I just realized, Melania is 24 years younger than her husband. Karoline Leavitt is 32 years younger than her spouse. Wouldn't it be weird if Matt Gaetz' statutory rapes are the closest thing to an age appropriate relationship that the MAGAtts have?

They were all over the age of consent in every state. Trump met Melania when they were around 26 and 50, which is perfectly legal.
