Donald Trump talks about wife Melania’s ‘beauty’ and ‘mystery’ and his relationship with son Barron

Donald Trump is sharing his appreciation for his wife Melania Trump during his latest interview with Megyn Kelly. The former president gave a glimpse of his family life with Melania and their 17-year-old son Barron, revealing that there are a lot of things people don’t know about her.

The 77-year-old revealed that when it comes to Melania’s personality, he thinks “part of [her] beauty is that mystery,” and explained that “she has a lot of confidence.” Trump also compared his wife to actress Greta Garbo. “She was a great actress, But she was very reclusive, never did an interview. I don’t see Melania as like that, but she’s introspective, and she’s confident… She doesn’t need to be out there.”

Trump concluded by saying that he wishes Melania was still in the fashion world. “It’s so sad, but she doesn’t care, she’s been on the cover of the magazines for a long time, and she was on the cover of Vogue before,” he added. “She was actually very friendly with Anna Wintour.”
