behind closed doors, as husband and wife, she would probably say, she looks, if you have nothing to hide, she takes the stand. And it could be for that reason. But of course there are considerations beyond whether she has something to hide. In this case, there are real

consequences

if he potentially testifies. And let's get into that a little bit more.

And you know, but I know this is just his bragging. And like your reporter said before, he's said this so many times that he'll get on the stand and then come out and say, oh, my lawyers told me I couldn't, so I couldn't come out and do it, which is really funny because he doesn't listen to anyone. . He doesn't listen to his lawyers, he doesn't listen to anyone. Then it will be his choice. Absolutely. But I think he knows that if he takes that stance, it will cause him a lot of problems. And I think that's probably the case.

And that is why, although this is one of the objectively less important

consequences

arising from the hush money

trial

, which we are in now, it was not delayed. It is improving. Trump has to worry about how his base will interpret this. He will have to worry about how independents will interpret this, how it might affect different states' results differently. With abortion being such a big issue in this election, how will it potentially play into this? The fact that he is very concerned about what women think of him. But at the same time, behind all of that is a woman and how this will potentially affect that relationship for now.

So we get a little sneak peek from Stephanie Grisham on how this has worked for her in the past. He listens to this. You were there. You were present when all these Stormy Daniels accusations, the fallout, the furor over all of this, what was that like inside the White House? I mean, what was everyone's behavior? - How worried were you about this? - Oh, everyone was very worried. You know, internally the people who were in the west wing were nervous about what we would be doing in the east wing. Melania often made statements that, you know, weren't what the West Wing would want us to say about a number of different things.

And I remember one time the former president called me from Air Force One basically to see how angry I was and to see if we were making any statements because, you know, we never checked with the West Wing if we were going to say anything. So I was definitely worried. The West Wing was constantly communicating with me. What is happening? What is happening? You know, I never shared with them, you know, their thoughts on it because it was personal. Private conversations between the two of us when I said we weren't going to the State of the Union or she was just going to meet him on Air Force One.

I just stopped there. And I think everyone in the West Wing knew not to push him any further or ask him to do more than that. I think that's amazing. You know, keep in mind that she was with Melanie at the time, leaving aside the political stuff and even leaving aside my hatred for Donald Trump. It's like something very humanizing and strange that he calls, not the other people about him. How angry were you when the details first came out, how angry are you? And look, there are accusations. So we're supposed to pretend it didn't happen even though, you know, it clearly did.

He just wonders how much trouble he's in. And now, you know, he's in front of the cameras right now and he says that he feels very honored to be there. He feels honored that this exists and that he is still fighting for. Whatever. And I wonder if he's thinking about that. How angry is she now? Hey, I'm glad she's here.

There are so many levels of all this brewing at the same time, Francesca.

And on a human level, I find it fascinating. What do you think? I mean, I think she probably wants him to testify because she doesn't want to go back to the East Wing of the White House or wherever it is, like she doesn't want him to be president again. I don't think she wanted to be president and first lady in the first place. I mean, she doesn't even like Christmas. Who cares about her? But she says, yeah, yeah, she go hang you. She go choke you with all your word salad. If you're wrong when the prosecution shows you a photo of your ex-wife, you have to say, yes.

That is. Is it her or is it Jean Carroll? It's very easy to trip this guy up. He obviously incriminates himself with every breath. And I mean, I don't really care about their relationship, except, you know, it's toxic and horrible and probably. Yeah, I mean, more than golden handcuffs. Like a golden rain of lies, all lies. And it's incredibly embarrassing to have to be the woman next to him. Look, we're in a country that I'm old enough to remember and I'm not even saying that. Sort of in that phraseology or whatever. I just remember how people treated Hillary Clinton when she stayed with Bill Clinton after we found out about her relationship with Monica Lewinsky.

Good. Scandal. How could she? All this and that, all that is gone, all that is completely gone, right? And first of all, who cares about her? I think it's not about whether or not he slept with her, but what should matter to her so-called evangelical morals, you know her, traditional family values, bullshit people. But is not so exactly. And it's like if he were a Democrat, they would be harassing Melania. How are you still with this man she cheated on while you were pregnant? They drag her through the mud. And this is the extent to which you know, MSNBC or the liberals, we're like we're not dragging it.

You know what I'm saying? Like she was just wild. Yes. Thank God, of course. And maybe that's the small amount of empathy that comes from the evolution of decades of media. Maybe it's just the fact that in this case he's a Republican, maybe it would be the same if he were a Democrat. And I like it and I try, obviously, we send empathy and compassion in our kind of value network. That said, as I keep in mind at the same time, you know, she has defended him. I'm not talking about relationship stuff. I'm talking about horrendous policies and positions.

She's taken up racing and all that. So, you know, if you want to have a personal problem with Melania, I think she's given you plenty of political reasons to do so. In terms of relationships, relationships are complicated. She could really believe that he didn't do it. It is a completely complex situation. There are kids and everything, so I don't judge for that. And honestly, and I know this is weird and I shouldn't have this feeling, but I just think that if it's announced, the judge hits the gavel, she's going to go to prison for this. I imagine the weight that comes off her shoulders. -My God, will she sleep well? -That she shouldn't be a Disney princess.

Much better or worse. Because, you know, she believes some bad things. Like, I'm not like, I don't. There's this weird thing where people imagine she's imprisoned by him or something. No, she is a fully functioning human who was willingly involved in all of this, but again, just on a purely non-political level, the weight would be lifted, if there could be a camera in her face when it is announced and it probably wouldn't. will do. she'll announce herself until, probably, she finds a way to avoid, you know, the consequences and all that. But if so, it's going to be something that I hope isn't Stephanie Grisham in her room with her at that moment.

But I hope whoever it is eventually writes a book, because it will be fascinating. The last point in this case, no final point, is simply that I think this case is really fascinating on a million different levels, because it points exactly to the hypocrisy of Republicans right now when it comes to, again, their family values. . And it's, again, about traditional masculinity and femininity and blah, blah, blah, and that's women, shut up pregnant women, shut up. Who cares what your alpha male does, right? Although we hate sex workers and we all should. Yes, everyone is trying to like, you know, even sex-adjacent workers are somehow trying to groom our children.

Now they are preparing your president, brother. As if that's exactly what happened. And in addition to that, we must remember that this case was the first thing that happened to Donald Trump when he became president from him. And it coincided with the MeToo movement. Donald Trump lured Stormy Daniels to his hotel room with the promise of a possible job. Hey, let's work together. Let's do something. Now, of course, I know what you're thinking. If you're Stormy Daniels, you see a creep like Donald Trump not going to his hotel room. But this is Harvey Weinstein. This is what creates this cascade of the MeToo movement.

And this was kind of the first little snowball in the avalanche. I think about what really changed our culture, which was the MeToo movement. Yes, you are absolutely right. So we talked about the work aspect, but not the one where you did a much better job of linking it. That's what the fund, the social movement, was fundamentally about, was using the control you have over opportunities, financial opportunities and business opportunities. You're right. I'm going to wrap this up because I just figured out how this should play out. Yes please. I'm not a PR person, but, Melania, you should hire me because I have great ideas.

I'll give you one right now. It was announced in court that he will go to prison. For 16 years or whatever. Remember, up to four years in prison for each of the charges is 34. None of that is going to happen. But, hypothetically, could he not issue a statement or a speech? Nothing like that. She doesn't appear on Fox News. She's just an Instagram picture. And it's like her. It will be a shot of her from behind, standing like on a balcony, looking out a window. She loves to make things like that, sort of like metaphorical images. And there is no title.

There's just her on the balcony looking out, and she's wearing the "I really don't care" jacket. That's all. I just want to see that on Instagram. It would be very impressive.
