US presidential election

She is preparing to once again take on the role of First Lady of the United States. This Wednesday, November 6, Melania Trump appeared with a smile on her face alongside Donald Trump to celebrate her husband's victory in the American presidential election. The ex-model dressed in an elegant gray suit was part of the family photo, alongside their son Barron, aged 18 and who voted for the first time.

A rare presence, Melania Trump having been very discreet throughout her husband's campaign although she had been very present in 2016. Aged 56, Donald Trump's third wife appeared with a closed face during a fundraiser. fund organized in Palm Beach last April, as well as at the Republican National Convention, where she did not speak. But she did not attend the highly anticipated debate against US President Joe Biden. Nor to the multiple trips of her husband while Douglas Emhoff, the husband of Kamala Harris, has not let go of the Democratic candidate for one step. A striking contrast.

She focuses on her son's education

Freed from her role as First Lady, Melania Trump has remained in the shadows in recent years, navigating between Florida and New York, far from her husband and his multiple legal setbacks. Wanting to shield her son Barron from media attention, she focused on raising the young man who entered college at NYU Stern School of Business. Since the death of her mother last January, Melania Trump has also spent a lot of time with her father Viktor Knavs.

She also takes care of her real estate investments as well as her jewelry line launched in 2021 (new window) and called Melania Timepieces and Jewelry, which she sells through QVC, a home shopping channel. It also offers limited edition Christmas decorations on the website usamemorabilia.com (new window)

She publicly defends the right to abortion

She also resurfaced a few months ago to promote her memoir published in October and in which she looks back on her youth in communist Slovenia, her modeling career in New York and the launch of a jewelry line. If she does not make any shocking revelations, she does reveal her firm support for the right to abortion. A snub to Donald Trump?
