Melania Trump: 6 tips to shine as a first lady
Third wife of Donald Trump, the former model of Slovenian origin will be the next American First Lady. Survival guide.
Melania Trump is at the foot of a mountain. At 46, the wife of the future American president has the piercing gaze of a botoxed feline, a height of 1.80m, an Eastern European accent to be cut with a knife and many detractors who are just waiting for a blink of an eye to laugh at her. On January 20, 2017, she will succeed the very popular Michelle Obama as First Lady. Here are six little tips for succession planning.
1 - Never apologize
Yes, Melania Trump is a former model. Yes, she dresses like a heroine from the Dynasty series and is the third wife of a man 24 years her senior. And yes, she did create a cosmetics brand called Melania ™ Caviar Complexe C6. Nothing to do with stilted Laura Bush, Hillary Clinton or Nancy Reagan. So much the better. “Never explain, never complain”. Rule # 1 is never to apologize for being the way you are. Like a Bridget Jones who goes crazy, she will know how to impose her style and win the affection of the public.
For example: continue to wear tops called "Pussy-Bow", afford a 75th facelift and launch a reality TV program called "How to Marry a Billionaire
2 - beware of Ivanka
In the aftermath of the US presidential election, it is already rumored that Donald Trump's eldest daughter would be the “real” first lady. The Executive Vice President of the Acquisitions and Development Department of the Trump Organization and self-proclaimed muse of working American mothers has long teeth ... and intends to claim her due. Throughout the campaign, it served as a rhetorical antidote to the Republican candidate's misogynistic remarks. The idea of instituting paid maternity leave which suddenly appeared in the businessman's program in September would come from her. Meanwhile, Melania shunned the countryside, preferring to devote herself to her son, Barron. If she wants her reign to extend beyond the White House minions, Melania Trump must step in.
For example: Win the public's favor against the "daughter of" by giving a confessional interview to Ellen DeGeneres to tell how she, daughter of communists, built herself alone, leaving at 16 years old her native former Yugoslavia to conquer the world.
3 - Assume your ole-ole past
Yes, once Melania Trump posed nude in a boeing on a fur rug with a rhinestone collar on the cover of the UK edition of GQ. The whole world has seen these photos ... So what? Donald Trump was elected 45th President of the United States. The naked pictures have never killed anyone. Carla Bruni knows this by heart.
For example: auction the shooting accessories to donate the funds to a charity.
4 - find a good cause
As first lady, Melania obviously has to get involved in good works. Michelle Obama has campaigned for education and the fight against obesity. Melania said it Monday, November 7, during her solo speech: if she had the "privilege" of becoming first lady, she would be interested in those who "need it most", such as "women and children ". A rather easy positioning that she must refine to hit the mark and stand out from her husband.
For example: campaigning against mini-miss contests or the anorexia of young adolescent girls, helping immigrant women who, like her thirty years earlier, wish to settle abroad for a better future. Or, why not, create a foundation against moral and sexual harassment.
5 - surprise your detractors
For most commentators, Melania Trump is a pretty Barbie who has kept quiet in the countryside because she has nothing to say. They are only waiting for a word from the new first lady to make fun of her. The billionaire's wife must choose how she will mold the light that will obviously be shining on her. She has several assets in her boot. Non-graduate, she is the first First Lady to have been a model, and the second not to be born American (she was naturalized in 2006, a year after her marriage to Donald Trump). By dint of traveling, she speaks more than five languages (Slovenian, French, German, English, Serbian). Enough to become a legendary first lady.
For example: swinging from French to Slovenian in his interviews. Post a natural selfie on Instagram with the hashtag #Nomakeup to prove that she is human.
6 - Write your own speeches
We all remember the sinking of July 18, when Melania Trump plagiarized the entire passage of a Michelle Obama speech to talk about "the values her parents had instilled in her from a young age." A bad buzz later, Melania Trump was leaving the electoral campaign ... To return gently, Monday, November 7, with a premasked speech where she advocated the virtues of kindness and respect. It is enough. The American people (and us with) dream of hearing their true voice. For sure, this woman has a soul and a story that she cleverly confined to the marital penthouse on the 66th floor of the Trump Tower.
For example: using your own words, naturally. Melania can be reassured: it is partly this “cash” language that has earned her husband to be elected President of the United States.
