Melania and Donald Trump in the heart of an arranged marriage? A former collaborator affirms it
The marriage of Melania and Donald Trump is the source of many questions among American citizens. In addition to his politics, the controversial President of the United States clashes with the special relationship he seems to have with his wife. A former advisor takes a look behind the scenes.
Donald Trump has been so criticized since his inauguration that some of his fellow citizens sincerely wonder how anyone could endure him on a daily basis. The tempestuous American head of state has attracted the wrath of many politicians, including his own Republican camp as well as his collaborators. Never has the White House seen so much turnover as under his tenure, with the president firing his ministers and advisers in record time.
Thanked after the revelation of a financial scandal, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was just part of this growing team of former collaborators a bit bitter after their experience. Many shocking books and interviews revealing the backstage of power have regularly tainted the Trump presidency. But this time around, the critics are not pointing at his methods of governance. Stephanie Winston Wolkoff has indeed come to fuel rumors about the couple formed by the president and former model Melania Trump. For her, their relationship was the result of pure media arrangement.
"A transactional marriage"
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff told 60 Minutes Australia: “This is a transactional marriage. Everything they did was strategic. " For this former fashion executive, passed by Vogue and adopted daughter of heir to jeweler Harry Winston, the ambient pity expressed in public opinion towards Melania Trump is irrelevant. “What a normal woman could take that. Any. For her, it was just politics, ”she continued. According to the first lady's former best friend, Melania Trump said, “That's how it is, I know who I got married to. There are some things that don't need to be explained.
" Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who released a book called Melania and Me earlier this year, concluded: “He wanted the spotlight, he's a showman, and she was ready to do whatever he needed, that is to say stay by his side. So all this speculation about her heart and what she feels has to stop because there is nothing for her to feel. " Perhaps the public will then be able to focus fully on her husband, on the eve of presidential elections under pressure.
