The Trumps’ marriage has survived sixteen eventful years including allegations of infidelity and a presidential term – and it’s down to one special thing Melania always makes sure to do, a former aide has claimed.
President Donald Trump’s relationship with his third wife is believed to have gone through some frosty patches in the last four years, but they’ve stayed together allegedly thanks to Melania’s constant reminders of how great he is.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who used to work for the former First Lady, said the couple were strong and that Donald would always call Melania first after his rallies, the Mirror reports.
There have been reports that now out of the White House, the 50-year-old may look to divorce Donald, who paid hush money to a porn star he allegedly had an affair with.
Ms Wolkoff, speaking on the Hollywood Life podcast, said: “I believe their way of showing affection towards one another is her telling him how wonderful and great he is.
“She was always his first phone call [after a rally].
“Always, no matter where she was.
“And the first thing he’d say was: ‘Hey baby, how’d I do?’ like he wants her approval.
“She tells him how it is but she also makes sure to elevate him and embrace what he’s doing, because that is who she is.”
Ms Wolkoff wrote ‘Melania and Me’, a book about her time working for Mrs Trump, which was published in September 2020.
Referencing her new book recently Winston Wolkoff accused her of manipulating her image to create a fairytale narrative around her rise.
“Throughout the years, Melania controlled her image, created her fairytale narrative, and remained an enigma, which enabled her to play make-believe,” she said.
“I felt it my civic duty to stop protecting her and to unearth the ‘most mysterious First Lady’ the world has ever known.
“By sharing my history with her, I unmasked her true identity and revealed an unvarnished portrait of a woman whose veneer I’ve stripped off, leaving nothing but an “unapologetically, skin-deep” woman.”
Mr and Mrs Trump are currently living at Mar-a-Lago, a luxury resort the former president owns in Florida.
Rumours have abounded since the couple’s departure from the White House that the ex-first lady is considering divorcing her husband.
These have been denied by sources close to the pair.
Footage of the couple arriving in Florida on the day of Joe Biden’s inauguration showed Melania seemingly refusing to pose for a photo with her husband.
A video that went viral on Twitter showed her striding purposefully away from Donald, leaving him alone in front of the cameras.
