The former first lady is coming back to the spotlight in a big way. Now she’s turning heads.
And Melania Trump dropped jaws with this bombshell appearance.
Former First Lady Melania Trump is feeling a renewed wave of optimism for the 2024 presidential race, comparing the excitement and energy to what she saw back in 2016 when her husband, former President Donald Trump, first captured the White House.
In an exclusive interview with Fox & Friends before a live audience, she discussed her outlook on the election, the toll recent attempts on her husband’s life have taken on her, and the success of her bestselling memoir.
“I feel it’s kind of the same like 2016, the support out there,” she said.
“It’s incredible and… people see what’s going on in the country and what kind of leadership they want… They want prosperity. They want [the] American dream coming back, so that’s what we will decide on November 5th.”
Melania explained that she’s much more prepared this time around. “I’m not anxious because this time is different,” she said.
“I have much more experience, much more knowledge. I was in the White House before. So when you go in, you know exactly what to expect. You know what kind of people you need to get. You need to have people that are on your team that they have the same vision as me and to serve me because they serve the country.”
Polls show Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Trump running neck-and-neck across crucial swing states, with record-breaking early voting already underway.
Both candidates have been crisscrossing the nation, stopping in key states like Georgia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Pennsylvania to rally support in the final days.
“He loves his country, and he wants to make it successful,” Melania said about her husband’s drive.
“And for all of the people… he loves people and he wants to make this country great again.”
Although her outlook is positive, she acknowledged that today’s political environment is “much more dangerous” after her husband survived two assassination attempts in recent months.
“It is different. It’s much more dangerous,” she noted. “And I am very vigilant and very selective where I go, what do I do.”
Reflecting on the uncertainty of life, she shared, “I always said to him… ‘Good luck and be safe,’” adding, “You never know what kind of phone call you will receive and what can happen in life. Life is fragile, and we need to enjoy it every day.”
The first lady also responded to calls for restraint in political rhetoric from top Democrats like Hillary Clinton and Vice President Harris, following allegations that her husband’s recent rally in Madison Square Garden resembled a Nazi gathering.
“It’s terrible. He’s not Hitler, and all of his supporters, they’re standing behind him because they want to see [the] country successful,” she asserted.
Alongside her campaign support, Melania’s memoir—sharing her journey from childhood to her White House years—has been met with resounding success, topping both Amazon’s and the New York Times’ bestseller lists.
“It’s important that people hear my story because it’s a lot of misinformation and a lot of mistruths out there,” she explained. “So that’s why I wrote the book… I always wish the best [for] all these people… They need to heal… I wish them all the best.”
In the memoir, she also addresses betrayals, specifically from a friend and adviser who published a tell-all book in 2020. “It’s betrayal, but they show the world who they are.
They need to go to sleep every night, and they know what they did,” Melania stated, adding, “To tape the first lady of the United States on the phone calls and release them to the public and edit those phone calls, it’s a disgrace, and it should never happen to anybody.”
Melania is releasing a special collector’s edition of her memoir, hand-signed and featuring exclusive photos taken on her iPhone during her White House years, giving readers an even more personal glimpse into her story.
