Since Donald Trump’s inauguration, First Lady Melania Trump has been MIA. Melania had said she didn’t want to move into the White House straight away because she didn’t want to interrupt their son Barron’s school year. But fresh off the “grab them by the p****” Access Hollywood tape spelling out details of an affair her husband had, well, according to The Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan who writes in her book The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, Melania needed to “cool off” and “amend her financial arrangement with Trump — what Melania referred to as ‘taking care of Barron'”.
This massaging of the truth shows us that she’s been crafting her own narrative and positioning herself in a way that serves her best interests from the very beginning. And despite Melania’s efforts at distancing herself from her husband, she hasn’t been too successful. In other circumstances, when you don’t want to be with the person you’re married to, well, you get a divorce — but when you’re the wife of a sitting President who is running for re-election, it’s more complicated.
And what’s so interesting, is that as we see the evolution of Melania, we start to see how similar she and her husband really are. It is probably what attracted them to each other when they first met 20 years ago. Scientists have proven that couples, after many years, start looking alike, and well, there might also be proof that after a long period of time, couples start acting like each other. But, in the case of Donald Trump and Melania, we don’t need a scientist to explain away but rather, we can just look at what they’ve said.
Here are their words (not ours) proving just how similar Melania and Donald’s views really are.
Ways Migrant Children are Brought to the United States
President Trump falsely claimed that children were brought to the United States by “coyotes and lots of bad people,” referring to smugglers hired to facilitate border crossings. “And they’re brought here and they used to use them to get into our country,” he said.
And Melania echoed this when she said, “The kids I met were brought in by coyotes, the bad people who are trafficking, and that’s why the kids were put in shelters.”
Views on the Media
In an interview with Lesley Stahl of 60 Minutes Donald Trump candidly told the journalist that he slams the press in hopes to “demean” and “discredit” reporters so the public won’t believe “negative stories” about him, Stahl said.
“I do it to discredit you all and demean you all so that when you write negative stories about me no one will believe you,” Trump said.
So, in taking a cue from Donald’s playbook, when Melania repeated word-for-word phrases and themes from Michelle Obama’s speech from the DNC in 2008… and it was reported she had plagiarized, the now Frist Lady texted Stephanie Winston Wolkoff saying, “Don’t worry. Liberal media bashing. Nothing new. It is not the first time or last time.”
People Pleasing
“Over the years to come, I’d hear her say, ‘Pleasing anyone else is not my priority!'” Winston Wolkoff wrote in Melania and Me.
Conditions at Border Patrol Facilities
“They are so well taken care of,” Donald Trump said about the children. “They’re in facilities that were so clean.”
And in a secretly recorded conversation by Stefanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania was heard saying, “But the patrols told me the kids say, ‘Wow, I get a bed? I will have a cabinet for my clothes?’ It’s more than they have in their own country where they sleep on the floor. They are taking care nicely there.”
“People need to know who she really is and that she is just like him,” Winston Wolkoff told The Washington Post. “There is no yin and yang. They are one and the same.”
Opinions on Democrats
Melania was heard describing Democrats as “nasty” and praising her husband as “the most popular Republican president ever.”
Husband Donald is notorious for inciting partisan politics and in May, Trump retweeted a video where a man said the “only good Democrat is a dead Democrat.”
