Who is really Melania Trump? "A woman who doesn't need to be released"
The book by the CNN correspondent following the first lady reveals her secrets and tells it with a key word: freedom
His decorations in the White House are known to the world and his looks, in which yellow appears more than in any other VIP wardrobe, are very studied. We know that he cares about his son's privacy, which is right and obvious for Barron, who is still a minor. It is evident, however, that she also cares a lot about hers because of the first ladies, Melania Trump, she is the most inscrutable. What Melania thinks is a question that reporters have asked themselves several times and which is now answered in the book by Kate Bennett, a CNN reporter who follows her for work.
In Free, Melania, an unauthorized biography, but partly made with the help of the White House staff, who later disavowed her, the president's wife is much more in control of her life than is reported in the news. She is not the imprisoned Melania of memes, but a free and thinking woman.
According to the author, Melania is independent and feminist in her own way. "Not only does Melania have power and influence over the president, but perhaps she has more than anyone else in the White House." It is a hypothesis that resizes the role of the favorite daughter Ivanka, but which also shows how Trump's wife has redesigned the role of first lady on herself and her interests: a part time job, the son comes first. It has always participated in official commitments, but only in this third year has it increased its commitment to the Be Best campaign for the health of children against cyberbullying and opioids.
Melania's secret would be to not care what others think. “She doesn't care if they think she shares her husband's ideas as she stays married to him. She just does what she wants to do. ' "Don't worry about them but look and pass" Dante would have said. Precisely because of this personal choice of hers in managing the role, she would have in itself a form of feminism.
Although, when she is in the White House, they live on separate floors of the residence, her power is remarkable. In the book it is said that it was she who convinced him to run for office in 2016, more convinced than he of the victory and tired of hearing him talk about the hypothesis of the race for the presidency. In Washington, it has a staff of 10, half of what preceded it. Look at her husband's meals and don't forget to do pilates.
Another thing he does not neglect is to respond indirectly to his stepdaughter Ivanka. The jacket with the inscription I Really Don’t Care, which seems to be Melania's battle cry, worn while visiting immigrant children on the border with Mexico would have been addressed to her. He would have liked to point out that it wasn't all Ivanka's credit for softening the president's position.
What about Donald's escapades? Nothing that Melania did not know, but she also knows that "Trump desperately seeks his approval and his coldness in public is the answer to this." Especially when his family is touched. “I'm a mother and a first lady,” she said in the past, “and I have more important things to think about. I know that people and the media love to speculate on our marriage. "
