Melania Trump is currently being treated for COVID-19, after testing positive last week, and you get the feeling she won’t be all that stoked to see Donald return to the White House from the Walter Reed military medical centre.

At least his Secret Service agents won’t have to shuttle him around on vanity drive-bys, I guess.

Whilst the first lady leads a more private life than her husband, the past few weeks have given us a glimpse into her thinking, due in large part to the audio recordings released by her former friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.

The author of Melania & Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady has been busy punting her book, and she has recordings to back up many of her claims.

Yesterday we heard Melania rant about Christmas decorations and the liberal media, and this time we get to hear her thoughts on Stormy Daniels.

You may recall the porn star (Stormy, not Melania) has gone on the record to describe the president’s penis, detailed their affair and Trump’s fear of sharks, and fired multiple shots in the wake of being called “horseface”.

Just your standard Trump presidency stuff, really.

Via the Guardian, let’s hear Melania unleash the fury:

Wolkoff released the recording on Mea Culpa, a podcast presented by Michael Cohen, Donald Trump’s former lawyer and fixer.

Cohen has also written a tell-all but Wolkoff’s book, Melania & Me, has perhaps become more of a headache for the White House, as the author releases recordings of conversations with the first lady that she says she made in self-defence.

It’s ironic that a president who will never read a book (or an intelligence briefing) will be the subject of so many in the years to come.

Here’s that recording:

The “porn hooker”, you say? It’s true that Daniels is a porn star, but there is no evidence she was ever a hooker.

Donald had his affair with Stormy Daniels just four months after the couple’s only son, Barron, was born.

Melania refers to a Vogue August 2018 story, titled ‘Stormy Daniels Isn’t Backing Down’, which was photographed by Annie Leibovitz.

Clearly, Leibovitz didn’t shoot those photos of Melania from a GQ spread back in 2000.
