The 'wild card':

Trump may have a good reason to fear Melania


by Matthew Rozsa
Alternet.org, April 19, 2026

EXCERPT...

“Why had the presser been called?” wrote The Independent’s Sarah Beth Spraggins about the first lady’s surprising April 9th press conference. “There have been growing rumors that Paolo Zampolli – the modeling agent Melania credits with encouraging her to move to the United States – may have used his ties to the Trumps to have his ex-partner Amanda Ungaro deported.”

SNIP...

Melania Trump is accused of using her influence with the White House to help Zampolli get Ungaro deported to Brazil so he could prevail in a custody dispute. As former President George W. Bush aide Steve Schmidt recently pointed out, “Melania claims it was Zampolli who introduced her to her soulmate at the Kit Kat Klub in Manhattan in 1998. That’s the story at least. Ungaro came to the United States via airplane at age 16 or 17 from Brazil. She arrived via private jet.”

In addition to the Ungaro theory, Wolff speculated at the time of the press conference that the first lady was reacting to an upcoming book linking the Trumps to the former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor by historian Andrew Lownie.

“A new book was published yesterday in the US and UK, entitled ‘The Rise and Fall of The House of York,’” Wolff posted on X. “It's by a British journalist by the name of Andrew Lownie, and it's about the life of Prince Andrew. But it is also about his connection to Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Melania Trump.”

Wolff added, “In fact, it contains a passage in which Epstein is quoted — apparently from a 2007 interview — where he says that he had sex with Melania a full year before Donald Trump commenced his relationship with her.”
