  • Melania Trump values the privilege and prestige she receives from President Donald Trump 
  • Melania is someone who is not willing to be ignored
  • Melania Trump sparks marital feud rumors

Melania Trump values the privilege and prestige she receives from President Donald Trump, and she can do without his affection.

Peter Conrad of The Guardian has shared his reviews on “A Very Stable Genius” by Carol D. Leonnig and Philip Rucker and Kate Bennett’s “Free, Melania.” According to him, the first book described the POTUS as the “lord of misrule” who delights in instability and who runs a government that resembles a “virtual tilt-a-whirl” at a carnival. He also asked if Trump is a “stable genius or a rampaging dimwit.” Meanwhile, he called Melania a “sphinx” after reading the two books.

“If Trump is a lax, dribbling sphincter, then his stony-visaged wife Melania might be called a sphinx, silently guarding her secrets behind outsize dark glasses,” Conrad wrote.

“Melania, Bennett reports, values the ‘privilege and prestige’ offered by Trump, and can do without affection. The hollowness of the arrangement was advertised by their wedding cake, which stood seven tiers tall, with internal wiring as intricate as a Trump skyscraper, but turned out to be inedible, because to ensure that the facade stayed upright the confectioners had to leave the gooey filling out.”

He added that Trump’s brand has the hallmarks of “falsity, fraud and infidelity.” The POTUS admitted this in “A Very Stable Genius” when he told Anthony Scaramucci, “I’m a total act and I don’t understand why people don’t get it.”

Conrad also mentioned how Trump could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and could get away with it. For him, the POTUS’ emotional and moral nullity may be the source of his power. He concluded that Rucker and Leonnig’s book needs a different and less brittly ironic title. He suggested that they should have called it “Evil Genius.”

Meanwhile, Bennett described Melania as someone who is not willing to be ignored. According to the CNN reporter, the FLOTUS is not worried about making her husband happy or angry.

A few weeks back, Melania sparked marital feud rumors when she accompanied the president at the NCAA College Football Championship. Many noticed that her smiled turned into a grimace when Trump reached out to hold her hand. Some said that the FLOTUS wasn’t happy with the hand holding.
