Last night, CNN released taped conversations of Melania Trump talking to Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, her then-friend and advisor who just dropped a book about their relationship called Melania and Me. The tapes were played on Anderson Cooper 360, and featured Melania expressing frustration about being considered complicit in Trump’s horrifyingly inhumane policy of separating families at the border in 2018.

“They say I’m complicit. I’m the same like him, I support him. I don’t say enough I don’t do enough where I am,” she said, per CNN. “I’m working… my ass off on the Christmas stuff, that you know, who gives a f*ck about the Christmas stuff and decorations? But I need to do it, right?”

She then added, “OK, and then I do it and I say that I’m working on Christmas and planning for the Christmas and they said, ‘Oh, what about the children that they were separated?’ Give me a f*cking break. Where they were saying anything when Obama did that? I can not go, I was trying get the kid reunited with the mom. I didn’t have a chance—needs to go through the process and through the law.”

In another recording, Melania can be heard saying of migrant children, “The kids, they say, ‘Wow I will have my own bed? I will sleep on the bed? I will have a cabinet for my clothes?’ It’s so sad to hear it but they didn’t have that in their own countries, they sleep on the floor…They are taken care of nicely there. But you know, yeah, they are not with parents, it’s sad. But when they come here alone or with coyotes or illegally, you know, you need to do something.”

As if this isn’t horrible enough, she also accused mothers and children of lying to Border Patrol officials and went so far as to mimic their voices.

In a statement, Melania’s chief of staff Stephanie Grisham said “Secretly taping the First Lady and willfully breaking an NDA to publish a salacious book is a clear attempt at relevance. The timing of this continues to be suspect—as does this never-ending exercise in self-pity and narcissism.”

FYI, Melania’s tapes dropped just hours before she and Donald Trump were diagnosed with coronavirus. They are both currently in quarantine at the White House.
