The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the <br>
<br>
White House is not named Kamala Harris.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In her new No.1 New York Times best-selling memoir, Melania Trump <br>
<br>
shares a revealing look into her personal life and journey - from <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
from abortion (she's pro-choice) to the inclusion of biological men in women's <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
whiplash changes wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's time in the <br>
<br>
White House.<br>
<br>
<br>
<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 and Melania Trump at the White House in 2019).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
'The country is suffering,' she writes. 'We have <br>
<br>
wars around the world... The border is open and dangerous… a <br>
<br>
lot of fentanyl is coming over and killing our youth….<br>
<br>
The economy is really not great, inflation is high.'<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years, and <br>
<br>
regard her as 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 <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
every effort to be there for me. She and President Trump called, <br>
<br>
sent flowers, handwritten notes and checked in with <br>
<br>
me time and again.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
After my divorce was finalized last year, Melania showed up <br>
<br>
again, supporting me as any caring friend would and encouraging me to swing open soldered <br>
<br>
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',<br>
<br>
Melania was admired and beloved by the political and permanent staffers alike, <br>
<br>
asking after their children by name, welcoming <br>
<br>
them to 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 <br>
<br>
her memoir to call out the 'sheer malice' of unfunny comic Rosie O'Donnell who, in 2016, tweeted despicable and totally unfounded claims <br>
<br>
about Barron, then aged 10.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
It was just weeks after Trump had stunned the world and won, and the same <br>
<br>
liberal media and Hollywood types, who perpetuated every vicious attack against him,<br>
<br>
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 Child, especially when so many of us had treated Chelsea <br>
<br>
Clinton and the Obama daughters like Fabergé eggs.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
visiting Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<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 <br>
<br>
every effort to be there for me. She and President Trump called, sent flowers, handwritten notes and checked in with me time and again. (Pictured: Together <br>
<br>
with Trump in the White House in 2019).<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
But instead of going to war, Melania acted swiftly and tenderly to shield her son. She channeled maternal outrage into a first lady's focus on initiatives centered around children's wellness and <br>
<br>
cyberbullying awareness. Her 'Be Best' campaign remains a highlight of her <br>
<br>
time 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 <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
made by the media or ungrateful former staffers who have returned <br>
<br>
her trust in them with self-serving lies and revisionist history,<br>
<br>
she has declined, knowing that her silence is always more powerful.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Behind closed doors, Trump has, for decades, regarded his wife as <br>
<br>
a top confidante and counselor. Whether as an international business mogul, a TV star or, lately, leader of <br>
<br>
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 range of advice, but he speaks of <br>
<br>
- and to - Melania in an entirely unique way. Really, he fears yet <br>
<br>
reveres her. He respects her independence, seeks her <br>
<br>
input, trusts her keen eye, sharp ear and sense <br>
<br>
of people.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
I have witnessed their relationship up close, and it is one fundamentally built on mutual <br>
<br>
love and respect. Recently, as Barron was heading off for college <br>
<br>
and Melania was preparing to publish her memoir, I jokingly <br>
<br>
asked Trump how it might feel to be the second most popular man and <br>
<br>
the second most prominent author in the household. He chuckled and <br>
<br>
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 that are best handled privately, or loudly offering insights or slights about her husband's political opponents à la Hillary Clinton and <br>
<br>
Michelle Obama.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She is an asset, a partner, an equal who is neither <br>
<br>
trying to control - looking at you, Jill Biden - nor <br>
<br>
controlled by her partner. She is what many feminists insist they are: <br>
<br>
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>
<br>
<br>
In fact, from that very first moment they descended the golden escalator, she's been leading the way.<br>
