Amanda Ungaro on X: Hello Melania, I was around you for 20 years.... Because I will expose everything I know.

[demmiblue]

Hello Melania, I was around you for 20 years. You knew I was inside ICE, and you know what hurts after all this time? I stayed close to your family — your mother and your father — not because of you, but because of them, at
events and everything else.

So shut your mouth when speaking about me.

Because I will expose everything I know.

Follow this thread.

Most likely, and of course, all speculation right now, this is why Melania did her 6 min statement today.

Amanda Ungaro was brought here as a 17-year-old model. She flew to NYC on Epstein's private plane.

Paolo Zampolli, the modeling agent who allegedly introduced Melania to Trump in 1998, fathered Ungaro's child. They were engaged in an ugly custody battle. Zampolli leaned on ICE and his Trump connections to DEPORT Ungaro.

Zampolli also allegedly represented Melania when she was a model...

1. Oh, yeah, things are going to get interesting! Hope she takes precautions, tho

Stay away from upper story windows, careful around stairs...that sort of thing

[newdeal2]

2. Certainly an interesting development worth watching

This is the Melania movie we all wanted and deserved.

[orangecrush]

11. ...

27. Maybe Oliver Stone's looking for a new project?

[demmiblue]

3. More connections to the Trump administration:

If you thought the Trump admin might want to put some distance between them and the subject of this NY Times profile...here he is with Vance in Hungary yesterday

"Mr. Prime Minister, I'd like you to meet someone who epitomizes the American dream: he picked his much hotter and younger partner from an Epstein plane when she was a teenager, refused to marry her after they had a kid, and set ICE on her when she went to another man." bsky.app/profile/head...

What a wicked web we weave…

[Vinca]

4. Whoa - that lady could have a bestselling book.

[TheRickles]

5. I hope she has already videotaped her recounting of the story.

Along with the threat to have it released if something should happen to her - a dead woman's switch.

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Ah! So this is what brings Trump down

He never thinks this through. I hope someone protects that woman.

[malaise]

7. She was deported to Brazil

Clearly they didn’t think this through.

[Baitball Blogger]

8. Yes, I corrected.

Just opened my eyes and the sleep bogeys got in my way.

[niyad]

9. KNR and bookmarking for later. I need coffee.

[orangecrush]

10. ...

[JoseBalow]

12. So she knows something she's not telling

and she just told everyone she has secret information.

[OldBaldy1701E]

15. Well, that can work both ways.

This might give her some protection as if she even gets a hangnail, everyone will be screaming at the orange shock troops and their leader. They will have to constantly prove that they did not do anything to her.

Because you know they are going to. Spoiled children are convinced that they are always right.

Until someone shows them that they are not.

Let's hope that day comes soon.

[NH Ethylene]

28. She shouldn't count on that.

After all, he buried his ex wife on his property under suspicious circumstances and nobody dared investigate.

[FakeNoose]

13. K & R Lots to read here!

I need to get up earlier, I'm missing all the good stuff....

[Joinfortmill]

14. It's getting real, people...

Like Donald, Melania doesn't seem to know when to keep silent. The Epstein files must be really horrific. TickTock.

[niyad]

16. And just an added tidbit. .that fucker zampolli was (is?) in Hungary

with couchhumper. WHY is this fucker part of an official delegation? Is orban in the trumpstein files???

[ColoringFool]

31. Most Likely Orban Is. Putin To Epstein To Trump To.....

ALL other 1%ers, because at that level of wealth it's too often about two things: control of their populations, whether they're called "citizens" or "consumers"; and almost unimaginable decadence.

What we ARE to the Trumps, Putins, Bolsinaros, Andrew Windsors, Orbans, Casablancases, Gateses, and Epsteins of the world, is......

prey.

[niyad]

33. And I learned that scum zampolli is "US Special Envoy/Representative

For Global Partnerships (oh, and also on the KENNEDY Center Board).

[malaise]

40. Watching every move Vance makes and reporting back

to Donvict and the other bosses?

[AverageOldGuy]

17. WAIT -- THERE'S MORE

I'm a regular reader of the blog "Lawyers, Guns, and Money." Here's an excerpt from their article commenting on Melanoma's press conference.

https://www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2026/04/why-is-melania-trump-suddenly-making-a-big-deal-about-the-fact-that-she-never-had-anything-at-all-to-do-with-jeffrey-epstein

Amid all the rest of the madness, the first lady of the evening held a press conference completely out of the blue yesterday, at which she robotically stumbled through a statement in which she claimed not to have ever had any relationship with Jeffrey Epstein. She attacked the very many stories linking her to Epstein (if there were a photo of myself while obviously eight miles high, posing for the cameras with Epstein and his procuress at a high-profile public event, I would make it a policy not to speak of the whole subject unless under subpoena, but whatever), denied she had been victimized by Epstein or that he had introduced her to her current husband, and, most curiously, called for public hearings for Epstein’s victims.

Nobody, including the best-connected propagandists inside the right wing scream machine, had any explanation for this development. Mrs. Trump wasn’t reacting to a new story, nor did it appear she was trying to get ahead of something that was about to break, although apparently there’s a book coming out in Merrie Olde Ynglande next week about the pervert formerly known as Prince Andrew, which contains a quote from Epstein in 2007, in which he said he had carnal knowledge of Melania before she ever met Donald Trump. But that seems like a weird thing to bring more attention to via this inexplicable stunt.

So, as Nice Guy Eddie might put it, why doesn’t somebody tells us what’s really going on here?

Which brings us to Amanda Ungaro, a Brazilian former model, and apparently a long-standing close friend of Melania and her family.

Amanda was married to wealthy Trump supporter, Paolo Zampolli, who owned a modeling agency known for bringing in young women from Eastern Europe with dubious visa arrangements. Zampolli is rumored to have secured the original visa for young Melania. He is currently on the new Kennedy Center Board of Trustees.

Perhaps the report of a book coming out in England inspired Melanoma's press conference.

[ColoringFool]

35. There Is An Error: Zampolli and Ungaro Were Never Married.

[yardwork]

18. I followed some links to this Substack post - Pam Bondi is all over this.

I wonder if this is the reason Trump dumped Bondi so quickly. She's deeply involved in the Epstein coverup and use of ICE as secret police.

https://bekahdayyy.substack.com/p/a-message-from-amanda-the-epstein

[niyad]

22. I need more coffee. .forget that, I need a DRINK to get through all that substack

and all the other information out there about this.

[malaise]

25. Hmmmmmmm

I wonder if this is the reason Trump dumped Bondi so quickly.

[sop]

32. That substack post is a must read.

[democrank]

19. One thing you can count on with a Trump story

There is always a thug involved or a creep or a lie or some cash or an underage female or something against the law or against our Constitution. There is always some unqualified person given a job or an award. Always an exaggeration, a false promise, a lack of historical facts. Always a payoff, a grift. Always racism or misogyny. Always degradation, mockery, bullying.

What a disgrace Trump is….Trump, his family, his enablers, his supporters and all the cowardly Republicans in Congress and elsewhere.

[PCIntern]

23. Never have I heard it described better.

Rec!!!

[niyad]

20. US Special Envoy for Global Partnerships paolo zampolli. I wondered

what the hell he was doing in an official delegation. And what is the deal with usha holding what looks like a bridal bouquet?

[yorkster]

30. Budapest Airport arrival bouquet for beeg shots...

[niyad]

34. weird

This is the first I have seen of her in months.

[in2herbs]

41. Usha is due in mid-late July. Does she look pregnant? nt

[spanone]

21. K&R

[blue-wave]

24. Well, well, well

The reason for that Melania presser/announcement has taken a turn I did not see coming. But the dawn does come.

Release all the Epstein files, unredacted.

[dalton99a]

26. Kick

[TBF]

29. Nice --

[ColoringFool]

36. I Think "Melania The Movie" Will Need Re-Packaging As FICTION.

[Clouds Passing]

37. Air it out people!

[Attilatheblond]

38. Kick for the later arrivals

Wow, no wonder the walking hat got her knickers in a twist. And here I thought she just went off the handle because Barron was being teased at school.

[oregonjen]

39. Perhaps the violent video he posted of a woman being unalived was a threat to this woman?

You know, mob boss tactics…
