Melania Trump renegotiated the prenuptial agreement after Trump's victory in the presidential elections
A new biography, written by The Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan, portrays the first lady
The first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, negotiated before her arrival at the White House after the electoral victory of President Donald Trump a new prenuptial agreement, according to a book quoted this Friday by The Washington Post newspaper. .
"The art of her deal: The untold story of Melania Trump," written by Post reporter Mary Jordan, indicated that the time the first lady was gave not to interrupt the school year of his son Barron, who was then 10 years old, also served to reach a new agreement that guaranteed the rights of his first-born.
Jordan, based on the testimonies of three people close to Trump, points out that Melania sought to ensure that Barron had dual citizenship in Slovenia and that in relation to "financial opportunities and inheritance" he would have the same treatment as the three eldest sons of the ruler.
After a campaign peppered with complaints about alleged infidelities by the now president, his wife needed time to calm down and "to amend her financial agreement with Trump," which Melania referred to as a way of "taking care of Barron," Jordan says in work, which will go out to the public next Tuesday.
The 286-page book relates that the original agreement had not been very generous to the current first lady, who is Donald Trump's third wife and has been married to him longer than her other two partners. The play, based on more than a hundred interviews ranging from former classmates of the first lady to former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie, claims that Melania Trump seeks, like her husband, to create her own myth. .
"She is ... much more like him than she looks," wrote Jordan, who won a Pulitzer Prize in 2003. The author details, among other things, the support that the first lady has given to Trump's intention to reach the White House and participate in decisions such as the election of the current Vice President, Mike Pence.
"Melania not only accepted and embraced Trump's political aspirations, but she was also an encouraging partner," said the author. She even quotes a statement by Roger Stone, the president's aide who was sentenced to 3 years and 4 months in jail last February for lying to Congress and witness tampering, who stated: “She was the one who finally said, 'You know, Donald, stop talking about running for president and do it ... And if you compete, you're going to win. '
The reporter also describes the first lady as someone who moves on "and would never look back", alluding to the way she has closed her cycles, for example, with her friends in Slovenia or after leaving New York .
The White House discredited in 2018 a book that claimed that Trump did not want to be president and that he only ran for the 2016 election to achieve publicity and business, as well as an article that stated that Melania did not want to be the first lady of the United States « under any concept".
