Donald and Melania Trump: a marriage that takes water according to the American press
An investigation published by Vanity Fair reveals the gloomy behind the scenes of the relationship between Donald and Melania Trump.
Many rumors have circulated about the couple Donald and Melania Trump since the US presidential elections. We had notably read that they were sleeping apart, that Melania did not seem happy (a hashtag #SaveMelania had even emerged on Twitter), that she did not want him to become President of the States -United ... In a long survey published a few days ago, the magazine Vanity Fair looks back on the marriage between the Slovenian model and the businessman who became the 45th President of the United States, and the less than the one can say, it is that it does not make one dream.
The magazine first of all recalls their meeting in a New York nightclub in 1998. Donald Trump, who had gone there accompanied by a young woman, waited for her to go to the bathroom to go see Melania, at the model era, and ask her for her phone number. An anecdote that sets the tone for their relationship.
A friend of Donald Trump, Federico Pignatelli explained that Melania liked Donald for her easy-going character, and therefore not very restrictive, unlike that of his ex-wife, Ivana: “Ivana was an intelligent, enterprising woman. She also had a brawling personality. With Melania ... there aren't really any arguments ”.
A woman trophy
The fact that Melania Trump does not make waves is not the only reason why she liked Donald Trump. Beyond his physique as a model, the article reports a role consisting mainly of reassuring the businessman about his virility via rather humiliating interventions. In 1999, shortly after they met, Melania Trump took part in a radio-broadcast conversation between Donald Trump and presenter Howard Stern. As Donald Trump explains that he would continue to love Melania as long as her breasts remain intact, the host asks him to talk about their sex life. The mogul contacts his wife, to tell her that they have sex more than once a day, and confides that she is almost naked as she speaks. On another evening, he asked her, in front of acquaintances, to say how good a husband he was. She simply repeated what he had said, an act sufficient to satisfy him.
The pinnacle of Melania Trump's objectification came six months after their marriage. She told her husband of her wish to get pregnant, to which he consented, only "on condition that she finds the same body immediately afterwards", something she promised him.
A campaign that upset their balance
However, despite her “live and let live” philosophy and the fact that she said she was very aware of the way the person she married was doing, the article reveals that Melania Trump was “terrified of the situation. 'idea that he can win ”during the presidential election. A fear that would partly explain his lack of involvement in the campaign. The article also evokes rumors about her desire for a divorce, born after the broadcast of her husband's remarks about women and the fact that he "grabs them by the pussy", an exit that she ended up defending. publicly.
A person close to the Trumps said: “My dream is for Michelle Obama to persuade her to leave him, and to become a great feminist icon. She'll shake up everything and say, “He's crazy. It's crazy. I don't know what I was doing ””. It is true that in her case, feminist activism would be the best way out.
