Trump diverts rally with in-depth discussion about Melania

President Donald Trump’s Friday rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina, took an intimate turn when he began describing the FBI’s 2022 search of Mar-a-Lago as a literal panty raid.

Trump addressed the issue when discussing his efforts this year to rename the Gulf of Mexico the “Gulf of America.” He didn’t change the name before, he said, because he had “bigger problems to deal with.”

“I had these animals trying to attack me at Mar-a-Lago,” he said, in apparent reference to the FBI raid on his Florida resort and home. The agency was executing a search warrant related to its investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents.

“They went into my wife’s closet,” he continued. “And I will say this: number one, it’s really bad, but it sounds a little strange.”

It was then that he mentioned the first lady’s unmentionables.

“They looked at their drawers. You have a drawer and then you have a drawer,” the president said, emphasizing the double meaning of the word by miming opening a drawer and holding up a pair of underwear. “They looked at both of them. And she’s a very meticulous person.”

It wasn’t exactly brief.

“Everything is perfect,” he continued. “Her underwear, sometimes called panties, are folded, perfect. Wrapped. They’re so perfect. I say, ‘That’s beautiful.’ 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.”
