The left has truly outdone itself this time, demonstrating once again that civility isn’t on their agenda. The Daily Beast recently fired a torpedo at former President Trump with an article dripping in salacious rumors, featuring the eye-catching title “’Don’t Tell Melania’: Trump Once Offered Rising MAGA Star His Bed.” Sure, it sounds scandalous. But dig a little deeper, and it quickly becomes clear that this so-called “bombshell” is barely more than a twist of tongue and some wishful thinking from anonymous sources.
According to the article, Trump supposedly extended an offer of hospitality to Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, a Republican rising star from Florida, while she was feeling under the weather. The implication? A scandalous dalliance with a female colleague while on his plane, all under the guise of a need for a nap. The melodrama surrounding the incident, however, stumbles to the ground when Luna herself clarified the situation. She politely explained that at the time, she was pregnant and suffering from pre-eclampsia symptoms. Not only did Trump offer her a place to rest, he also made sure that appropriate medical assistance was readily available on board. It sounds less like a scandal and more like a kind-hearted gesture from a man who knows how to treat a woman right.
I don’t usually respond to nasty headlines, but with a book allegedly using my name to attack @POTUS, his marriage, and our First Lady—while implying something distasteful about me—I have to speak up.

The Daily Beast spins its tale as though it stumbled upon the Holy Grail of gossip, but in the end, the cherry-picked comments serve more as a punchline than a revelation. While the article invites readers to guess at the implications of Trump’s alleged comment, “Just don’t tell Melania. She doesn’t like other women on my bed,” the context? A lighthearted jab. Even Axios acknowledges it to be in jest, which is rather telling when the left struggles to create drama where there isn’t any.
Attempts to portray the former First Lady and her spouse as embroiled in marital discord have become routine for those on the left. This latest concoction is just another desperate attempt to validate those claims. But then again, that’s the playground of mainstream media: make up a scandal, hit ‘print,’ and sit back while conservatives rush to defend the truth. The ongoing narrative? That Melania Trump must loathe her husband, a viewpoint both unfounded and insulting to anyone with a shred of sense. Those of us who have watched the couple together could easily conclude that they share a mutual respect and admiration, traits that could send the mainstream media into a tailspin.
Perhaps the discomfort stems from a larger issue: the media can’t wrap its head around the idea of a strong, independent man who stands firm without relying on his wife to navigate bureaucratic barriers. They’d rather focus on ridiculous rumors rather than accept that Trump knows how to lead without needing help. All of this goes hand-in-hand with the wider agenda of undermining Trump’s presidency and those who support him. And the truth? It doesn’t suit their narrative.
While the articles churned out by leftist outlets may aim to sow discord, they only add to the conviction many have about Trump’s leadership: He represents a new dawn for America, much to the chagrin of the Left. Even as the left and their hysterical headlines rattle on, patriots across the country continue to stand firm. The jest of a simple flight encounter has morphed into a pitiful attempt at a smear campaign, but just like all the rest, it seems destined to fall flat. The resilient support for Trump remains, undeterred by the ebb and flow of leftist griping and media malfeasance. It’s become abundantly clear: the real drama lies in the left’s persistent inability to deal with a president who defies their every expectation.
