Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, former assistant and longtime confidante of Melanie Trumpexplained Tuesday what she sees as the “transactional” nature of the former first lady’s marriage to the former president. Donald Trump.
“I think people need to remember who Melania really is,” Winston Wolkoff told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a discussion about the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s ongoing secret trial in New York.
“There is no enigma, there is no mystery,” she continued. “Melania is truly who she presents herself to be. There is a strength in her that is unlike any other person I have ever met. She doesn’t care what anyone else thinks about here and she doesn’t feel obligated to explain anything to the American people. »
It was a “transactional marriage in many ways that allowed them to get a lot of mileage out of their relationship,” said Wolkoff, who wrote the story for “Melania And Me” after falling out with her husband. long-time friend.
“By marrying Donald, Melania finally became the Vogue model that she always wanted to be, that supermodel, and by marrying Melania, Donald was legitimized as trying to get away from that whole playboy mentality that everyone wanted characterize it as,” she said.
Tapper asked Wolkoff if Melania Trump would attend her husband’s trial.
The ex-POTUS is accused of falsifying business records to conceal a hush money payment that was made to porn actor Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election. He allegedly wanted to silence her about their alleged sexual relationship in 2006, which allegedly occurred while he was married to Melania Trump. Trump denies these claims.
“I don’t think we’ll see Melania Trump accompany Donald to court,” Wolkoff told Tapper. “Melania is Melania’s own person, in terms of, again, a marriage that you want to think of as something that most people are still trying to figure out, but don’t.”
“I don’t see her supporting him in that way because he’s not someone who I think can feel that humiliation without having to put himself in front of the cameras,” she added. “Everything Melania does is staged, so everything is articulated in a way for her before she does her interviews. So, like I said, everything is planned very strategically. She’s not going to put herself in a position where she gives anyone the opportunity to say anything negative about her. »
