I was beginning to think that people hated the press enough, but I was wrong, and for that, I apologize. Truly, there is no bottom to what “journalists” will say to slap President Donald Trump, and this latest example might be the worst I’ve ever seen. I say that knowing that within days, the bar will no doubt be lowered further, but bear with me.
The source here is The Daily Beast, one of the worst mainstream press outlets in existence, and this story delivers on that reputation. According to Erkki Forster, who also covers the “LGBTQ+ community” (because, of course, he does), Trump once “offered a female congresswoman his bed, as long as she kept it a secret from his wife.” That “revelation,” as the sub-headline proclaims it, comes from a new book written by Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt.

Now, if you were to only read the headline, you’d think this was pretty bad, right? Trump, having been quite the philanderer in his younger days, must have recently tried to have an affair with a female congresswoman while urging her not to let his wife know. This could blow up into a big thing, right?
Well, you’d think that until you actually read the story.
Donald Trump once offered a MAGA newcomer his bed while she was feeling unwell, but told her to keep it a secret from Melania, according to a new bombshell book.
The president made the offer aboard his personal jet in 2023, when Florida Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna, 35, was pregnant.
“If you need a bed to lay down in, there’s one here on the plane. If you feel sick and you need to lay there, you can lay on it,” Trump reportedly told Luna.
“Just don’t tell Melania. She doesn’t like other women on my bed,” he joked.
The comments, revealed in Axios reporter Alex Isenstadt’s new book Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump’s Return to Power, cast new light on the president’s eyebrow-raising marriage to Melania Trump.
Yes, your eyes do not deceive you. The big scandal here is that Trump once offered Rep. Anna Paulina Luna the chance to lay down on his private jet because she was pregnant and not feeling well. A major press outlet using another major press outlet as a source decided to run that headline despite the actual story being that Trump is nice and tries to help people. That’s a level of shamelessness most hacks can only dream of. Truly, next-level stuff from Forster, who I’m assured is a journalist.
What’s even worse is that Paulina Luna’s husband was on the flight and fully aware of the completely mundane offer. She explained what happened in a scathing post.
I seldom respond to nasty headlines because I don’t like giving trash credibility, however, being that there is allegedly a book coming out with me named and attacking @POTUS, his marriage, our first lady, and frankly implying something distasteful about me, I am responding.
I was very pregnant and at the time experiencing pre-eclampsia symptoms, but was not diagnosed. As soon as @realDonaldTrump boarded the plane, being the gentleman and good person that he is, said if I did not feel well, I could use the back room. He did this in a respectful way and in front of my husband, of which we thanked him. He also assured me that they had a medical team on board in case anything happened and they were aware of how pregnant I was.
This was the most compassionate thing that could’ve been done at the time. I find it disgusting that the author fails to recognize that. A few weeks later, I was induced because I did have pre-eclampsia. The author of this book never reached out to me for comment. Which means that this book is likely going to be a shit hit piece. If people in POTUS orbit are talking to this author, they need to be cut off immediately. This is gross.
What she says there at the end is exactly correct. Whoever fed this story to the press needs to be sent packing with prejudice. They clearly do not have the administration’s best interest at heart and have no business being anywhere near Donald Trump.
Ask yourself why Isenstadt even put this story into his book. What is newsworthy about it? The answer is that he knew it’d be taken out of context to push a silly narrative, and that’s exactly what happened. Members of the mainstream press have always been disgusting, but it took real effort to come up with something this gross. If any of these outlets still have press credentials at the White House, they should probably be revoked.
