This Tuesday, the memoirs of the former first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, were published, who questions the results of the 2020 elections, in which her husband Donald Trump lost against Democrat Joe Biden.
In Melania, The former president’s wife remembers the night of the election, which she and her son Barron followed on the network Fox News as Donald Trump walked in and out of the room. ”At 11:30 p.m., Fox predicted that Arizona would go for Biden. How could they predict it so soon, before all the votes had been counted? It was another sign that these were not normal elections,” he says in the book, which went on sale today in the United States.
Melania adds that her suspicions that the election was unfair increased when she discovered that “due to the way states counted mail-in votes and mail delivery times, the results would not be clear for several days.”
Although it is common for the press to announce the expected result of an election when it considers that sufficient unofficial information about the vote count has been published, the former first lady accuses the media and big technology of trying to prevent the re-election of her husband.
And he believes that “an election should be held in a single day” and that “the polls should close at midnight.”
Melania’s position in the assault on the Capitol
In her memoir, Melania clarifies why she did not publicly reject the assault on the Capitol and answers her then press secretary, Stephanie Grisham, who revealed that when that day she asked her to condemn the use of violence in X, she responded with a simple “No”.
Melania clarifies that her response was due to a misunderstanding, since she did not know what was happening at the Capitol: “If I had been fully informed of the details, I would have immediately reported the violence.”
Now, he condemns what happened that day and affirms that, despite his rejection of the electoral results, the violence that was witnessed then “was unequivocally unacceptable.”
In the book, Melania does not mention the criminal charges her husband faces in Washington DC and Georgia for his attempts to interfere in the election results, nor does she delve into the accusations of sexual misconduct leveled against him by several women, such as the porn actress Stormy Daniels or the writer E. Jean Carroll.
About transgender athletes and their friendship with King Charles III of England
If in the book Melania distances herself from her husband on the issue of abortion – of which she declares herself in favor – she does agree with the Republican in rejecting the participation of transgender athletes in sports competitions.
“Male bodies tend to have physical advantages – muscle strength, height, bone density and lung capacity – that can affect fairness in competition, even in high school competitions,” he says, although he later states that he supports the LGTBI community. .
Also striking from his memory is the story of his friendship with King Charles III of England, whom he met in New York in 2005 and with whom he reconnected in 2019 during a state visit to the United Kingdom in which he established “ an interesting conversation about their commitment to environmental conservation.”
Not everything is politics and controversial opinions in this biography: the former first lady also delves into the first time she saw Donald Trump, a night during New York Fashion Week in which she felt “an undeniable spark” with him.
“There was something magnetic about him: his confidence, his charm, his humor, his vision,” he says. And she remembers the episode in which, during a visit to Israel with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his wife, she refused to shake her husband’s hand: “The four of us couldn’t fit together on the red carpet. It was a small innocent gesture, nothing more,” he clarifies.
