Melania Trump's memoir: pro-choice beliefs and defending Barron

With a stern expression and intense (often sunglassed) eyes, the inner workings of Melania Trump’s mind have always been a mystery. So far.

Trump’s self-titled memoir Melania has now arrived in the UK, giving Britons a glimpse into the former and future mind of the First Lady.

From her fiercely protective attitude towards her son Barron Trump, who you may know is surprisingly tall, to her stance on abortion rights, here are some of the biggest bombshells from Melania’s memoir.

1. Actually pro-choice

Donald Trump’s stance on abortion is generally quite conservative; She calls the decision to overturn Roe V. Wade and the subsequent tightening of abortion restrictions in many states “a beautiful thing to watch.”

However, Melania makes it clear in her book that she does not agree with such measures. “It is imperative that women be guaranteed the autonomy to decide their childbearing preferences based on their own beliefs, free of any interference or pressure from the government,” the book states. The statement is included.

“A woman’s fundamental right to individual freedom regarding her own life entitles her to terminate her pregnancy if she wishes.”

Both Melania and Donald Trump received backlash for these comments from the prominent anti-abortion segment of Trump’s fan base. The former president defended his wife’s comments on Fox News last week, saying: “We talked about this. “And I said you should write what you believe in.”

Melania tends to stay away from the campaign trail except for major events; That means there was no attempted assassination of Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania this July.

Watching on television from Bedminster, New Jersey, he recalls: “I watched the chaos unfold: the gunshots, Donald instinctively reaching for his head, and the immediate reaction of the Secret Service agents guarding him.”

After “what seemed like an eternity,” she says she finally spoke to her husband, who told him it was “nothing short of a miracle” that he survived.

He remembers being most worried about his son, who was also watching on television. “Every time we saw Donald’s bloody face, I had to remind myself that I had, in fact, just talked to him,” Trump writes.

3. Barron says Trump’s autism claims are ‘cruel’

When comedian Rosie O’Donnell posted a video of Barron Trump and claimed he had autism, she probably didn’t expect it to reach Barron Trump or his very protective mother, Melania Trump.

But they did, and Melania was “furious.” “I knew the tweet and video would go viral and how much it would hurt her,” she writes. “I was appalled by such cruelty. It was clear that he was not interested in raising awareness about autism.” “I felt like she attacked my son because she didn’t love my husband.”

He says Barron was not diagnosed with autism, but if he had been diagnosed, “autism is nothing to be ashamed of.”

4. Melania doesn’t like being called a ‘gold digger’

Melania Trump denies the claim that she married Donald Trump, who is 24 years older than her, only for his money. Speaking in harsh but also quasi-legal language, Trump calls these allegations “baseless accusations” and points out his and Trump’s shared love of Elvis and Elton John.

Describing her first encounter with Donald Trump, she writes: “From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easy-going nature.

When Trump asked for her phone number, the woman refused and demanded that the businessman give her his contact information.

According to the book, he called her a few days after going on the couple’s first official date at Trump’s Seven Springs estate in Bedford, New York.

5. He claims he didn’t condemn the Capitol attacks because he didn’t know what was going on

While Melania Trump appears to be quite firm on some beliefs and views, such as her view that the 2020 election votes should be recounted, she appears to be quite unstable on others.

His version of events on January 6, 2021 is quite sparse. This was the day of the Capitol siege, which Melania did not condemn because she was “unaware of the events that were occurring” at the time.

“Had I been fully briefed on all the details, I would naturally have immediately condemned the violence that occurred at the Capitol,” he writes.

6. She absolutely loves King Charles

It turns out that Melania Trump is a big fan of King Charles, whom she once claimed was a pen pal during her first term as First Lady.

She revealed that she and the King reconnected at a state banquet in 2019, where she sat next to him, describing it as “an absolute pleasure to reconnect with him”.

“Our paths crossed years ago in New York,” he writes. “This time we began an interesting conversation about his deep-seated commitment to environmental protection.” Management of Melania’s husband during his time in office Rolled back more than 100 environmental policies.
