Do Donald Trump and Melania Trump Really Love Each Other? In any case, a long Vanity Fair investigation seems to show that the First Lady is constantly belittled by her husband, especially as Ivanka takes up more and more space ...
The story had started off well. At 28, Melania Knavs meets Donald Trump at a party in New York. The businessman literally flashed the young model who accepted his phone number. It was in 1998. They start dating, the Slovenian assuring that what attracts him to him is not money, but that the future president of the USA is a "real guy". Seven years later, they get married. Everything is going well, "she does not make waves, she only speaks when asked to. She is very gentle," said Lisa Bytner, press relations officer at Trump Model Management. A perfect wife for Donald Trump, visibly tired of sharing the life of women of character: "Ivana was an intelligent woman and an entrepreneur. She was also very strong-willed and fighter. While Melania ... she really does not fight", explains the word of Federico Pignatelli, a close friend of the Trump. Until the day when Barron, the youngest of the family, arrives ...
35 years old, "a woman's best before date"
Everything changed when Melania learned of her pregnancy. According to the investigation of the American magazine, Donald Trump would have accepted the arrival of this baby on the condition that his wife finds "her body of yesteryear". "She promised that everything would be back to normal," said a source. "There was no 'How are you feeling?', No opening of doors so that it wouldn't fall. Just one: 'You wanted it'". However, statements firmly denied by the Trumps. She was 35, the "best before date of a woman," according to Donald.
The degrading comments towards his wife are linked. There is for example this intervention of Donald Trump on the set of Howard Stern: "If Melania had a horrible, excruciating car accident, I will continue to love her as long as her breasts are intact". Faced with this kind of humiliation, Melania does not rebel and follows a certain philosophy: "Live and let live", according to her friend Lisa Bytner.
With Ivanka Trump, it's tense
In 2005, Melania would have thought of leaving her husband, consumed by the misogynistic remarks of this one. Especially since Donald Trump's political career is gaining momentum and she never wanted him to become President of the United States. Hence his rather noticeable lack of interest in the role of First Lady: "A First Lady usually comes with partnerships, you come with a team. They have no one," explains a source at Vanity Fair. It is therefore the eldest daughter of her husband, Invanka, who now manages this aspect of things from an office set up for her in the White House, which makes the relationship between these two women rather cold.
Will Melania stay with Donald Trump until the end of his term? A friend of the couple wants a completely different scenario: "That Michelle Obama convinces her to leave him and that she becomes this great feminist icon. That she shakes up everything and that she says: 'He's crazy. It's delusional. I don't know what I was doing! '"
