Melania's "speechwriter" BUSTED for offering a Photoshopped pic of herself w/ Trump as "evidence"



Meredith McIver
?@imeredithmciver

@DanGurewitch This is offensive. Here's your proof, "Dan"

That was in response to:

https://twitter.com/DanGurewitch/status/755865464602038272

"Relax everyone, it's me, real person speechwriter Meredith McIver"



And TODAY, we have THIS which was re-Tweeted by Keith Olbermann):

Guys, the @imeredithmciver profile is fake. See photo from her acct (a photoshopped w/ Trump) versus the real one.

Back in 1995, the Clinton White House was having some fun with the country, and a Socks the Cat fan club was started. Members would receive cards and periodic updates from the First Feline. Naturally, this captured the attention of congressional Republicans, who launched an investigation (Yeah, Dan Burton was involved, why do you ask?) into whether any taxpayer money was being wasted on this bagatelle. I'm not sure how much money was spent trying to track down whether any White House staff or stationery was being used for the fan club, but as usual, the Republican pecksniffs found nothing.

So yeah, if the Trump campaign and the Republicans have to spend time and money trying to prove that Meredith McIver is a real person, I'm okay with that. Call it another payback under the Goose-and-Gander Principle.

It gets better...

Now Piers Morgan claims he's spoken with McIver before. She offered this photo as proof on her twitter:

I didn't even need to see the second pic. As a Photoshop junkie, the "feather halo" is my arch nemesis!

This whole thing is hilarious. Is Meredith McIver someone who died a long time ago and Donald uses her identity whenever he wants?



Or maybe Donald Trump killed McIver and has been covering it up the whole time...

lmaooo

My theory is that that twitter account is straight up trolling. Doesn't mean "meredith mciver" is actually real or not, but the twitter account is someone fucking around.

But she's some sort of mid-level lackey the Trumps keep hidden from the media (aside from stuff like this) and trot out behind press releases when someone screws up to take the fall.
