During her first interview in more than two years, former First Lady Melania Trump opened up about her husband's survival in two assassination attempts, calling them "miracles". She also shared new insights into the former president, including his desire to have more children. Melania, who was born in Slovenia and worked as a fashion model before becoming the first lady, has remained somewhat of a mystery during the 2024 election cycle.
While she has not been as visible on the campaign trail as previous first ladies, Melania has been breaking norms by not speaking at the Republican National Convention and skipping important events for her husband, such as his primary-night victory parties and court appearances in New York and Florida. In a pre-taped interview with Fox News, Melania called for Democrats and the media to stop portraying her husband as a threat to democracy, and instead focus on his accomplishments.
She expressed her belief that the media has been "fueling a toxic atmosphere" and giving a platform to those who wish to harm her husband. In response to Democrats blaming Trump for inciting violence, including the attack on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, Melania stated that it is not normal to demonize a sitting president and called for an end to the hateful rhetoric.
During the interview, Melania also shared her perspective on the two assassination attempts against her husband. She revealed that she was informed of the first attempt at a rally in Pennsylvania, and saw reports of the second attempt on television while in New York. Despite the danger her husband faced, Melania believes that "something was watching over him" and that he is meant to continue leading the country.
Melania also discussed her new memoir, set to be released on October 8, where she reveals details about her life as the first lady. When asked if she and her husband ever discussed expanding their family, she shared that while she was content with one child, Donald had encouraged her to have more. However, she ultimately decided that one child was enough, considering their busy lives and her role as the primary caretaker.
As a former fashion model, Melania believes that her experiences in the industry have prepared her for the criticism and scrutiny she has faced as the wife of a polarizing political figure. She acknowledges that the fashion world can be tough and judgmental, but it has also given her a "thick skin" that has helped her withstand attacks from the media and her husband's opponents.
Finally, Melania discussed her son Barron Trump's decision to continue living in their New York residence and attend New York University. While she misses having him at home, she respects his decision and is proud of him for pursuing his dreams. Despite her son moving out, Melania does not consider herself an empty nester, as she still has a busy life and responsibilities to attend to.
