Books about the president of the United States, Donald Trump (74), seem to be currently the best sellers. Former Trump confidants do business unpacking confidential information about the most powerful man in the world. But in the book “Melania and I” by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff (50), a former Weisse-Haus informant, it is not the contradictory Trump who is the center of attention for once, but her wife Melania (50). The author claims that without Melania, the mighty Trump would be unthinkable. Without Melania, Trump would not exist as the world knows him.
Wolkoff calls the pair “masters of the dark.” The First Lady of the United States is fully involved in the actions of Donald Trump and is no different in her actions or ambitions from her husband. Wolkoff said this exclusively to the Australian edition of “60 Minutes”, as the “Sydney Morning Herald” reports.
First friends, now revenge?
Melania’s former best friend recently claimed that the two had resumed talks. This after the White House accused her of publishing “Revenge” on the First Lady. But as Wolkoff now unravels in detail and not very advantageously about the Trumps’ marriage, he likely accepts the eventual severance of his old friendship with Melania.
Wolkoff and Melania Trump became friends in 2003 when Wolkoff hosted events for Vogue magazine, including the famous Met Gala in New York. The two met regularly for lunch and became friends. Wolkoff also helped organize the celebrations for Trump’s inauguration in 2017 and was later appointed Special Counsel to First Lady Melania.
The friendship between the two women was reportedly beginning to unravel after Wolkoff’s company pocketed $ 26 million for Trump’s induction ceremony. The First Lady and Wolkoff parted ways in early 2018. Her book is primarily based on quotes from conversations with her boss that she secretly recorded after their relationship began to deteriorate.
Stepdaughter Ivanka and son-in-law Kushner kick Melania
Wolkoff speaks of a useful and Machiavellian association of the Trumps, in which Melania is willing to do anything for her husband’s power ambitions. But for some time Melania has had to play a supporting role behind Trump’s favorite daughter, Ivanka (38), who comes from Trump’s first marriage. Ivanka is officially her father’s advisor and is supported by her husband Jared Kushner (39). The “need for control” of her son-in-law and stepdaughter, for which Wolkoff, would push Melania into a supporting role.
But while the Trumps often give the impression that they can’t stand each other, for example by refusing to hold his hand, all of this is done consciously. The Trumps are “masters of the dark,” Wolkoff said. With distractions, they would consciously divert attention from the things they would prefer to hide. Everything they do they do for a reason, says Wolkoff: “Nothing happens by chance. You have to understand who they are to understand how they are trying to conquer the nation. Melania is no different from her husband. “
Trumps seien wie die Underwoods in “House of Cards”
Wolkoff compares the Trumps’ relationship to the psycho Underwoods in the Netflix series “House of Cards.” Melania serves her manager as an employee. It’s about supporting the “showman” Trump.
Melania only seems distant and superficial at first glance. With a “wall of steel” around her, she tries to remain mysterious “so she doesn’t have to answer to anyone.” If she were human and with feelings, she would have to expose herself to criticism. “Melania seems indifferent, it barely reaches her skin,” says Wolkoff. “In truth, she is not unhappy. She is an accomplice. “
