Trump, who famously obsesses over his poll numbers, said his wife gave him great approval ratings, saying, "'You know, if you actually announce, you're going to win.'" "My wife said something very interesting," Trump said last month on CNN. On the campaign trail, her 69-year-old husband, who is 24 years her senior, has said that Melania is watching him on TV from home. She only rarely accompanies her outspoken husband as he criss-crosses the country in his private Boeing 757.įriends said she prefers to stay at home - or homes, actually, in New York and Palm Beach - with the couple's 9-year-old son, Barron. So far in the 2016 campaign season, Melania Trump has shown more of her homebody side than her provocative one. "It is not only Donald who wants to see it. "It would be very easy if President Obama would just show it," she said. "Do you want to see President Obama's birth certificate or not?" Melania responded, noting that what she had seen so far was "different" than a birth certificate. "What's this with the birth certificate obsession? Did he ask to see yours when you met him?" asked television interviewer Joy Behar. citizenship, Melania defended her husband on TV, saying he was "brilliant" and had a "genius's mind." In April 2011, when Trump was considering a run for president and was one of the leading "birthers" challenging the validity of President Obama's birth certificate and U.S. And while she has largely maintained a quiet, stand-by-your-man persona, she has at times mixed it up on political issues. During that campaign, she posed in crimson bikini on a rug adorned with the Great Seal of the United States for the now-defunct Talk magazine. Melania Trump has been on the edges of political campaigns in the past, as in 2000, when her then-boyfriend briefly sought the Reform Party nomination. "She would be the most glamourous first lady since Jackie Kennedy." She is smart - "not just an armpiece," Stone said. "She provides great balance" to Trump, said Roger Stone, the candidate's former political adviser who has known the couple since before they were married. And, without doubt, she would be the only first lady to have posed in the buff while lying on a fur blanket handcuffed to a leather briefcase, as she did aboard Trump's jet for British GQ in 2000. She might also be the most linguistically gifted first lady, as she speaks four languages including heavily accented English. Ronald Reagan, with a single ex-wife when he took office, was the only other divorced U.S. She is Trump's third wife - another first for a first lady. She would be the first first lady born abroad since Louisa Adams, wife of John Quincy Adams, who moved into the White House in 1825. Now, Melania Trump, 45, who shies away from speaking in public, finds herself directly in the 2016 campaign spotlight, an unconventional spouse of a most unconventional presidential candidate.
