That's why Americans like Melania Trump
Facts, numbers and curiosities
Americans have rethought it and love it. Even more than her husband. According to the latest poll by the CNN broadcaster, 52 percent of Americans have a positive image of Melania Trump.
THE MOST UNPOPULAR PRESIDENT
The first public appearances after the investiture of her husband Donald Trump were not positive. An Orc signature survey indicated that 32 percent of her population disapproved of her as first lady, while 3 percent of her had never heard of her. The American tycoon is the most unpopular president of the last 50 years in the United States: 53 percent have an unfavorable opinion of him.
THE SUCCESS AMONG THE REPUBLICANS
But now Melania really likes. Among the fans of the first lady, 58 percent are men and 86 percent are Republicans. Perhaps from there the decision of the former Slovenian model to make red her favorite color of hers. Former President Barack Obama always said that "there is no red America nor a blue America. There is the United States of America ". But red is the color of the conservatives, just as red was the cap of Trump's “Make America great again” campaign.
FIRST LADY IN RED
Melania Trump wore red at the Saint Patrick's celebrations (where green garments are traditionally worn), but also at the meeting with Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny. To receive German Chancellor Angela Merkel, she wore a red coat from designer Alice Roi. The sunglasses were Gucci and Jimmy Choo shoes. The color strategy is not original: red was the required color in the outfits of former first lady Nancy Reagan. But maybe it was she who inspired her. For Valerie Steele, fashion historian and director of the Fashion Institute of Technology, the idea of red America is conservative, dating back to the early 1980s. In an interview with the New York Times you said that "it could be the death of Nancy Reagan that has associated red with the Republican Party".
THE SADNESS OF MELANIA
While Donald Trump is engaged in political wrangling over the approval of the health care reform and the Russiagate investigation, part of the American press is devoted to the state of mind of the first lady. The US Weekly reports the statements of a first lady stylist who says that "she feels miserable next to her husband". It seems that Melania Trump was shocked by her husband's victory and if she already felt uncomfortable in the election campaign, let alone a four-year presidential term. She married a very media entrepreneur, not a politician.
SEPARATE ROOMS
According to Us Magazine, Melania has decided to stay on the sidelines of her husband's life as president of the United States, leaving room for her daughter Ivanka Trump, more ambitious and prepared for that sector (here the article by Formiche.net). “The president and his wife share the same room on very rare occasions. […] They don't sleep together when they stay in the same city, ”the newspaper wrote. In addition, Melania Trump has a (glam) room all to herself in the White House (here the article by Formiche.net).
"People close to the first lady say that Melania spends the essential minimum time with Donald - continues Us Magazine - and she does not want to know anything about the presidency". For the Washington Post, everything can be discussed, but not about the private habits of the presidential couple.
DAMAGES AND PERSONAL SUFFERING
It would seem that behind the alleged depression of Melania Trump there may be the fury of some of the international press. The first lady sued the Daily Mail newspaper in August 2016 for insinuating that she worked in an escort agency when she lived in Milan and New York. You asked for $ 150 million in damages. Her lawyer, Charles Harder, explained that "the newspaper's claims are false and defamatory and have caused serious damage to Melania Trump's personal and professional image and possible economic losses, as well as great humiliation and personal suffering". Blogger Webster Tarpley was sued for similar allegations.
