In her new book titled The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump, author Mary Jordan dives into the history of the enigmatic First Lady of the United States. The book delves into the night Melania and Donald met.
“He wasn’t in politics. He was charming and fun, not the divisive, polarizing person we know now, and if you were a model, they said he was so much better than the other older rich guys following around models.”
According to the author, Donald was in a group of men known as “the modelisers”.
She wrote: “This was the age of the supermodel, and if you had money, you hung around, went to parties with all these people.
“Trump didn’t drink, didn’t do drugs and didn’t demand much.
“She is a loner. He is a loner. They’re perfectly happy to be separated.”
Melania Trump was mocked for her £1900 Alexander McQueen dress recently.
Twitter users mocked the dress, which had a black squiggly design on it.
One wrote: “Donald Trump got bored and drew all over Melania’s white dress with a sharpie on Air Force One.”
