KEY POINTS

  • Donald Trump paced back and forth before talking to Melania after his statement about groping women was leaked 
  • The POTUS was obviously upset after his conversation with the FLOTUS at that time 
  • Melania Trump defended the POTUS after his statement about groping women was leaked 

Donald Trump and Melania Trump reportedly had a bitter confrontation shortly after the POTUS’s statement about groping women were leaked.

In the book “Kushner Inc.,” author Vicky Ward claimed that the president even tried to figure out whether he's made the statement about grabbing women before or during his marriage to the first lady. He soon learned that he made the rude comment while he’s married to Melania.

Ward revealed how the POTUS went up to his and the FLOTUS’s apartment to talk about his comments. But before this, the president paced back and forth obviously worried.

“He went up to the penthouse, to his apartment, presumably to talk to Melania. It must not have gone well. Trump quickly came back down, obviously upset.

Weeks later, Melania stepped out in public and was asked about her husband’s comments and she said that they were unacceptable. The FLOTUS also shockingly revealed that she has not heard her husband speak like that ever before.

“I said to my husband that the language is inappropriate, it’s not acceptable. And I was surprised because that is not the man that I know. And as you can see from the tape, the cameras were not on, it was only a mic. And I wonder if they even knew that the mic was on because it was a kind of ‘boy talk’ and he was led on like egged on by the host to say dirty and bad stuff,” Melania defended the POTUS.

Prior to Melania defending the POTUS, there were discussions about the two holding an interview where Trump would be seen with his forgiving wife. Trump’s good friend, Rudy Giuliani also wanted the same thing to happen on “60 Minutes.”

But before they could organize the sit-down interview, Giuliani asked if anyone has sat down with Melania and was told that she was still upset. As such, it was unlikely for the FLOTUS to grant an interview at that time.
