Melania Trump has a whole new scandal

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Earlier this week, Melania Trump very publicly forced Deputy National Security Adviser Mira Ricardel out of her job. This was the culmination of ongoing clashes between the two during their shared trip to Africa. Melania appears to believe that it was Ricardel who outed her for having wastefully booked a nearly hundred thousand dollar hotel stay and then not even having stayed in it. Now Melania has a whole new scandal.

It turns out the Africa debacle wasn’t the only time in which Melania Trump ran up a massive hotel bill for no justifiable reason. Quartz is reporting that Melania blew a whopping $174,000 on hotel bills when she visited Toronto, despite – stop us if you’ve heard this one before – not even staying the night.

The kicker here is that if she’s done this twice, then she’s probably made a consistent habit out of it, raising the question of just how many millions of taxpayer dollars she may have blown on her extravagant international travel. Worse than being wasteful, Melania appears to be trying to carry out revenge at all costs against anyone who may be exposing her for it.

What’s particularly notable is that, in publicly getting Ricardel ousted from a national security position, Melania Trump knowingly threw away whatever little might have been left of her reputation. If anyone had been unsure if Melania was a victim or a co-conspirator in Donald Trump’s tyranny, this erased any real doubt. Public figures generally only decide to throw away their reputation in the name of petty revenge if they don’t expect to be public figures much longer. Is Melania expecting her husband to be ousted soon?
