President Donald Trump raged at the FBI for making a “mess” of his wife Melania’s “panties” during a raid on their Mar-a-Lago estate.
In a rambling speech delivered at a rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, on Friday night, Trump went off on a wild tangent about federal law enforcement agents, revealing how they had disturbed the First Lady’s underwear drawer during their 2022 search of the Palm Beach, Florida, property.
“They went into my wife’s closet. I’ll say this. Number one, it’s very bad, but it sounds a little strange. They looked at her drawers,” Trump told the crowd while both himself and the crowd laughed.
“You have drawers, and then you have drawers. They looked at both,” he continued, miming the difference between the storage item and the undergarment.
The unprompted revelation of intimate details did not stop there, however, with Trump going full disclosure on the way his third wife likes to store her underwear.
“She’s a very meticulous person… Everything is perfect. Her undergarments, sometimes referred to as panties, are folded perfect, wrapped, they’re like so perfect. I say, ‘That’s beautiful,’” Trump continued.
“You know, that’s the part of the world she came from. Everything was perfect, no problem. Fold, fold, fold. I think she steams them just to make sure.”
As Trump spoke, a woman in the crowd could be seen covering her face as she cringed.
The in-excess-of-an-hour speech Trump delivered was supposed to shore up Republican support in the battleground state ahead of the midterm elections.
Trump told voters that inflation was “far lower than anybody expected,” following the 2.7 percent jump in consumer prices observed in November, while bragging once again about the results of his cognitive test.
The raid in question was conducted in August 2022 under the Biden administration, after it was discovered that Trump failed to return classified documents when he left office in 2021, following the end of his first term.
More than 100 documents with classified markings were discovered, leading to federal charges of conspiracy to obstruct justice, among others.
The Trump administration has been crowing about the raid recently after claiming that leaked emails prove the FBI did not have probable cause to raid Trump’s home, thus proving their narrative that law enforcement had been “weaponized” against him.
“Unreasonable Search and Seizure!!! That was the FBI’s CRIMINAL RAID on Mar-a-Lago. This can never be allowed to happen again!!! President DJT,” Trump posted to social media this week, more than three years after the incident.
However, the Trump-appointed judge who ruled on Trump’s legal challenge to the FBI’s raid already dismissed the idea that the bureau did not have sufficient evidence to go ahead with it.
This was not the first time Trump has waxed poetic about his wife’s underwear in public.
Recounting the same anecdote during a press gathering at the Oval Office in August, Trump proclaimed that Melania was furious the FBI had gone through her “drawers.”
Rolling out the anecdote once again to the lucky audience in North Carolina, Trump took the opportunity to deliver it in even more excruciating detail.
