Ex-Aide Sums Up Melania’s Marriage To Donald Trump With 1 Word
HuffPost
“I think people have to remember who Melania really is,” said Stephanie Winston Wolkoff.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former aide to and longtime confidante of Melania Trump, on Tuesday explained what she believes is the “transactional” nature of the former first lady’s marriage to former President Donald Trump.
“I think people have to remember who Melania really is,” Winston Wolkoff told CNN’s Jake Tapper during a discussion about the presumptive GOP presidential nominee’s ongoing hush money trial in New York.
“There is no enigma, there is no mysteriousness,” she continued. “Melania really is who she has portrayed herself to be. There is a strength within her that is unlike any other individual I have ever met. She does not care what others feel about here nor does she feel she had to ever explain anything to the American people.”
It’s a “transactional marriage in so many ways that they both garnered so much out of their relationship,” explained Wolkoff, who penned the “Melania And Me” tell-all after falling out with her longtime friend.
“By marrying Donald, Melania really did finally get to be the Vogue cover model that she’s 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 to characterize him as,” she said.
