Nicknames and low blows: the clash between Ivanka and Melania Trump is staged at the White House
For Melania Trump, Ivanka is a "princess". For Donald Trump's favorite daughter, the First Lady is a mute picture
Officially their a cordial relationship. Not tight, but friendly. The reality, however, appears to be decidedly different. That love never broke out between Melania Trump and Ivanka Trump, the wife and first daughter of US President Donald Trump respectively, is clear. Just look at them together in the photo. Or listen to what has been said for years before in New York and now in Washington, at the White House.
Melania Trump: the book of scandal
Today the United States of America has two First Ladies. An officer, Melania. An unofficial one, Ivanka, who, however, poses as if she were the real one. This is what transpires from the book by Washington Post correspondent Mary Jordan. The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump is a newly released book that is causing a lot of discussion in the US.
Because for the first time the myth of the former model at the mercy of Donald Trump's arrogance is demolished. The portrait that Mary Jordan makes is very far from the public image that has accompanied the 50-year-old Melania Knauss so far. And an example of this is her relationship that binds her to her husband's favorite daughter.
Princess Ivanka and the picture Melania
According to the journalist, Ivanka, since she was a young girl, has always nicknamed her stepmother "the portrait". Because, according to her, she spoke as much as a painting. That is zero. For her part, Melania, on the other hand, refers to the 38-year-old entrepreneur as "the princess". Given the consideration that her father has always had for her.
Ivanka, in fact, has become one of the closest and most listened to the tycoon's advisors. So much so that it has won a very large power in the White House. Witnessed by several appearances she made on behalf of her father. Like a real ambassador speaking on behalf of the President. Situations that have been heavily criticized, because Ivanka does not hold any official role nor has she been elected to any office.
But it is well known that she is the one whispering in her father's ear. And he rewarded her by giving her enormous power and visibility. If it were up to Ivanka she would be the First lady. And, in fact, she poses as such. Like when you tried to push through a change that would have been historic in the White House. In other words, transforming the First Lady's office, which has always been in the east wing of the house, into that of the First Family. In practice, formally putting himself on the same level as Melania.
Who is really Melania Trump?
The blitz, however, did not go well. Ivanka had tried in the first months of her father's presidency. When his wife had stayed in New York with her son Barron with the official excuse of letting him finish the school year. Today, as Jordan reveals, we know that those first six months were spent negotiating through lawyers for the prenuptial agreement between Melania and Donald Trump to be re-discussed. Ultimately, the former Slovenian model wanted written certainty that her son would be treated like the other 3 half-siblings, born from The Donald's wedding with Ivana Trump. For the record, there is also Tiffany Trump, born during her marriage to actress Marla Maples. But it seems like no one in the family ever takes her into consideration.
And this is where what we said before emerges. The real Melania Trump is not what she appears to be. She is as ambitious and unscrupulous as her husband, for example. “They are both of the fighters for whom loyalty is priceless, and neither of them has many close friends. Their “lonely instincts” also characterize their marriage », writes the journalist.
Aesthetic and political surgery
Melania, contrary to what has been believed so far, has always been in favor of her husband's descent into the field. Indeed, she encouraged him in choosing her. And when the wiretapping of her betrayals emerged, more than the affront against her wife and partner, what worried Melania was the possibility that such a scandal would cause him to lose the elections.
On a personal level, too, Mary Jordan's reconstruction is contrary to the common belief. So much so as to report the testimonies of photographers who worked with Mrs. Trump and who swear they saw the scars of cosmetic surgery. Always denied by the former model. Or again, the rumor about the 5 languages spoken by the First Lady is, in fact, just a belief. You know English and Slovenian. Maybe a few sentences in Italian, since you lived in Milan. But nothing more.
