In the plans of Melania Trump was set to release her memoir in fall 2024 and the general elections in which her husband has been re-elected President of the United States have not changed her plans, in fact, everything indicates that it has been a planned and bold decision within a campaign that has been totally different from the one that the Trump faced in 2016. “I have been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentations (…) I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I think it is important to share my perspective. The truth,” he said in a promotional video before his book, Melania , without his last name married, went on sale to become a bestseller. The First Lady managed to spend four years in the White House and still remain an enigma, in part because she measures her appearances well and has done so throughout the campaign. Now while The Trumps pack their bags to get to Washington Four years after leaving, it is time to analyze what Melania says in her memoirs beyond her childhood in Slovenia and the career as a model that casually led her to meet the real estate magnate who made her his third wife. These are the five bombs that were hidden in its pages:
She does not support all of her husband’s policies.
Donald Trump’s pro-life policies have divided the population and have been one of the most sensitive issues of this campaign. So it was surprising to discover that Melania is one of those who supports, at least in her book, the right of women to decide, which is precisely what Democrat Kamala Harris defended: “It is imperative to guarantee that women have the autonomy to decide.” their preference to have children, based on their own convictions, free from any government intervention or pressure,” he wrote. “I have carried this belief with me throughout my adult life.”
She is not a ‘gold digger’
Perhaps it is because of the age difference, 24 years, or because of the cliché of the mogul and the model, but Melania Trump has been forced to clarify that those capable of giving an opinion on the nature of her marriage with Donald Trump are making “baseless accusations.” “. The First Lady assured that she has a tender relationship with many tastes in common and that most of her wealth comes through her own businesses. Regarding this, we must remember that when Donald Trump lost the previous elections over Joe Biden, the idea circulated that outside the White House that marriage was broken, four years later they are still together and although she never dreamed of being the president’s wife, something What was evident at the beginning of Trump’s political career, it is now possible that Melania has already internalized and even enjoys a role that she has had to repeat.
Her son above the State: ‘I felt like I was attacking my son because he didn’t like my husband’
If Melania has shown anything, before, now and always, it is that His son Barron, who turned 18 in 2024, is his absolute priority. The First Lady has sought her emotional well-being above any plan or State commitment. It is obvious that it is easier to live as the son of a millionaire than as the son of a president and that caused Melania Trump many headaches, since Donald Trump’s first term coincided with a very complicated stage for Barron, adolescence. He The rest of Trump’s children (Donald Jr., Ivanka, Eric and Tiffany) were already adultsbut little Barron became the subject of criticism, ridicule and harassment, on and off social media. “It was irreparable damage,” considers Melania, who did everything she could to avoid public exposure. The First Lady assures that one of the worst comments was the one that came from the comedic actress, television producer and active Democrat, Rosie O’Donnell, who launched a tweet that she later deleted in which she asked if Barron was autistic. “There is nothing shameful about autism (although O’Donnell’s tweet implied there is), but Barron is not autistic. It was clear to me that she was not interested in raising awareness about autism. I felt like she was attacking my son because he didn’t like my husband,” says Melania.
On his friendship with Charles III
Against all odds given how opposed Charles III’s opinions are with Donald Trump on certain issues, from his environmental views to support for Ukraine, it turns out that according to Melania, she and the British king have a wonderful epistolary relationship. They are pen pals! The First Lady revealed that they came together in 2019 at a state banquet where they sat together where they sat together and described it as “an absolute pleasure to reconnect with him.” “Our paths had crossed many years ago in New York City. This time we struck up an interesting conversation about his deep commitment to environmental conservation,” she said. Will the famous state trip in which Donald Trump arrived in Buckingham to walk in front of Queen Elizabeth II be repeated?
The relationship with her husband’s children
Melania is the stepmother of Donald Jr., Ivanka and Eric, the result of the mogul’s first marriage to Ivana, and of Tiffany, the only daughter Trump had during his second marriage to Marla Maples, but the truth is that they have always been quite cordial and united with each other. However, this has not prevented the good relationship between Melania and her husband’s children from being frequently questioned. “It is a relationship based on love and respect, but I do not agree with all the opinions or decisions they make.” The First Lady, who handles diplomacy with ease, warns that “they share the same last name,” but their “paths” and ways of being can be very different. It is worth remembering that for a time the Ivanka’s presence in her father’s administration was so prominent that it gave the impression that there were two first ladies or that a “first daughter” overshadowed the “first lady.” Something that on the other hand could have been comfortable for Melania to not be constantly in the spotlight and to be able to dedicate herself to Barron. That “competition” did not last long, since little by little each one took his place in a White House that Donald Trump designed so that his children and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner, had a guaranteed position of weight.
