Melania Trump unhappy in the White House: "She didn't sign for this life"
As she prepares to deliver an expected speech at the Republican Convention, Melania Trump has voluntarily been more discreet than the First Ladies who preceded her. If she has often withdrawn, it is also because the White House was not the life she dreamed of, observed journalist Kate Andersen Brower to the Parisian.
Melania Trump knows she is expected around the corner. This Tuesday, August 25, Donald Trump's wife is scheduled to deliver a speech at the Republican National Convention, which began earlier this week in the United States. If her audience relies heavily on this speech, it is because everyone knows that the first lady has no room for error this time. During her previous intervention in 2016, she was largely inspired by another speech by Michelle Obama, this time dating from 2008. An unfortunate episode following which Melania Trump had felt "devastated": "She did not 'was more herself (...) She isolated herself, she was discouraged, torn with guilt (...) All she originally wanted was to go up there, give a great performance and a big win, "journalist Kate Bennett said in her book Free, Melania.
This speech of the First lady is also important because the latter, if she manages to convince, could succeed in influencing the voters to vote for her husband: "The First Ladies have the possibility of influencing the voters, in general by humanizing their husbands. and arguing that the country needs him in power, "said journalist Kate Andersen Brower, this Tuesday, August 25, in the columns of the Parisian. However, according to this specialist in First Ladies, Donald Trump's wife could have less impact than those who preceded her, because "she is less visible". If she is often withdrawn, it is also because she did not dream of this life of First lady, as it could have been the case for others before her. "When she married Trump, she didn't sign for this life. I don't think she was happy in the White House," Kate Andersen Brower said.
Melania Trump is already thinking about the post-White House
Although she lives under the same roof as the President of the United States, she does not seem to see him often. In addition to being a separate room, Donald Trump would prefer to spend time in front of his television set rather than with his wife and their son Barron, who celebrated his 14th birthday during confinement. As the New York Times reported last April, it only happens "sometimes" to have dinner with his family. Not really fulfilled in this place of power, Melania Trump, although discreet and silent, is already thinking about her life after.
In the event that she would have to leave the White House in the event of her husband's non-re-election, she has already thought about her future. "There are a lot of things she could do. She's actually quite creative and very smart. I think she's vastly underrated, just because she's quiet," biographer Mary Jordan told CNN, last June. In the event of a fresh start, Melania Trump could therefore decide to go for it: "Once they leave the White House, it will be interesting to see if some of the things she has explained, about wanting her own business, to to design things, will become reality ". Like a revenge?
