Melania Trump’s recent interview on Fox News, her first in two years, comes ahead of the release of her biography, “Melania,” slated for October 8. The interview, strategically timed to build anticipation for the book, touched on both personal and political topics, providing insight into her marriage with Donald Trump and their life after the White House.
In her interview, Melania revealed harrowing details of two assassination attempts on Donald Trump in recent months, one in Butler, Pennsylvania, and another on a golf course in West Palm Beach. She described the narrow escape of the first attack as a “miracle,” emphasizing how close the bullet came to his head, grazing his ear. She praised the Secret Service’s swift response during both incidents, expressing gratitude for their protection.
When listening to music, he is the DJ
Melania also voiced her ongoing anger over the FBI’s raid on Mar-a-Lago, recounting how deeply disturbed she was by the invasion of their privacy. She noted the agents ransacked not only her husband’s office but also her personal space, including their son Barron’s room. Returning to their home in disarray was, for her, a deeply unsettling experience.
Amid rumors of marital strain, particularly following her absence during key moments of Donald Trump’s legal battles and televised appearances, Melania insisted their relationship remains strong. She described their private moments together as full of love and respect, often spent enjoying dinners or listening to music, with Trump taking on the role of DJ. She dispelled any speculation of a crisis, emphasizing that they have a “wonderful relationship” and share a close bond.
She is echoing her husband: ‘The country is suffering’
Melania also waded into political waters, echoing her husband’s campaign rhetoric. She expressed her concern over the current state of the nation, mentioning the struggles of families to afford essentials, the rise of fentanyl-related deaths, and weak leadership resulting in global conflicts and U.S. soldier casualties. Her comments reflected a nostalgic view of their time in the White House, where she claimed the country was more stable and prosperous under her husband’s leadership.
And she criticized political attacks against her husband: “Is it really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband? Especially when we hear the leaders of the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a ‘threat to democracy’ — calling him vile names. They’re only fueling a toxic atmosphere and giving power to all these people that want to do harm to him. This needs to stop.”
This reemergence into the public eye positions Melania Trump as an important figure once again as her husband campaigns for the presidency in 2024, giving voice to both personal experiences and broader political concerns.
