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

The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the White House <br>
<br>
is not named Kamala Harris. (Pictured: Kellyanne with Donald <br>
<br>
and Melania Trump at the White House in 2019).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The country is suffering,' she writes. 'We have wars around <br>
<br>
the world... The border is open and dangerous… a lot of fentanyl is coming over and killing our youth….<br>
<br>
The economy is really not great, inflation is high.'<br>
<br>

<br>
I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and regard her as <br>
<br>
a friend.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She has been unfairly maligned and the target of so much speculation and prevarication. <br>
<br>
That is why it has been so wonderful to see her own 'October Surprise', a memoir in her own words on her own timeline, <br>
<br>
showing the measured, magnanimous woman tens of millions <br>
<br>
of Americans adore.<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 <br>
<br>
effort to be there for me. She and President Trump called, sent <br>
<br>
flowers, handwritten notes and 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 <br>
<br>
to swing open soldered doors 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>
While Jill Biden has insisted on being called 'Doctor', Melania was admired and beloved by the <br>
<br>
political and permanent staffers alike, asking after their children by name, welcoming them to <br>
<br>
events big and small, 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 <br>
<br>
to call out the 'sheer malice' of unfunny comic Rosie O'Donnell who, in 2016, tweeted despicable and totally unfounded claims about Barron, then aged 10.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was just weeks after Trump had stunned the world <br>
<br>
and won, 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 media.<br>
<br>
<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 <br>
<br>
Obama daughters like Fabergé eggs. Kids (including mine) should always be off limits.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years,<br>
<br>
and regard her as a friend. (Pictured together in 2018 visiting Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center).<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 to be there for <br>
<br>
me. She and President Trump called, sent flowers, handwritten notes 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 shield her <br>
<br>
son. She channeled maternal outrage into a first lady's focus on initiatives <br>
<br>
centered around children's wellness and cyberbullying <br>
<br>
awareness. Her 'Be Best' campaign remains a highlight of her time <br>
<br>
in office.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Melania has never been one for preening and posturing.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Other first ladies used their roles to land on the cover of fashion magazines, but she did <br>
<br>
so on her own, years before, 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,<br>
<br>
knowing that her silence is always more powerful.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Behind closed doors, Trump has, for decades, regarded his wife as a top <br>
<br>
confidante and counselor. Whether as an international business mogul, a TV star or, lately, leader <br>
<br>
of the free world, it is Melania's opinion that he <br>
<br>
has consistently sought.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Trump enjoys the company of plenty of friends, taking a range <br>
<br>
of advice, but he speaks of - and to - Melania in an entirely unique way.<br>
<br>
Really, he fears yet reveres her. He respects her independence, 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 built on mutual love and respect.<br>
<br>
Recently, as Barron was heading off for college and Melania was preparing to publish her memoir, <br>
<br>
I jokingly asked Trump how it might feel to 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>
She is not a typical political spouse rushing to the cameras on matters <br>
<br>
that are best handled privately, or loudly offering insights or slights about her husband's political opponents à la Hillary <br>
<br>
Clinton and Michelle Obama.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She is an asset, a partner, an equal who is neither trying to control - looking at you, Jill Biden - nor <br>
<br>
controlled by her partner. She is what many feminists insist they are: independent, a product of her own choices, <br>
<br>
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, she's been leading the way.<br>
