LOL. That one turned out to be true.

Agree it's interesting, particularly when considering how he apparently thinks bringing his fraudulent & litigious business model to the White House is a legit standard operating procedure.

Most reasonable people, both democrats and conservatives, knew that Melania was never an escort. Just like most reasonable people know that Hillary Clinton was never involved in a child sex ring.

But there are dumb people out there who will believe anything.
Yes We Can!

They should have stuck to calling her a "gold-digger." Few would argue with that.

Yup. I view her as the real life incarnation of the movie "Pretty Woman". Not because there's any proof that she's was a sex-worker, but because she had a goal to make herself desireable, and she scored a "big fish".

From what I've read, she wants to make stopping cyberbullying her cause as First Lady:

Melania Trump goes at her own pace | Newsday

If she really wanted to use her position to make a difference, I think she'd voice support for the legalization and regulation of sex-work.

This video (please ignore the title) traces her background.

I think it's absurd that the donald is our president. But wouldn't it be cool if something good came of that?

Wow, I posted this on April 14th, and just noticed today that the second video (the one showing Melania's embarrassment about admitting she didn't want Trump's business number) has been censored. Back on the 14th, it only had a few thousand views. Wonder who pressured the Youtube police to have it removed?

If it was based on a lie, she should win. Then again I don't know why American supermarket rags aren't hit with the same lawsuits when they fabricate stories...

Quoted for emphasis.

Trump supporters are celebrating that the tabloid "settled" with Melania, as if it implies guilt.

If that's the case, what about all the lawsuits that Trump "settled?"

They also have to pay out several million in damages.

All's well that ends Well (with millions). The rich get richer.

Not the 150 she was looking for but we know it wasn't about the money.

Funny how some will assume 2.9 million means guilt here but O'Reilly's 19 million is just to get rid of a nuisance issue.
The faster things get back to "Business as usual" the better.
