It won't go quietly ”: Melania is apparently thinking of Donald Trump's liberation strike - revelations possible
Donald Trump's wife Melania is fed up with gossip. Apparently she is writing a book about herself, her husband and the White House.
Washington - Unlike her predecessor Michelle Obama, First Lady Melania Trump was never really able to step into the limelight alongside her husband and US President Donald Trump. Neither in Trump's term of office nor in the election campaign did she play a major role as a political or charitable person. The media mostly focus either on her wardrobe - or on moments when Melania Trump probably felt unobserved.
Nonetheless, it is precisely these photographs and video recordings that shape the image of the former model: It is her smile that disappeared when Trump was inaugurated in January 2017 at the exact moment he turned away from her again. Or the pat she uses to push his hand away during a state visit to Israel. The public image of 50-year-olds is ambivalent at best. Their appearances together with the president usually leave a bad aftertaste, as they offer enough space for divorce rumors - especially since Trump's defeat in the election.
The woman behind Donald Trump: Melania Trump hits the counterattack
It is already the third marriage for Donald Trump. There has always been wild speculation about his relationship with Melania. These range from more innocuous reports of separate bedrooms to serious allegations of alleged affairs and sexual assault from before Trump moved into the White House. Several women have made such allegations against the incumbent US president, he has denied them all - and Melania did not comment on them either. In the past few years, she did mandatory appointments and smiled for the cameras, but the scenes with her husband often seem staged.
As several insiders are supposed to have reported, she did not want to become a first lady or move to the White House in Washington. Just recently, the US broadcaster CNN broadcast recordings from 2018: She was working her ass off for the Christmas decorations in the White House, but nobody was interested in her because of her husband's migration policy, Melania allegedly said at the time a phone call to her friend Stephanie Winston Wolkoffs. After the friendship ended, she published the book "Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship with the First Lady".
The woman behind Donald Trump: Melania hits the counterattack
Melania Trump may mostly act in the background and not be happy with her situation, but she has set accents that can be seen as a strong contrast to the nature and politics of her husband. The “Be Best” initiative she founded takes care of the well-being of children - in the summer of 2018, the First Lady is said to have spoken out against Trump's zero-tolerance policy against illegal immigrants on the Mexican border. And while she is campaigning against cyberbullying, her husband's Twitter activities are known to be more than controversial.
He was accused of a lack of empathy in the Corona crisis *, and expressed her deepest sympathy for the victims of the pandemic at an appearance in the rose garden. When Trump tested positive for the coronavirus and shortly before his discharge from the military hospital called on US citizens to “not be afraid of Covid”, Melania wrote: “If you are sick or if you have a loved one, who is sick, I think of you and will think of you every day. I pray for our country and I pray for everyone struggling with Covid-19 and other diseases or challenges. "
Video: is Melania getting a divorce after Trump's election defeat?
At the end of the Trump presidency *, all rumors about Melania and her marriage are picking up speed again: The most exciting question is what the 50-year-old plans to do after her time in the White House. Your own clothing line, paid advertising appearances or your own book would be conceivable. The online magazine PageSix is said to have learned from the First Lady's immediate environment that she has already started to write her memoir. However, these have not yet been titled as such, nor have they been completed - negotiations regarding their publication should already be underway. “It's not finished yet and won't be as quiet as many expect,” PageSix quotes an insider.
Melania is supposed to write on her memoir - the book could bring financial independence
But one thing is already certain: The first lady's book would most likely sell so well that Melania would be able to be financially independent of her husband for the first time in years. In addition, her “revelation stories” about her person, such as Wolkoff's book, which she described as “useless gossip that tries to distort my character”, are said to be more than angry.
With her own book she could publish her version of what happened and put herself back in the right light. Her husband is apparently even supposed to encourage her to do so - but it remains questionable whether Melanie could then not also reveal the truth about him and her marriage.
