Despite her husband’s larger-than-life
persona, Melania Trump remains a bit of a
mystery. She first stepped into the spotlight
while making a campaign speech at the
Republican National Convention back in
July.
But Melania and the Trump campaign
incurred the wrath of social media after it
was revealed that a speechwriter
allegedly lifted part of the address from a
speech First Lady Michelle Obama gave on
behalf of her husband at the Democratic
National Convention in 2008.
Since then, Melania’s remained largely a
silent figure in the campaign. Aside from
the speech disaster, here are nine more
insights about the future first lady.
1. She Invited Hillary Clinton to Her
Wedding:
Donald and Melania first met in 1998 and
married in 2005. According to the The
Hollywood Reporter (and photographic
evidence), Bill and Hil were among the
guests at their (predictably) over-the-top
ceremony.
2. Claims That She Received a College
Degree Are in Question:
Although her website bio says she
graduated with a degree from a university
in Slovenia, according to The Huffington
Post she actually dropped out after her
freshman year. When she was 18, she
moved to Milan to pursue her modeling
career.
3. Barbara Walters Thinks She’s Smart:
After a 2015 look into the private lives of
the Trumps for an episode of 20/20,
Walters told Robin Roberts on Good
Morning America, “Because she’s so
beautiful, we don’t expect her to be as
smart as she is.”
4. She’s a Jewelry Designer:
In 2010, the model partnered with QVC to
launch her own line of fashion jewelry and
watches, which naturally features a replica
of her own 15-carat engagement
ring. Naturally.
5. She Speaks Five Languages:
Yep, according to CBS News, the potential
First Lady speaks Slovenian, French,
Serbian, German, and English.
6. She Has a Caviar Skin-care Line:
Because, duh. Are you really even rich if
you don’t put caviar on your face?
Her website claims it’s imported from a
farm in France.
7. She Would Be the First First Lady to
Ever Pose Nude:
In 2000, Melania posed nude—handcuffed
to a briefcase inside then-boyfriend Donald
Trump’s private jet—in a photo shoot for
British GQ. So there’s that.
8. She Tells Don What She Thinks:
At a recent rally in Arizona, Trump told the
crowd that his wife and eldest daughter
Ivanka are on him to “act
presidential,” Peoplereported. Melania, who
admitted to Today that she wishes Donald
would give up tweeting, told CNN in a
recent interview: “I’m my own person, I tell
him what I think. I’m standing very strong
on the ground on my two feet and I’m my
own person. And I think that’s very
important in the relationship.”
9. She’ll Campaign Against Cyberbullying
as First Lady:
A few weeks before Election Day, Melania
announced during a campaign speech in
Pennsylvania that her cause as first lady
will be fighting against cyberbullying. The
announcement was met with criticism on
social media (notably, this tweet from Lady
Gaga) due to Trump’s penchant for starting
Twitter wars.
