WHAT DOES MELANIA TRUMP THINK?
A new unauthorized biography attempts to unravel Melania Trump's role in the White House and answer the big question.
There have been several attempts to find out what is hidden under the glossy veneer that covers First Lady Melania Trump, and to unravel the almost four years that she has lived in the East Wing of the White House. The question is always the same: "what are you thinking?" Each of those who have tried seems to use a number of anonymous sources and Sean Spicer to complete the picture, but they all use similar threads. The first lady is smarter than she lets on. She supports her husband and his more racist conspiracy theories, like [the hoax that Obama was born in Africa], so any claim that she is "part of the resistance" is simply wishful thinking. He trusts her because she supports him without seemingly ulterior motives, etc.
The latest unauthorized biography, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Mary Jordan's Melania Trump, published Tuesday in English, also reiterates some of these broad traits. The revelation in the Washington Post excerpt is that Melania's belated arrival at the White House at the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency was simply a matter of influence. She reportedly wanted to renegotiate her prenup and freshen up after the alleged issues that came up in the elections, and the tape of "grab them by the pussy" affected her.
Plus, as Jordan writes, it's that Melania's lost time in Washington was a head start for Ivanka Trump. Among other proposals, Ivanka suggested changing the name of the 'Office of the First Lady' to the 'Office of the First Family,' writes Jordan. “Melania did not allow that to happen. It was tradition, and she was not going to let her stepdaughter changed it. ”After her father appointed Ivanka as a counselor, the first daughter used the White House theater and other" perks "in her spare time. Melania put an end to that when she finally arrived. She closed the" revolving door. "to Ivanka with" firm limits ", according to Jordan.
Melania's spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, has denied to People that any of this is true: "Another book on Mrs. Trump with false information and sources," Grisham said. "This book belongs to the genre of fiction."
Genre of fiction or not, most discussions of the dynamic between stepmother and stepdaughter tend to revolve around the real influence they have on a man that we all need to think about whether we like him or not. Ivanka obviously solved LGBTQ problems on behalf of the world by talking to her father, as well as posting a few tweets during Pride. But as Spicer, the administration's first loyal spokesperson, told Jordan, Melania's view is more subtle: “Melania is very behind the scenes but she is incredibly influential. She is not a person who walks in and says, 'Hire this person, fire this person.' But she lets the president know what she thinks and she takes her opinions very seriously. "
She has her own path, apparently. It may not be obvious, but it works for both of us. Like, for example, her birthday on Sunday, they sure celebrated together in some way. Perhaps there was a private exchange of words. Possibly they had a meal. She didn't need to meet the president where she is (on Twitter) to say happy birthday, so she didn't offer a little birthday wish.
However, he tweeted a happy birthday to the Army on Sunday, and if you really think about it, Trump is the Army. And what does she love more than her own show of strength or, you know, actual strength? Not much! So, in a way, isn't it romantic for this fun couple to say happy birthday to the military on the president's birthday?
They have always shown love in strange ways; that does not mean it is not there. Small gestures and half-hearted attempts to smile when told, 'This is what nice third wives do.' Using her presence as a lever to renegotiate her prenuptial agreement so that her husband doesn't take his own son out of the family business? That is more. So, yeah, happy birthday to the "Army". Congratulations on another year of marital happiness.
