Melania Trump renegotiated her marriage contract before she arrived at the White House
After the election of Donald Trump, the first lady had voluntarily delayed her arrival in the official residence of the president, details the “Washington Post”.
It has been a well-kept secret since Donald Trump came to power. When he was elected in 2016, the 45th President of the United States left his luggage at the White House without his wife Melania Trump. Several rumors had then run about the real reason for this ignition delay. In The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania, Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan reveals that Melania Trump willfully delayed her arrival at the White House to use it as leverage to renegotiate her marriage contract.
The American daily, which had access to the manuscript, published the correct pages. "The future first lady needed to relax and change her financial arrangement with Donald Trump," said the Washington Post. According to Mary Jordan, the original marriage contract was not generous enough and did not financially secure her future.
Suspicious explanations
Officially, the White House had given explanations that Melania Trump had delayed her arrival so as not to interrupt the education of Barron, the couple's son, in New York. Some media had suggested that tensions existed between Donald and Melania Trump. Critics had also emerged over the cost of ensuring the safety of the First Lady.
To write her book, the Washington Post reporter conducted nearly a hundred interviews with personalities who have rubbed shoulders with Melania Trump. She traces the life of Donald Trump's third wife, from her childhood in Slovenia to her arrival at the White House. Often reputed to be shy and withdrawn from her husband's decisions, she is here described as a strong personality, whose thirst for power is not far from that of the American billionaire.
