Drudge Retort: The Other Side of the News
Saturday, February 14, 2026

Michael Wolff steps inside the chaos swirling around Trump World"from Wolff's bombshell federal lawsuit against Melania Trump, which he says could finally force sworn answers about the Trump"Epstein relationship, to the extraordinary legal fight over where the First Lady actually lives.

As Wolff argues that anti-SLAPP laws may become a frontline weapon against what he calls the White House's assault on free speech, he and Daily Beast executive editor Hugh Dougherty dissect the implications of Melania's alleged full-time life in New York, her separate Trump Tower apartment, and the branding empire she's quietly building.

The conversation then widens to what Wolff portrays as a second administration defined by loyalty over competence: election denier Kurt Olsen rising to oversee election security, Pam Bondi's combative Hill performance, and the bizarre El Paso airspace shutdown involving secret lasers, drone claims, and bureaucratic bedlam.

Is this a White House tightening its grip " or a government spinning into incompetence so profound it can no longer explain itself?

"This is the question of the of the day in this lawsuit. Where does she live?
They are either going to have to prove that they live in Florida, or accept the fact that she lives in New York.

The first lady does not live with the president of the United States.

Their relationship is remote at best, and I think we can probably say,
well, certainly of a different nature than any, president and first lady has ever had.

Not to mention that, that, to our point, the nature of this is that she lives in New York and he lives somewhere else." - Michael Wolff

Oh, wait... is this what the new voting requirements are all about; he doesn't want her as an illegal immigrant with no driver's license because a changed name to be able to vote?

And who's his main squeeze (yuck!) in the WH?

This guy?:
