Melania Speaks Out: Decries the Decline of the Country, Slams Efforts to Silence Her Husband


Bob Hoge reporting for RedState 

Melania Trump has a new book coming out, so she’s doing what most authors do: publicizing it and appearing in social media videos. On Sunday, the Former First Lady posted to X—but she just didn’t hawk her book, she also blasted the direction of this country. Although she didn’t call out President Joe Biden or VP Kamala Harris by name, she made clear what she thought of the current leadership.

While it’s a short video, clocking in at just thirty-seven seconds, it’s quite succinct and powerful in its description of everything that has gone wrong:

WATCH:

The 2020 election results changed our lives forever. It impacted our quality of life, cost of food, gasoline, safety—and even the geopolitical landscape.

America is more divided today than ever before. It has become increasingly apparent that there are significant challenges to free speech, as demonstrated by the efforts to silence my husband.

By my count, that’s just 54 words, but those 54 words nail it.

The new memoir, scheduled for release on October 1, is titled simply “Melania”:

In the book she 'reflects on her Slovenian childhood, the pivotal moments that led her to the world of high fashion in Europe and New York, and the serendipitous meeting with Donald Trump, a chance encounter that forever changed the course of her life,' according to its summary. 'Melania opens up about their courtship, life in the spotlight, and experiencing the joy of motherhood. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the White House, shedding light on her advocacy work and the causes close to her heart.'

She posted another video on September 5 which was less political and did not discuss the woes of the country under Biden-Harris, but she did tease a little about her thoughts with one line: “As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts.” 

I don’t know about you, but that makes me very curious indeed:

Melania Trump has long seemed like a mystery woman to many because she is, as she describes herself, a “private person” and isn't worried about where the camera is. The left, though, has long tried to portray her as some sort of hostage to the former president who secretly hates him and would do anything to divorce him. Her words in these two videos would seem to dispel those idiotic gossipy notions.

It will be interesting to see if she continues to speak out and if her voice has an impact on the closely fought election. I for one am very interested to read her behind-the-scenes portrayal of events at Mar-a-Lago and the White House—and would welcome her continuing to weigh in on important matters affecting our country.
