Melania has renegotiated prenuptial agreements with Trump
The Pulitzer Book Mary Jordan: "Ambitious and ready to build her myth
Ambitious and dedicated to building her myth. US First Lady Melania exerts a strong influence on Donald Trump and "she is much more like him than she appears". And when she kept postponing her move from New York to the White House, she did it too to press on Donald and more advantageously update his prenuptial contract. Revealing these aspects of the first lady's personality is "The art of her Deal: the untold story of Melania Trump", the work of a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist from Washington Post, Mary Jordan, who winks in the title of Trump's famous book "The Art of Doing Business".
Even Melania, according to what we read, is very attentive to her and Donald's affairs. And despite a vulgate that would like her to be critical and distant from her husband, see the popular hashtag #freeMelania, she has always supported him in her political career by also recommending Mike Pence as her deputy.
When the first lady chose to stay in New York in the first months of her presidency, she did so officially in order not to change the school of her son Barron in the middle of the year. She then she also spoke of coldness with Trump for her infidelities with other women revealed by the media. If this appears true, according to Jordan, Melania also took advantage of it to negotiate an update of the marriage contract with guarantees on the inheritance and the place in the family businesses for Barron. All this while people close to Trump, including at least one of the four children of her two ex-wives, begged her to go to the White House given her "calming" effect on the president.
Based on a hundred interviews with people who have known her, the 286-page book tells a story of a Melania who, like her husband, has always been careful to create her own myth ever since she left her life behind. in the former Communist Yugoslavia to build a modeling career. And every stage of her existence has broken the bridges with the contacts of the previous life. In her story she speaks five languages fluently and is a graduate, but Italian, French and German photographers of her when she was a model say that she actually spoke few words in their language. And she did not finish her university studies in Ljubljana.
In New York, Trump introduced her to everyone as a "supermodel", even though she really wasn't. And according to his agent at the time, Donald and Melania's relationship had begun before the famous first meeting at fashion week in 1998 when she didn't want to give him her phone number.
Melania "takes opportunities and puts a lot of effort into them. Then she proceeds without looking back," writes Jordan, according to whom the reserved Melania looks a lot like her husband. "Both are fighters who put loyalty on top of everything," and they are loners with few friends. They always sleep in separate rooms, but according to the people close to them they love each other, even if there are moments of coldness.
According to the author, "Melania not only accepted her husband's political aspirations, but she also encouraged them." Roger Stone, Trump's mentor sentenced to 40 months in prison for Russiagate, said she was the one who told her husband to break the delay and run for office. "Donald stop saying you want to run, do it. And if you do you will win," she would have urged him. Trump's first phone call after campaigning rallies for comment was always with Melania, former New Jersey governor Chris Christie said.
Melania would also have advised Trump to choose Mike Pence as his deputy. At the end of a weekend with him and his wife Karen he allegedly told Donald that Pence "would settle for the number 2 spot", as opposed to the other two possible candidates, Christie and Newt Gingrich. Jordan also writes Melania hopes for her husband's re-election and if she hadn't been for the coronavirus in March she would have attended an event to raise funds for the election campaign.
