The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may <br>
<br>
soon occupy the White House is not named Kamala <br>
<br>
Harris.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In her new No.1 New York Times best-selling memoir, Melania <br>
<br>
Trump shares a revealing look into her personal life and journey - from a childhood in small-town Slovenia, to globetrotting pursuits as a young model,<br>
<br>
to her courtship and marriage to one of the world's most famous men.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She also corrects the record, challenges her critics and clarifies her positions on a range of issues from abortion (she's <br>
<br>
pro-choice) to the inclusion of biological men in women's sports (female athletes must always be 'protected and respected').<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In fact, she sounds like many female voters <br>
<br>
grappling with the whiplash changes wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's time in the White House.<br>

The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may <br>
<br>
soon occupy the White House is not named Kamala Harris.<br>
<br>
(Pictured: Kellyanne with Donald and Melania Trump at <br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
<br>
'The country is suffering,' she writes. 'We have wars around the world...<br>
<br>
The border is open and dangerous… a lot of fentanyl is coming over and killing our youth….<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
The economy is really not great, inflation is high.'<br>

I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and regard <br>
<br>
her as a friend.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She has been unfairly maligned and the target of so much speculation and <br>
<br>
prevarication. That is why it has been so wonderful to see her own 'October Surprise',<br>
<br>
a memoir in her own words on her own timeline, showing the measured, magnanimous woman tens of millions of Americans adore.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Earlier this year, Melania and I lost our mothers just weeks apart.<br>
<br>
Even as she navigated her loss in public view, Melania made every effort <br>
<br>
to be there for me. She and President Trump called, sent flowers, handwritten notes and <br>
<br>
checked in with me time and again.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
After my divorce was finalized last year, Melania showed up again, supporting me as any caring friend would and encouraging me to swing open soldered doors <br>
<br>
following a time of personal upheaval and transition.<br>

KELLYANNE CONWAY: Don's back! Here's his new 2024 blueprint<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
And it was the same story when we worked together in the White House.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
While Jill Biden has insisted on being called 'Doctor', Melania was admired and beloved by the political and permanent staffers alike, asking after <br>
<br>
their children by name, welcoming them to events big and small,<br>
<br>
and treating them with inclusivity and respect.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Known as a protective and present mother, Melania now uses her memoir to call out the 'sheer malice' of unfunny comic Rosie O'Donnell <br>
<br>
who, in 2016, tweeted despicable and totally unfounded <br>
<br>
claims about Barron, then aged 10.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was just weeks after Trump had stunned the world and won, <br>
<br>
and the same liberal media and Hollywood types, who perpetuated every vicious <br>
<br>
attack against him, reveled as O'Donnell's vile lie wormed its way across social <br>
<br>
media.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was a shock to see such naked cruelty towards a First <br>
<br>
Child, especially when so many of us had treated Chelsea Clinton and the Obama daughters like Fabergé eggs.<br>
<br>
Kids (including mine) should always be off limits.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and regard <br>
<br>
her as a friend. (Pictured together in 2018 visiting Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>

<br>
Earlier this year, Melania and I lost our mothers just weeks <br>
<br>
apart. Even as she navigated her loss in public view, Melania made every effort to be there for me.<br>
<br>
She and President Trump called, sent flowers, handwritten notes <br>
<br>
and checked in with me time and again. (Pictured:<br>
<br>
Together with Trump in the White House in 2019).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But instead of going to war, Melania acted swiftly and tenderly to <br>
<br>
shield her son. She channeled maternal outrage into a first <br>
<br>
lady's focus on initiatives centered around children's wellness and cyberbullying awareness.<br>
<br>
Her 'Be Best' campaign remains a highlight of her time in office.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Melania has never been one for preening and posturing.<br>
<br>
Other first ladies used their roles to land on the cover of fashion magazines, but she did so on her own, years before,<br>
<br>
as a successful model.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Even when I've suggested she push back on myriad false claims made by the media or ungrateful former staffers who have <br>
<br>
returned her trust in them with self-serving lies and revisionist history, she has declined, knowing that her <br>
<br>
silence is always more powerful.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Behind closed doors, Trump has, for decades, regarded his wife as a top confidante and counselor.<br>
<br>
Whether as an international business mogul, a TV star or, <br>
<br>
lately, leader of the free world, it is Melania's opinion that he has consistently sought.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Trump enjoys the company of plenty of friends, taking a <br>
<br>
range of advice, but he speaks of - and to - Melania in an entirely <br>
<br>
unique way. Really, he fears yet reveres her. He respects her independence, <br>
<br>
seeks her input, trusts her keen eye, sharp ear and sense of people.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have witnessed their relationship up close, and it is one fundamentally <br>
<br>
built on mutual love and respect. Recently, as Barron was heading off for college and Melania was preparing to publish <br>
<br>
her memoir, I jokingly asked Trump how it might feel to <br>
<br>
be the second most popular man and the second most prominent author in the household.<br>
<br>
He chuckled and relented.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Melania Trump has plenty to say and nothing to prove.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She is not a typical political spouse rushing to the cameras on matters that are best handled privately, or loudly offering <br>
<br>
insights or slights about her husband's political <br>
<br>
opponents à la Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She is an asset, a partner, an equal who is neither trying to control - looking at <br>
<br>
you, Jill Biden - nor controlled by her partner. She is <br>
<br>
what many feminists insist they are: independent, a product of her own choices, comfortable in her own skin.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She has been by Trump's side the entire time. Though never in his shadow.<br>
<br>
In fact, from that very first moment they descended the golden escalator,<br>
<br>
she's been leading the way.<br>
<br>
