Why is Donald Trump's wife Melania going to be talked about?
Former model with a discreet profile, she is often next to her husband. And when Melania Trump speaks, it is to go along with the absurd ideas of Donald, the businessman who has become President of the United States. But who really is the new First Lady?
A DISCREET WOMAN
She is always there, alongside Donald Trump during social events. But Melania rarely speaks. A woman of the shadows, she broke her silence in November 2015 to speak to reporter Barbara Walters - a friend of the Trump family. Why this discretion? "We have a 9-year-old together, Barron, and I'm looking after him, he's at an age where you need to have a parent at home," she told the reporter. Words that will not offend her husband, used to misogynistic and macho outings.
SHE IS ALSO A BUSINESS WOMAN
Despite her speech as a devoted wife to her husband, Melania Trump does not hide her desire to exist apart from her husband. In 2010, moving away from her husband's political ambitions, she launched her jewelry brand, "Melania Timepieces & Jewelry" and, three years later, a cosmetic line, "Melania Caviar Complexe C6". Beyond business, she is also involved with charities and is a Goodwill Ambassador for the Red Cross.
SHE ALREADY SEEN HER JACKIE KENNEDY
Interviewed by The New York Times in 1999, a year after starting her relationship with the businessman, she was asked what role she would like to play if her husband ever became president. “I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy. I would give him my support. "
IT DUSTS THE IMAGE OF THE REPUBLICANS
On Donald Trump's arm, the former model is Trump's sexy asset. She befriends celebrities and doesn't blush when talking about the half-naked magazine covers. The couple met at a New York Fashion Week party in 1998.
OF SLOVENIAN ORIGIN, SHE SUPPORTS HER HUSBAND'S IDEAS ON IMMIGRATION
Born in a small town in Slovenia - then the state of Yugoslavia - Melania came to the United States at the age of 17. When her husband displays populist ideas on immigration, (the construction of a wall between the United States and Mexico, the expulsion of foreign criminals ...), Melania displays her unwavering support: “I went through a long process to become an American citizen. People must obey the law. "
A ROUTE THAT MAY APPEAR AMERICANS
Born to a father in the Communist Party and becoming the First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump has a story that may appeal to Americans. Starting from next to nothing, she leaves her humble background to seek - and find - glitter in America. She finds a good match, and builds her modeling career. She poses for many magazines, John Galliano designs her wedding dress, and she claims to live easily with her husband and son. A speech in which we only half believe.
A SPEECH THAT MAKES SCANDAL
In July 2016, in Cleveland, Melania Trump gave a speech in support of her husband. A nice speech warmly applauded by his fans. Until the moment when Internet users reveal that this text was entirely plagiarized from an old speech by Michelle Obama, in 2008. Sinking even further into the lie, she even claimed that she had written it herself! After Michelle Obama's reign over the White House, Melania Trump will usher in a new era among the First Ladies ...
