While Melania Trump is carving her own path as First Lady during the second administration of her husband, Donald Trump, her role in his Political life remains crucial, as reporter Alex Isenstadt, who authored 'Revenge: The Inside Story of Trump's Return to Power,' revealed.
The First Lady continues to shape her husband's presidency, and her influence behind the scenes is undeniable, especially when it comes to strategy and presentation.
Melania is still an "incredibly important advisor" to her husband, according to the author of the book on the president's 2024 reelection. "She also gives him stylistic advice, which is not surprising because she's someone who's very much into appearances and presentation, of course," the author detailed.

Trump, he's holding press conferences every day and he's totally out there all the time. But when she's present at something, it gets a lot of eyeballs. And I think she knows that."

"For a lot of the campaigns, she was more focused on Barron, getting him off to NYU," Isenstadt said about Barron. Melania has recently made headlines after going back to her First Lady responsibilities, while still spending quality time with her family and for her projects.

During an interview with Fox & Friends, Melania revealed that her documentary began to be filmed in November. “We started the production in November, and we are shooting right now, so it’s a day-to-day life, what I’m doing, what kind of responsibilities I have,” she explained.
