Paid members of the Bulwark get exclusive access to the FULL episode: https://youtu.be/IGXGek5jy4Y JVL and Sarah discuss the failed ceasefire, Melania’s bizarre Epstein pre-denial, and the growing rift between Trump and “America First” heavyweights like Tucker, Megyn, Candace, and Alex Jones. Is this just another performative feud, or the start of something real? And as AI muddies reality itself, what happens when nobody believes anything anymore?

To add on to JVL's anecdote, two ultra MAGA homes I often drive by have removed all of their signage/flags recently, and the one now has an American flag hung upside down in the distress position.

Maybe it's about Zampoli's wife threatening to spill the tea

JVL, don't ever sacrifice your authenticity for approval. You can't make all the people happy all the time. 😂

I passed a MAGA house in my town today---the old outdoor stuff is gone. There is a big sign 'Veteran against the Iran War.' So I think there is something happening on the ground. For the podcasters, they need to start moving away from Trump just for their business.

So on brand that FLOTUS wants to hurt the victims in a public spectacle, rather than exposing the abusers

Some people say that Epstein introduced her to DJT. Melania maintains that she was introduced to Trump in 1998 by Paolo Zampolli. Coincidently, Paolo at 32 married a 17 year old model, Amanda Ungaro who is a Brazillian Model. He was one of the guys throwing the parties with Trump and Epstein. Trump was married to Marla Maples at the time. He has always been gross when it comes to women. Zampolli had ICE deportUngaro so he could get 100% custody of their child. Amanda Ungaro had tried reaching out to Melania, but Melania ignored her. So Ungaro has been posting on X mentioning Melania, and Trump saying she has the dirt on them. This is the reason for that bizarre Press conference

She was definitely pre-empting something nasty in the pipeline.

Thank you JVL! The reporting of the downed totem pole *finally* gives me hope.

He's mad because he's not getting his share of that money they're charging
