This whole week, this was supposed to be the Melania week. I mean, they have spent time in the

White House discussing this. This week was the give to the First Lady. And this means a lot to her.

This Melania, the movie, is her statement.

Michael.

Joanna.

All right.

Let's get into it.

We've been talking, and I know you've been talking to people in the White House.

Let's actually find out what the hell it is going on inside Trump's head in that cavernous space.

You know, enormous amount of, what would you call it, chatter this weekend and quite a bit of Shadenfreude. In brief, let's cut this down. It is the Susie Wiles faction blaming, and blame is a key

thing in the Trump White House because Trump can never accept

blame and there is always someone to blame. The Susie Wiles faction blaming Christy Knoem and

Stephen Miller and Christy Knoome blaming each other. And together with that, and actually maybe over all that, the cloud, over all of that, is a truly pissed off first lady. Minneapolis and these ice shootings, ice out of control, is ruining her week.

Saturday was the first screening of Melania, the movie.

Thursday is the premiere at the Kennedy Center, and all anyone can talk about

is the fiasco in Minneapolis. In other words, they are not talking about Melania, the movie.

Melania, the country's most famous immigrant. Let's unpack the Kremlinology of all this,

because it seemed significant to me that Kristy Noem's team had let it be known that she had asked

for what turned out to be a two-hour meeting with the president.

Right.

That is, of course, not true.

And you can always assume in these things that the opposite is true.
