TOTAL CHAOS: Trump hijacks an economy speech to relitigate the Mar-a-Lago raid—then stuns the crowd by fixating on Melania’s “panties drawer,” insisting everything was “folded, perfect.” Gasps. Awkward silence. Viral backlash within minutes. But what happened right after the cameras cut is what has aides in full panic…

President Donald Trump sparked fresh controversy on Tuesday after veering sharply off-topic during what was billed as an economic policy speech, delivering a rambling and widely criticized monologue that left audiences stunned.

While revisiting his long-running grievances over the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search, Trump abruptly began describing First Lady Melania Trump’s personal belongings, specifically referencing her underwear drawer.

“Everything is perfect,” Trump said, claiming her undergarments—“sometimes referred to as panties”—were “folded, perfect,” as he argued the raid was unnecessary and invasive.

The unusual remarks triggered immediate backlash across social media, with critics calling the comments inappropriate, unsettling, and emblematic of a speech that quickly unraveled.

Even some allies appeared visibly uncomfortable as Trump struggled to return to economic talking points.

Within minutes, clips of the moment went viral, reigniting debate over Trump’s public conduct and mental focus as aides reportedly scrambled backstage to contain the fallout.

What was intended as a message about the economy instead became another headline-grabbing episode—raising new questions about what happened after the cameras stopped rolling.
