Hi, Melania Trump, Epstein Scandal Rush Chairman. Damn Glad To Meet You!

The all-new Monday Countdown Podcast drops at midnight. In it: Melania's Epstein speech was the most important statement by anybody connected to Trump in the last decade. It could TOPPLE this presidency

* he clarifies this in his notes (and even more on the show):

The Melania Trump speech about Epstein was the single most important public statement by anybody connected to Trump in the last decade. She, personally, out of nowhere, moved the Epstein story back to center stage. A month of world-shaking cataclysm by her husband to bury the Epstein story and HIS COVER-UP OF IT and in 535 words she undid all that.

And the thing that will keep this story alive for months: NONE of her words were in defense of her husband. She never said WE are innocent. She said I am innocent. She said it TWENTY FOUR TIMES. Her speech could’ve been only FIVE words long. Five words that may end the Trump presidency:

I’M not taking the fall.

(as an aside from google AI:
"This iconic line is spoken by Eric "Otter" Stratton (played by Tim Matheson) in the 1978 comedy National Lampoon's Animal House. He uses the phrase "Hi, Eric Stratton, rush chairman. Damn glad to meet you" while introducing himself to prospective female students during a fraternity rush event. " )

1. Proceed

2. Hardly

Clickbait merchants will grasp the silliest hyperbole to get clicks.

Melanias speech won’t bring down Trump.

Urgano’s revenge, on the other hand…

6. That's like 3 or 4 topplings of the presidency this week. And last week. And

But hey, I get it. Clicks count when you're chasing clout.
