If Donald Trump is often presented as unpredictable by the press, his allies and even his enemies, what about his wife Melania? The one who will return to her role as First Lady during the inauguration of her husband on January 20 for a second term as American president ensures that she retains her complete “independence”.
It remains to be seen who the former Slovenian top model is addressing, when, on Fox Newsshe said she “didn’t have a lot of support” during her first experience at the White House and that “some people” “saw her just as the president’s wife.”
She won’t say if that’s why she was so quiet during Donald Trump’s campaign, only showing up at the end of the race. On the other hand, she confirms her difference from her husband.
The misunderstood
“I stand tall in my boots, independent. I have my own opinions, my own yes and no. I don’t always agree with what my husband says. And that’s good,” she added during this interview with Fox & Friends.
A distance that she had already shown in her book, simply titled Melaniawhen she took a position in favor of the voluntary termination of pregnancy, affirming that women’s bodies belong to them. Donald Trump took advantage of his first term to make it almost impossible in several states.
Freedom of residence
She also believes “not to have been understood” by the public the first time. In fact, to avoid any questions about her whereabouts, the former model took the lead. If her “suitcases are already packed for Washington DC”, Melania Trump will be “at the White House” when necessary. However, when she “needs to be in New York,” where her son Barron is studying, or “in Palm Beach,” where the family’s Mar-a-Lago residence is located, that’s where she’ll be will find it there. “My priority is to be a mother, a first lady, a wife,” she added, in that order.
We will therefore have to expect an independent First Lady, who will do and say what she wants when she wants. That is to say the same one who, in 2018, while visiting a detention center for migrant minors, arrived wearing a khaki military parka, from the Zara brand, on which was written “I really don ‘t care, do you? “, or, in French, “I really don’t care, and you? » Melania Trump had officially come to find out how to reunite these children separated from their parents, the result of the zero tolerance policy on immigration voted by her husband Donald Trump.
