Former first lady hosts Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago as husband Donald prepares for opening statements in criminal trial
Republicans are so fucking weird. Trump’s disgraced third hooker wife has to host a fundraiser while her husband is being tried for committing criminal fraud while bribing a porn so they can collect campaign contributions from a group of people that the Republican Party intends to legislate out of existence.
Back in the day, a young Donald Trump was mentored in New York politics by the legendary Roy Cohn. Cohn had been Joe McCarthy's righthand man during the 1950s and had carved out a reputation as one of the meanest lawyers in Manhattan. When Cohn was diagnosed with AIDS and outed as a gay man, Trump abandoned him cold.

Supposedly there are conflicting stories about that. I forget the exact details but basically as I recall there are two sources, I think the switchboard operator and the secretary. One says he stopped speaking to him altogether and the other says they kept talking, Trump was the last person to speak to him before he died and all Trump did was move his legal matters to an attorney who wasn't literally dying.
Yes a quiet event because it was her style.... Or was it a quiet event because they're trying to court the LGBT conservatives while not pissing off all of the bigots in their party?
How the fuck are any LGBT people pro-trump? The dude hates their existence and the party is actively trying to criminalize their lifestyle....
Oh wait, they're still only openly anti-trans, so the log cabin republicans can pretend they won't be on the block once the trans "problem" is taken care of. But surely they won't be targeted, they're one of the good ones! Just like our ol' buddy Ernst.
Yep. The rich ones want their tax cuts. They think their wealth will save them if this country goes fully fascist?
Getting people to vote against their own interests is the Republican party's whole schtick.
Do tell, I was thinking of eggs and toast. All in all, far more fascinating than this article or its content.
King Cobra and dry roasted salted peanuts. Yeah the beer is from Anheuser Busch, but I'm not one that gets pissy whenever people change or forget their gender.
I also like feta cheese and spinach pizza, but apparently it's fried chicken tonight.
Forgot to drink it the night before, and I'm not exactly a coffee guy. I'm alright, I think..
Red chile sauce with poached eggs for me, then later a bottle of Vinho Verde. Pretty decent so far.
What would cause her to help the campaign?
She could have just faded into history and some people could have believed she was just stuck in a bad place.
But now she is choosing to go back in?
Byron is 18 now, so he will be off to college, so she won't be able to use "mothering my son" as an excuse to escape the White House if her husband wins. She will have to be around her husband all the time.
What horrible secrets is she hiding about herself that she needs her husband to win?
Felonious Trump needs money? Who knows what insanity is in the pre-nup trump made her sign. He’s gotta make his family get out there and make him money. I don’t think she’s that devious, she just rides around on trump money and probably has zero control in the relationship. She’s just a shitty human being, which most people seem to know.
Does nobody remember the Trump presidency arguing that organizations should be able to ban same sex couples from adopting children?
She's so clearly doesn't want to be first lady again, which I can't blame her for really, why is she even doing this?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Mr Grenell, the first openly gay member of a presidential cabinet, posted pictures of the event to his Instagram account, describing Ms Trump as “an American treasure” and “electric”.
@MELANIATRUMP joined our dear friend former acting DNI/Ambassador @RicGrenell to announce the launch of the single most important and unprecedented gay and lesbian voter outreach initiative of any Republican presidential nominee in US political history.”
As Ms Trump charmed the crowd at Mar-a-Lago, the former president meanwhile was scheduled to attend a rally in North Carolina but had to pull out at the last minute due to poor weather conditions.
Ahead of her event on Saturday, Ms Trump gave a rare interview to Fox News Digital urging the country to “unite” as the 2024 campaign heats up and her husband faces his hush money trial in New York.
In his remarks to Fox News ahead of the Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, Mr Grenell said: “If you work hard and have a little bit of luck and God’s grace, you can do anything you want in America regardless of your skin colour, socio-economic situation, or sexual orientation.
Asked what she would be working on if she became first lady again, Ms Trump told Fox News Digital: “The safety and well-being of American families remains my top priority.”
The original article contains 858 words, the summary contains 213 words. Saved 75%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!

Yeah trump has a problem pulling out when it’s stormy.
Lmao they had to throw a whole-ass event for Peter Thiel? I wonder if they ended up coming out ahead?
