Melania Trump: a first lady with nothing to hide
The former model, born in Slovenia, is still being blamed for her almost pornographic nudity and the plagiarism of her predecessor's speech in the White House, Michelle Obama
Melania Trump, the queen of copy-paste after plagiarizing Michelle Obama's electoral speech, has become the first lady of the United States this morning, an achievement considering her Slovenian origin and, more importantly, in such a conservative society like the American, her pornographic past. The 46-year-old ex-model's committed résumé does not seem to have subtracted a single vote from her husband. Quite the opposite.
Her low profile during the electoral campaign, where she has limited herself to smiling in her role as a vase woman with a single intervention at a rally, has aroused the sympathy of a sector of the female population that has been reflected in her in comparison with the high intellectual level of Hillary Clinton, the defeated adversary of her husband.
Melanija Knavs, her real name, was born in the industrial city of Sevnica on April 26, 1970, under the communist regime of the former Yugoslavia of Marshal Tito that she always disowned. Her father, Viktor Knavs, was a car salesman as well as a member of the Slovenian Communist Party, and her mother, Amalia, worked in a textile factory. Her family lived in a modest apartment building next to the Primary School where she is still remembered today as a good student who, from a very young age, dreamed of dedicating herself to the world of fashion.
At the age of 16, she moved to Ljubljana, the Slovenian capital, to start her high school studies until one day photographer Stane Jerko discovered her. Her career as a model was born, which she tried to reconcile with her studies. Mission Impossible. Finally, she only studied one year of the Architecture career. Her statuesque body of 1.80 meters high and her beautiful blue eyes made her one of the most sought-after top-models of the time, a regular on the catwalks of Paris or Milan, so in 1996 she decided to leave her native country to move to New York, with a work visa, in search of his particular American dream, appearing on the covers of such prestigious fashion magazines as 'Vanity Fair', 'Vogue' and 'Elle'.
Captivated by her beauty
In 1998, Trump met her at a party in Manhattan and fell in love with her beauty, so from that moment the billionaire, recently separated, decided that she should become her third wife despite being 24 years younger than he. And all this despite the fact that he was rejected after asking for the phone number since, according to the former model in an interview, the businessman was with another woman at the time. She didn't care. Trump always gets everything he wants and they started dating.
It is not known if Melania did not see much future in the relationship because she, in 2000, she dared to pose nude for the UK magazine 'GQ'. Curiously, the photo session was taken on the private jet of the American millionaire, a controversial decision that, apparently, did not prevent the tycoon from asking his parents for their hand in 2004 at the restaurant of the Gran Toplice Bled hotel, a luxury establishment located in the Julian Alps, northwest of Slovenia.
Luxury wedding
They ended up getting married on January 22, 2005 in a big wedding in Florida attended, who was going to say, Hillary Clinton herself, accompanied by her husband. The bride wore a Dior dress valued at $ 200,000. A year later, their son, Barron Trump, who is now 10 years old, was born.
Melania was unconditionally supportive of her husband when he launched himself into the White House race. Since November last year, she became his shadow, although she did not hesitate to give the media prominence to Ivanka, daughter of the billionaire's first marriage and one of his main advisers. For his part, Trump, 69, always did his best to appear in a multitude of electoral events with his beautiful woman, who has known how to capitalize on his past on the catwalk. And she always responded with praise as when she said, with a foreign accent that he has not been able to tame: "He will be the best president in history. I love you!"
In that sense, Melania, who has declared herself an admirer of Reagan, represents a very important part of American society: homemakers who do not work and who dedicate themselves body and soul to their families. Not surprisingly, her husband said years ago that "having a working wife is a very bad idea, because if I come home and dinner is not there, I will shout to heaven" or "I have never changed a diaper, that's something of women". Everything seems to indicate that the first lady perfectly meets that profile, especially when she now calls herself a defender of morality and good manners, at the same time that she promises to dedicate herself to causes in solidarity with those most in need. "She is an impressive mother, an incredible woman," says the new US president of her.
The fact is that Melania has become the second foreign lady of the United States after the British Louisa Adams, wife of the president of the United States, John Adams (1825-1829). Likewise, she is the first to have been raised in a country with a communist regime and to have been photographed naked. None of that matters anymore. Trump's wife must now make us forget the incredible charisma of Michelle Obama, which she shone with her own light during all the years of her husband's tenure. Although, after plagiarizing her speech, it seems that she is not going to have any chance to overshadow her as the woman of the most powerful man on the planet.
