Melania Trump - from now on in the election campaign for her husband
Melania Trump is hardly noticeable next to her husband. According to experts, the first lady is doing a lot. Husband Donald, on the other hand, appreciates her calm manner. But in the presidential election campaign she will appear in public more often as first lady.
When Donald Trump is supposed to say something nice about his wife, he says "she's being treated unfairly, but people love her". When Melania Trump is asked if she loves her husband, she says, "Yes, we're fine," and what the media speculates about is gossip and not always right.
Melania Trump: Chemistry was right from day one
Two excerpts from television interviews that show how difficult it is to find out about America's first couple. No public fooling around like the Obamas, no emphasized solidarity like the Bidens. Mr and Mrs Trump instead give the impression that they don't have much to talk about. Not a good prerequisite for campaigning together. Even though Melania Trump once said the chemistry between the two of them was right from day one.
No holding hands with Donald
Maybe it's her accent that always makes her seem a little inhibited. Maybe she just doesn't like public appearances and that's why she got this armor made of long hair, lots of make-up, tight-fitting clothes and high heels, which always makes her seem very distant - even to her own husband, with whom she apparently doesn't likes to hold hands.
Wild party life in the 90s
Observers are fairly certain that the 50-year-old is stronger than she seems. In the mid-90s, the native Slovenian came to New York as a model and met the very wealthy Donald Trump. Photos from that time suggest a wild party life. She became his third wife and mother of his fifth child.
Trump appreciates her calm manner
"She has a good manner, she is very calm, she has good judgment," Trump said the other day about his wife. The First Lady left uncommented the fact that her husband had hushed up his former lover. But sometimes she sends small signals that she disagrees with her husband. It can't be a coincidence that she campaigns against bullying on the Internet, where her husband jokes around there every day, can it? Book author Mary Jordan believes Melania Trump is pulling the strings behind the scenes. "If you want to be hired and not fired in the White House, you have to stand by Melania's side," Jordan told PBS.
Michelle Obama is the darling of the social networks
Today, in her speech in the newly renovated rose garden of the White House, her job is likely to be to fill in her husband's big blank: his lack of empathy. She will therefore paint a picture of Donald Trump as a family man, a caring father and a loyal husband.
The comparison with Michelle Obama becomes interesting. The previous first lady had made the Internet buzz with her speech the week before. The political platform Axios reported 7.5 million interactions in social networks, five times as many as in the speeches by Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Can Melania Trump keep up with that?
