Always looking for something to be outraged by, the MAGA faithful are now obsessed with reports that when the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago on Monday in connection with a warrant issued by a federal judge, they also looked through Melania Trump’s wardrobe drawers.
What?! Oh my God! The horror!!
The story began on Fox News, which has been pushing the Melania angle in prime time, no doubt hoping to boost ratings and keep the Trump acolytes properly outraged.

A lot of breaking news tonight on the @IngrahamAngle about the #TrumpRaid: ⁃The FBI spent hours at Mar A Lago, even going through Melania’s wardrobe ⁃The judge that signed the search warrant recently refused himself from a Clinton v. Trump lawsuit ⁃And plenty more… pic.twitter.com/j0oOvK4hvZ
If FBI agents went through Melania’s clothing, that was clearly covered in the search warrant. After all, it’s quite easy to hide documents, cell phones, cameras, and thumb drives in a drawer.
And then there’s this possibility: Maybe Melania is a co-conspirator with her husband. It wouldn’t be the first time a married couple has engaged in criminal behavior as a team.
But to hear the outcry on social media, you’d have thought they strip searched Melania.
FBI even searched Melania's wardrobe in Trump raid.
Targeted Government overreach … 30 agents sniffing Melania’s clothes and shoes. Sick. 👠
This raid is a direct attack not just on President Elect Trump, not just on First Lady Melania Trump but on our entire country! The evil and corrupt left is covering up their crimes by trying to attack President Trump! They are showing how scared they are, the left is going down!

Does the FBI, Biden's slave, like women's clothes?
Thanks for former Trump administration official Cassidy Hutchinson, we learned a great deal from today’s public hearing of the January 6 House Select Committee, especially about failed, one-term former president Donald Trump’s actions on that fateful day.
The Washington Postsummed up the bombshells from today’s testimony:
Hutchinson testified that Trump was informed that his supporters were in D.C. armed to the teeth
Trump attempted to choke a member of his Secret Service detail when the agent refused to let the ex-president march to the Capitol
Trump didn’t want to call off the rioters
We also heard testimony about what Ivanka, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr. were saying as the riot took place. According to Hutchinson, they wanted their father to urge protesters to leave the Capitol. However, he waited hours before finally doing so.
What about Melania Trump, the former first lady? Well, while Hutchinson didn’t mention her, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham certainly did, and her reminder to Melania said more than hours of testimony from any witness.
That first message was from Grisham on January 6. The one-word response, “No,” was the reply from Melania. That’s how concerned she was.
For years now, we’ve all heard how classy and wonderful Melania Trump. But she isn’t. She’s a grifting piece of fecal matter just like her husband. Hell, that’s probably why she married him! They’re two peas in a proverbial pod.
Remember the “Be Best” initiative Melania started while she was first lady? Too bad she didn’t bother to take her own advice and give a damn when people were being killed on Jan. 6.
Former First Lady Melania Trump is under investigation for selling tickets to an event scheduled in April with proceeds going to a charity that doesn’t appear to exist, according to the New York Times.
“Mrs. Trump is now selling tickets to the April ‘high tea,’ with organizers saying that some of the profits will benefit an initiative of her ‘Be Best’ endeavor called ‘Fostering the Future,’ meant to provide computer-science scholarships to young people who have been in foster care.”
Though it remains unclear what portion of ticket sales will go directly to the former first lady, the bigger question is why her so-called “charity” hasn’t been registered, as is required by Florida law since Melania now lives in the Sunshine State:
“Florida requires any organization that raises charitable contributions in the state to register. No charity with the name ‘Fostering the Future’ or ‘Be Best’ is registered in Florida.
“Asked about the solicitation, officials at the Florida agency that oversees charitable fund-raising said they also could not find evidence of the required state registration and had opened an inquiry as a result.”
Of course, this isn’t the first time a member of the Trump family has been accused of using a charity for their own personal enrichment.
You probably recall that the state of New York forced the Donald J. Trump Foundation to be closed when it was discovered that donations had been diverted so the former president could buy things such as painted portraits of himself, as USA Today noted in November of 2019:
State Supreme Court Justice Saliann Scarpulla of Manhattan ruled on Thursday that Trump pay $2 million in damages to various nonprofit groups to settle allegations that he and his family used the Trump Foundation to further his political and business interests.
Though Trump admitted the misconduct in court documents, he issued a defiant statement in which he accused New York’s attorney general of mischaracterizing the settlement process for political purposes. Trump claimed he had been attacked by “political hacks in New York State.”
Clearly, Melania is just as big of a grifter as her husband. It’s no wonder they were so attracted to each other when they first met in 1998.
On Saturday evening, failed, one-term former President Donald Trump made an appearance at Game Four of the 2021 World Series in Atlanta, but his wife, Melania, looked like she’d have just as soon been anywhere else.
At one point during the game, Donald and Melania joined the crowd in doing the controversial “tomahawk chop” cheer to rally the Atlanta Braves, who went on to win the game:
But another video of the Trumps shows a much different scene, as Melania appears to be smiling and then looks away as if she’s disgusted and wants to get the hell away from the con man standing next to her:
Does the name Stephanie Grisham ring any bells? Considering that she was a member of the Trump administration and staff turnover was a constant during the years failed, one-term former President Donald Trump was in office, you can be forgiven if her name doesn’t automatically evoke any memories of her tenure.
Grisham was chief of staff to Melania Trump and also served as White House press secretary for a time. She’s the press secretary who never once held a press briefing. Remember her now? Here she is:
According to Axios, Grisham may soon be a household name thanks to a tell-all book she’s written about her time inside the Trump administration, because she’s allegedly going to detail scandals none of us knew about:
“Stephanie Grisham has quietly written a top-secret memoir of her four years in Donald Trump’s White House, and a publishing source says she’ll reveal ‘surprising new scandals.'”
The book — entitled I’ll Take Your Questions Now: What I Saw in The Trump White House — is especially dangerous for the Trumps because Grisham reportedly knows things others don’t:
A source close to the publication told Axios: “Grisham knows where all the bodies are buried because she buried a lot of them herself.”
The source says Grisham “has receipts … she was a press person and it was her job to make sure she knew what was happening.”
Grisham knows the Trump family well, too, according to Axios, and that led a former White House colleague to remark:
“When I heard this, all I could think about was Stephanie surrounded by a lake of gasoline, striking a match with a grin on her face.”
The danger from Grisham’s book is significant for Donald Trump since he’s considering running again in 2024, but the person who would be most impacted is Melania:
“Melania Trump guarded her privacy intensely and trusted almost nobody during her time as first lady. Grisham, as her chief of staff, was one of the very few allowed into her inner sanctum.
“She saw another sideof the Trumps — in the residence — that most staffers never got to see.”
And that alone led the former staffer who served with Grisham to warn:
“There isn’t enough water on earth to contain the fire she could set to all of Trump world, including parts like the first lady’s orbit, which not many people are in a position to illuminate.
“It’s hard to articulate how much anxiety this is going to cause.”
Good. As much anxiety as Donald Trump caused during his term of office, it’s about time karma paid him a visit.
