Melania Trump on her husband: "I give him my advice and he always does what he wants"
The First Lady, consort of the most controversial president of the United States in history, has spoken. Melania Trump (born in Novo Mesto, now Slovenia, former Yugoslavia, April 26, 1970), the third wife of the most powerful man on Earth, has gone to Kenya and has spoken exclusively for the ABC network, a particularly critical medium with her husband.
She herself is not without controversy, although not as many as those that her husband stars in every day. For example, we have that of the famous jacket that had I really don't care, do u? Written in capital letters on the back. (I don't care, do you?) When he visited the families separated at the border in McAllen (Texas), a gesture that led many to wonder if he did not care about the suffering of the migrants or if on the contrary It was about a message against her husband. "It was a message for the left-wing media attacking me and I wanted to show them that I didn't care about criticism," she said in the interview.
She says that what she likes least about being first lady are "the things people say about me not being happy in the White House, not even living there, feeling miserable in my marriage, or not up to date on anything. ".
On the divorce rumors, she asked directly whether she loves her husband, she replied: "Yes. We are fine. What the media speculates and rumors is not always true." And he also said that he supported Donald to achieve the second term: "I think he is doing an incredible job for this nation and I want the people of the United States to succeed. So whatever he decides I will support him," she said.
Melania has a certain sense of humor and for example when she was asked about her friends, she said that she in Washington prefers to be cautious. "If you want to have friends in Washington, buy a dog", she joked, recovering the famous phrase of Harry Truman, predecessor of her husband in the White House. Portrayed as a lonely woman, she said on television that she has "the same group of friends as before" and clarified that she prefers quality over quantity: "I have a small group of friends. I keep in touch with them by phone and text messages," she said. .
Melania, however, did not have the courage to get involved in more delicate issues such as sexual harassment, infidelities or the scandal of the porn actress Stormy Daniels, who has walked through the sets describing the penis of her husband, literally. "This is not a concern that is among my priorities. I am a mother and first lady and I have more important things to worry about," she said, dodging the bullets as best she could. "I am the first lady but I am also a mother and wife, so I keep some private thoughts to myself. We better leave it here," she subtly begged her interlocutor.
Regarding her position regarding the #METOO movement, she stated how she could not be otherwise than supporting women. "They have to be listened to", but he corrected, dangerously: "Sometimes women have gone too far. If someone is accusing someone, you are saying that they are guilty without presumption of innocence. I do not believe in that," he qualified, listing his discourse clearly towards the theory of false complaints.
Regarding the influence she exerts on her husband, and therefore on national and world politics, she admits that he tells her "who she can trust and who she can't" and admits that there are people who work for him who she doesn't trust, " and some of them no longer work for him, "he said. Another aspect of the influence of the First Lady on her husband was when they discussed the subject of their commented and more than controversial visit to the border: "It was unacceptable for me to see children and parents separated. It was disheartening.
I reacted with my own voice, I went to the border and collaborated with the border police, "he explained. But that trip, let's remember, was for many a frontal confrontation against the policies of her husband. "I told him at home that it was unacceptable and he felt the same way," and she revealed that that was the reason the president backed down. However, she had to admit that he doesn't always listen to her at all. "I would like to. I give him my advice and opinions and he does what he wants," she finished with resignation.
