Melania Wanted $250K for CNN Interview

Friday, October 04, 2024

Nearly two months ago, CNN reached out to Melania Trump's book publisher to request an interview with the former first lady ahead of her upcoming memoir. After several exchanges about a possible interview, the publisher sent an unusual demand last week: an interview would cost $250,000.

Related: A CNN interview? To be an ally to LGBTQ+ people? Melania Trump seems to need $250K just to show up (www.advocate.com), where the bottom line is: " If all else fails, Melania can host another fundraising event for the Log Cabin Republicans, where she's assured of getting paid her standard fee."

I have to ask, why does she seem to need $$$ just to say her opinion?

Heesh, I give my opinion here for free, multiple, dozens?, times a day.

(and yeah, I know, there are some who would wish I reduce my participation here... )

"I have to ask, why does she seem to need $$$ just to say her opinion?"

Because she expects her husband to be in prison soon so she'll need a stash to live on. Melania kmows what she's doing and honestly 'i don't blame her. In the words of her husband she's "being smart."
