Anna Paulina Luna
Representative Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) took to X (formerly Twitter) to respond to an article by the Daily Beast written about her and President Donald Trump, saying, "If people in POTUS orbit are talking to this author, they need to be cut off immediately. This is gross."
The Daily Beast reported that Alex Isenstadt's upcoming book about Trump, Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power, contains an incident in 2023 when Rep. Luna was on Trump's private jet.
Rep. Luna was pregnant at the time, and Trump supposedly said if she was feeling unwell, she could lay in his bed.
"Just don't tell Melania. She doesn't like other women on my bed," he allegedly joked.
Rep. Luna expressed disgust in her post responding to the article's implications, beginning by saying, "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."
The Florida Congresswoman explained that she experienced pre-eclampsia symptoms at this point in her 2023 pregnancy but had not been 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," Luna continued, adding, "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."
Luna further described Trump's behavior as "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 s**t hit piece. If people in POTUS orbit are talking to this author, they need to be cut off immediately. This is gross," Luna scathingly concluded.
