In a rare interview, former First Lady Melania Trump told Fox News about the impact of left-wing attacks on her husband and their family as a whole.
As she embarks on a media tour to promote her highly anticipated memoir, Melania revealed that a charitable donation she made to fund scholarships for foster children was rejected due to her last name.
“It was all agreed that they will accept my donations for the foster students and because of the board directors, they called back, they found out that it was me, they didn’t, they said we cannot go on,” she said.
The donation was made to an unnamed university after the Trump Family left the White House in 2021, she said.
“And it’s very, very sad because who suffered? They were children from foster community. They didn’t have a scholarship that somebody would provide for them. They didn’t want to do business with me because of political affiliation, my political beliefs,” Melania added.
In another part of the interview, Melania defended her husband against common media and left-wing criticisms of his character.
“What do you want to say to women who, may have a picture of President Trump in their heads, they think they know who he is. What do you want to say to them that they might not know about your husband?” asked Fox News host Maria Bartiromo.
“They need to know that he is passionate about this country, passionate about women and men as well, everybody. He wants to make their lives better safe, prosperous. He’s warm, he loves people,” the former first lady responded.
“And I understand that maybe sometimes they see him tough and some tweets maybe they would not like it and they didn’t like it. I understand that, but he needs to fight back, too. When he’s attacked, he needs to fight back. He only wants good for this country. The business of politics could be very mean and cutthroat,” she noted further.
Bartiromo also inquired about the Trump family’s safety following two nearly successful assassination attempts.
Melania expressed her trust in her own security detail but mentioned that she senses “something is going on” with the Secret Service leadership that needs to be addressed. She also commended her husband for returning to Butler, Pennsylvania, just over two months after he was shot during a rally on July 13.
“I think it’s great. I support him. And he is a fighter. He will never stop. He’s on the go every day. He’s helping this country. And he wants to make America great again, prosperous, safe and I think the people of this country support him tremendously,” she said.
WATCH:
Melania also said that her husband Donald was aware of her views on abortion rights “since the day we met.”
In her upcoming memoir, Melania Trump talks about how she strongly believes that women should have autonomy over their bodies, which is a significant contrast to the Republican presidential nominee for 2024’s stance on abortion.
“Melania,” the autobiography of the former first lady, is scheduled to be released on October 8, precisely four weeks before Election Day.
She told Bartiromo that she wrote in the book that it is “imperative to guarantee” that women have the freedom to choose whether or not to have children. She posted a similar remark on social media.
Since these opinions were “written months before,” she contended on Fox News, they are not novel and are not meant to cause a stir as voters travel to the polls.
