As time nears for the Trump family to vacate the White House, US First Lady Melania Trump is all set to pen down her memoirs of staying in the White House.
The soon-to-be former first lady will leave the White House on 20 January and will likely establish permanent residence at Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago resort in Florida, as reported by some media house.
According to an insider, ‘Melania is in meetings to write her White House memoir and it would be her money – a chance for her to earn on her own.’ However Melania may not be the only one cashing in with a book deal after the White House exit.
Previously the Murdoch-owned tabloid, New York Post had quoted a ‘source familiar with the president’, claiming that Trump was ‘being bombarded with book and TV deals that could be worth a staggering 100 million dollars’.
A book from Melania could set the record straight on some of her notable White House episodes – from that infamous, ‘I really don’t care, do u?’ jacket that she wore in 2018 to enduring a coronavirus infection.
The insider added, ‘I’m told her husband is encouraging her to pen the book. She’s not done, or going as quietly as you might expect. Plus, in the wake of Stephanie Winston Wolkoff’s betrayal, in both print and on secret tapes, Melania’s story could be worth big money.’
It may be recalled that Wolkoff was once Melania’s best friend who published a book titled ‘Melania and Me: The Rise and Fall of My Friendship With the First Lady’ in September.
In October, Melania slammed Wolkoff in an essay published on the White House website, calling her a ‘dishonest opportunist’ who ‘clung’ to Melania for fame.
Wolkoff later relased some tapes of conversations with Melania, which did not go down well with Melania who hit back saying the recordings were ‘out of context,’ and that the book was ‘idle gossip trying to distort my character’.
