His Thing, Not Hers
In 2000, Melania told theNew York Times what her role would be if her husband would become president: “I would be very traditional. Like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy. I would support him.” However, it would appear from much of her behavior when he did become president that this was not her first choice in the matter. Despite this, she toldRolling Stone: “It’s not my thing. It’s Donald’s thing.”
Her Own Voice
Melania was never afraid to voice her own opinion, even if it meant disagreeing with her husband. In a 2016 interview withCNN, Melania shared: “I don’t agree with everything that he says, but you know, that is normal. I’m my own person.”
