Trump Lawyer Awkwardly Explains Why Melania Didn't Come To Support Him During Trial

In an interview this week, Donald Trump's lead criminal defense attorney Todd Blanche had an awkward moment when he attempted to explain why Melania Trump never showed up to support her husband at his criminal trial. Blanche claimed that it was because the former First Lady was just too darn busy with Barron's graduation and other "things" to get up to New York. This is a completely BS excuse, as the graduation happened weeks before the trial ended. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins offers a better explanation as to why Melania skipped the trial.

During a recent podcast interview, Donald Trump's lead defense lawyer, Todd Blanche, insisted that Melania Trump's absence from her husband's hush money criminal trial was not because of a quote, lack of love and support. Oh, no, no, no. She loves him. She supports him. She just, oh, she was so busy with so many other things, you know, that she couldn't make it up to New York. Here's what Todd b Blanche said there, wa that wasn't a discussion that I wanted to have. I mean, you know, their, their son was finishing school in Florida, and I don't think that the lack of presence should be interpreted, interpreted, excuse me, as a lack of love and support. It's just a lack of presence. This was a tough case because of the nature of the charges, the, the evidence that came in the history.

Yikes. Kind of sounds like you're admitting not really anything about Melania, but you're admitting that, man, that evidence that came in. Holy crap. No way we could have fought that. Oh, Todd, Todd, Todd, you do realize there are some things that you should just keep to yourself, because if y'all now try to appeal this, those words where you're like, man, that evidence against us, boy, yeah, that's gonna hurt you later on. You idiot. But it is what it is, right? Melania Trump didn't show up, but Todd Blanche insisted Trump was in good spirits, because of course, his other buddy showed up. Blanche said quote, he had friends that showed up every day. His family was there every day. Some didn't come to court. They would just stay at his house and be there in the morning when he got there and be there when he got home at night, every day they were there, except when they, like weren't there, and they were just at the house, right?

like, that's not, that doesn't even make any sense. I mean, Eric Trump showed up, Don Jr. How Tiffany Trump showed up at the trial. Tiffany the forgotten Trump child, but Melania, ugh, you know, Baron's graduation and all that. He was finishing up school kid's, 18 years old, like legally an adult, and I'm sure you have assistance, you know, and other kind of personal valets. He'd have been fine for a couple days if you needed to go up to New York to support your husband. Not to mention the fact that his graduation actually took place about two weeks before the trial ended. So once that happened, there was no excuse at all for you not to come, even by Todd Blanche's own standards. Nah, the reason Melania Trump didn't show up is one, because I do not believe that she loves or supports her husband. Maybe you have a different opinion, but she has never once acted like she actually gives a crap about that man. She didn't want to go there because it was a humiliating experience for her. She didn't want to go there because we, you know, not we, but they in the trial talked about his affair, which of course took place four months after Baron was born. It would've been absolutely

Humiliating for her to hear that. Not because the man she loves cheated on her, but because he picked somebody else over her, she wasn't good enough for him, and that is what would've driven her crazy. So, make what you want out of why she didn't show up. But I firmly believe she didn't want to have to sit there and be humiliated by the fact that her husband is a lying, cheating SOB.
