The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the White House is not <br>
<br>
named Kamala Harris.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
In her new No.1 New York Times best-selling memoir, <br>
<br>
Melania Trump 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, to <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
her positions on a range of issues from abortion (she's pro-choice) to the inclusion of biological <br>
<br>
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 wrought by Joe Biden and Kamala Harris's <br>
<br>
time in the White House.<br>

The bold, confident, free-thinking modern woman who may soon occupy the White House is not named Kamala Harris.<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 <br>
<br>
is coming over and killing our youth…. The economy is really not great, inflation is high.'<br>

<b>I've known and worked alongside Melania for many years,<br>
<br>
and regard her as a friend.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
She has been unfairly maligned and the target of so much speculation and prevarication. That is why <br>
<br>
it has been so wonderful to see her own 'October Surprise', a memoir in her own words on her <br>
<br>
own timeline, showing the measured, magnanimous woman tens of millions of Americans <br>
<br>
adore.<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 <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
up again, supporting me as any caring friend would and encouraging me to swing open soldered doors following a <br>
<br>
time of personal upheaval and transition.<br>

<br>
blueprint</b></u><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 <br>
<br>
was admired and beloved by the political and permanent staffers alike, asking after their children by name, <br>
<br>
welcoming them to events big and small, and treating <br>
<br>
them with inclusivity and respect.<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, <br>
<br>
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, and the <br>
<br>
same liberal media and Hollywood types, who perpetuated every vicious attack against <br>
<br>
him, reveled as O'Donnell's vile lie wormed its way across social media.<br>
<br>
<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 <br>
<br>
the 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, and regard <br>
<br>
her as a friend. (Pictured together in 2018 visiting Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center).<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 checked in with me <br>
<br>
time and again. (Pictured: Together with Trump in the White House <br>
<br>
in 2019).<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 <br>
<br>
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>
<br>
<br>
Other first ladies used their roles to land on the cover of fashion magazines, but she <br>
<br>
did so on her own, years before, as a successful <br>
<br>
model.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Even when I've suggested she push back on myriad false claims made by <br>
<br>
the media or ungrateful former staffers who have returned her <br>
<br>
trust in them with self-serving lies and revisionist history, she has <br>
<br>
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,<br>
<br>
lately, leader 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 of advice, but he <br>
<br>
speaks of - and to - Melania in an entirely unique way.<br>
<br>
Really, he fears yet reveres her. He respects her independence, seeks <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
fundamentally built on mutual love and respect. Recently, as Barron was heading <br>
<br>
off for college and Melania was preparing to publish her memoir, I jokingly asked Trump <br>
<br>
how it might feel to be the second most popular man and the second most prominent author <br>
<br>
in the household. He chuckled and relented.<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
Melania Trump has plenty to say and nothing to prove. She <br>
<br>
is not a typical political spouse rushing to the cameras on matters that are best <br>
<br>
handled privately, or loudly offering insights or <br>
<br>
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 <br>
<br>
at you, Jill Biden - nor controlled by her partner. She <br>
<br>
is 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 <br>
<br>
never in his shadow. In fact, from that very first <br>
<br>
moment they descended the golden escalator, she's been leading the way.<br>
