America’s next First Lady is Melania
Trump..Many people are surprised, and maybe they should be. After all,
she is not your typical First Lady, for many
reasons. Besides the fact that she is the first foreign-born First Lady in 200 years (since the only other, English Louisa Adams, wife of sixth president John Quincy Adams who served from 1825-1829), and the first-ever Eastern-European one, Melania Trump seems to have quite a few things to hide. Or at least, things she would just as soon keep private.

Or at least, things she would just as soon keep private.
That is fine; we are all entitled to our
privacy. But that sort of goes out the window when your husband is
elected to leader of the free world, don’t you think? Still, Melania has
been caught time and time again hiding information about herself,
backtracking on things she previously said, straight-out lying, and
doing some arguably scandalous things. Some of these you may have
suspected but could not confirm (did she have a boob job, or didn’t
she?), and some things you had no clue about (was she married before The
Donald?)
Melania Trump was born Melanija Knavs,
and grew up in the industrial factory town of Sevnica in what was then
Yugoslavia, but is now Slovenia. It was under the dictatorship of
Marshall Tito and a satellite state of the USSR. Melania’s family lived
in a concrete tower block, a far cry from her life in the Trump Tower,
and soon, the White House. She left that life behind when she began
modeling, and it seems she has not looked back since. Now 46, Melania
speaks five languages (English, Slovenian, Serbian, French, and German),
hopes to end bullying while in the White House, and stands by her
controversial husband who seemingly prefers she be seen and not heard.
She has said she does not always agree with him, but has not elaborated
on that. So what is going on behind those cool blue eyes? The answer is
perhaps a lot more than she lets on. Here are 13 dark little secrets she
may wish you had never stumbled upon. But lucky for you, you did.
13. Raunchy Phone Call with Howard Stern
In a creepy interview with Donald and
Melania in 1999, radio personality Howard Stern spoke to them on air in
what turned into something completely bizarre and misogynistic. The
interview was about life and sex with Trump, which I personally have no
desire to know about. He was initially interviewing Donald, but when the
topic turned to Melania, Howard said, “Let me talk to that broad in
your bed.” Melania was wearing barely anything and lying in bed nearby,
and came to the phone. First he told her to put on her hottest outfit,
then asked about it, and he groaned that he had his “pants off already.”
Melania divulged that she and Donald had sex “more than daily”, and the
three discussed her chest, and that she was now naked. Howard begged
Donald to have sex with her on air to boost his ratings. Wow. It sounds
like basically a phone-sex threesome. I must say I would have a thought
an international supermodel could have done better than the likes of
Howard Stern and Donald Trump.
12. Not the Brightest Crayon in the Box
Although it would be nice to think of
our new First Lady as intelligent, sadly that is not the case. And be
that as it may, Melania herself probably does not even know it, so it
could be argued that it is not an actual “secret”. But those who grew up
with her in Slovenia know the truth about her smarts (or lack thereof).
One of her old friends from school, who asked not to be named, said
this: “People say she’s smart, she’s well-educated like Jackie Kennedy,
but… She’s smart for the things she’s interested in, like jewelry. She’s
not stupid, she’s not a bimbo, but she’s not especially clever.” Well, I
am sure glad our next president is married to a woman who is “not
stupid” and “not a bimbo”. Sighing with relief that we dodged those
bullets. But from how she acts (and how her husband acts), you would
think Melania Trump is of high intelligence. I guess the fancy clothes,
serious face, and new title skewer our perception a bit on that one, or
maybe we just have a need to believe there are not two complete morons
residing in the White House.
11. She Married Her Father
There are many accounts, even from
Melania herself, about how much Donald is like her father. They say
girls marry their fathers, after all. There is, firstly and most
obviously, their age difference. While Donald is 70 years young (just
five years younger than his father-in-law), his wife is 46, meaning
there is a 24-year age gap. Donald is by far old enough to be her
father, and in fact, his eldest son is only eight years her senior.
Furthermore, both men are tall, plump, and have the same hair color.
Both Viktor and Donald are impetuous men who appreciate the finer things
in life, and as Viktor’s friend and neighbor Tomaz Jeraj says, “He has
business in his veins.” Sounds like someone else we know. Oh, and let’s
not forget the adulterous tendencies of both men (we’ll get to the
details later). Finally, one of Melania’s old friends from Ljubljana,
the capital of her country, puts it best when she says, “It’s about all
that power and protection. I think she needed a strong man, a father
figure.” Gross.
10. Her Native Country Resents Her
All the way over in Slovenia, there is a
bit of resentment that the new First Lady has forgotten where she came
from. Rumors abound that she refuses to speak her native language,
Slovenian (we at least know this is untrue as her son Barron is fluent
in it so that he may speak to his grandparents), and that her big shot
husband has only visited the tiny country once. Worse, he only stayed
long enough to have dinner, and left again. Some of the people there
think Melania thinks herself too good for Slovenia.
According to Melania, she loved her
“beautiful” childhood, but now the place she grew up represents a time
from her past that was short and so long ago that it doesn’t matter
anymore. She is a different person now, but that shows, and her fellow
native Slovenians can tell. As we have seen, and will see even further,
Melania may deny something, but that does not mean what she says is the
truth, so it may very well be that she really does think she is better
than those people. Above, she is pictured as a little girl (second from
right) in Sevnica.
9. Rumor Has It She Was A Street Walker
Yes, I know this sounds a little out
there. Some of her lies and scandals are quite a bit more in the realm
of possibility than this, but there are accounts of her once working as a
prostitute. Given that Melania has denied several allegations on this
or that, and lied about things she has said, the truth of whether or not
these scandalous rumors are true will probably never be known to anyone
but her (and her alleged high-end clients), but they should at least be
mentioned since we cannot trust what she says. Of course, she denies
having been a prostitute, and her lawyer even threatened to sue any
publication that says she was, including Daily Mail, Inquisitor, etc.,
for defamation (to be clear, I am not saying she was or was not; I am
stating the rumor). The story goes like this: a Slovenian magazine
reported that a New York modeling agency Melania used to work for also
provided escort services. At the very least, it sounds like Mrs. Donald
Trump worked for a company that engaged in these sordid activities.
8. She is Inherently Fake
Despite her best efforts to deny breast
augmentation, plastic surgery, or anything of the sort, deep down,
Melania is as fake as they come, although she would never have you know
it, of course. How do I know this? Well when you put two and two
together it makes perfect sense, but there is also that GQinterview that
she so loathed, in which she was described by those who remember her
from Sevnica as seeming “somehow on a plane above her peers, always
focused on a point above and beyond them. At an age when her classmates
were pimply, casual high schoolers, Melania was always perfectly made
up, foundation, mascara, blush, lip gloss, all in just the right, subtle
amount. Even in summertime, she was always perfect, every day.” Melania
dated models, set her sights high above and away from Slovenia, and in
the end she wound up with a man just like her. You can tell just by
looking at her face that she is one of those aging women always seeking
lasting physical youth by any means, and even when she was young she was
that way, fearing by her 20’s that she was too old-looking to model.
7. She Sold Her Soul
While at first Melania was lucky to be
“discovered”, she soon found it difficult to find work. She went on
casting calls for advertisements of things she was vehemently opposed
to, like cigarettes and alcohol, things that her underage competitors
could not be hired for. Once, she landed a Camel billboard ad that was
placed in Times Square. To understand why this (among other things) is
considered “selling her soul”, you must first understand the mindset of
the young Melanija Knavs. According to those who knew her back then, she
was straight-laced, never drank, never smoked, was always home early,
and preferred to keep to herself and a few close friends. She was in no
way a party animal or anything remotely close to it. But with the
pressures of modeling, and as she got older and began to feel like her
best years were behind her, Melania succumbed, and sought out lingerie
modeling jobs. To do so, she did everything in her power to land that
sort of work, which brings me to…
6. Surgical Enhancement
Ask Melania, and she will tell you until
she is blue in the face that she is all natural (scoff; just look at
her face!). But the truth is that she had her breasts surgically
enhanced, but she will never admit to it. A photographer and one of
Melania’s roommates in her 20’s, Matthew Atanian, knows she is lying
when she claims to be all natural. He says, “She went away for a
two-week vacation, then came back and was more… buxom. She admitted it
to me. She just said it needed to be done to get more lingerie modeling
jobs.” Sorry, but one does not become more “buxom” in two weeks without
the aid of a surgeon and some silicone. But still, Melania keeps up the
charade: “I didn’t make any changes. I didn’t do anything. I live a
healthy life. I’m against Botox, I’m against injections.” Whatever you
say, Mrs. Trump.
5. She is a Hypocrite
If you have not figured it out by now,
the immigrant wife of an immigrant-bashing businessman who now holds the
power to do something about said immigrants, is a total hypocrite.
Melania was famously called out for her blatant hypocrisy by Lady Gagaon
Twitter, although there were many people who brought it to light. After
Melania gave a speech about anti-bullying, especially cyber-bullying,
the tweets brought up the fact that her husband regularly uses Twitter
to launch personal attacks against people, so much so that Twitter
actually took away his access, punishing him like the child he is. So
while it is no shocker that Donald can be hypocritical (he married an
immigrant, so obvs), the irony of his wife’s pledge to campaign against
bullying once she is in the White House should come as no surprise.
Seriously, have these two lovebirds met each other? The bully who hates
immigrants married an immigrant who hates bullies. Like everything else
in Trump world, it makes perfect sense.
4. She is Uneducated
Many Americans probably assume that a
woman who lives in the White House and is married to the leader of the
free world is educated. It likely is not even something people would
think to question. But Melania Trump is not educated. She would have you
think that she is, and go to great lengths to hide that she is not –
yet another discrepancy between what she says and what her image is
(there seem to be many). But there is no record in any official database
of academic theses in Slovenia stating that Melania completed the
graduation requirement. Some sources say she attended the University of
Ljubljana and left after her freshman year. She removed any reference to
her academic studies from her personal website. Private records and her
record of honesty being what they are, I do not see that proof coming
out anytime soon, if ever. If she had an education, she would likely be
happy to prove that to the world, but instead she hides it. Really, her
resistance to openness is proof enough.
3. She is Dead Inside
This is not shocking, if you have ever
seen Melania’s face before. Her eyes are lackluster and cold, and that
face she swears up and down has not been injected with anything, well,
it looks taut and harsh. Physically, she looks like someone who is dead
inside. Beautiful, but cold. But her personality also leaves something
to be desired. As we already talked about, she tends to think she is
above certain people and places, but she also gives the impression of
being (for lack of a better word) a frigid b*tch to those she interacts
with on a personal level. One example is the words of one of her past
photographers, Stane Jerko. He stated that while at first he’d thought
Melania could have a great future in modeling, after two sessions he was
over it. He said, “Her exterior was very good to be an excellent model,
but she lacked energy, a certain charm that if you have, you transmit
it through your eyes, through your personality… comes from the heart.”
Hmm, no energy or charm? One doesn’t need those things to be First Lady,
anyway.
2. Trump Hubby #2?
Melania Trump became a citizen of the
United States of America in 2006, but prior to that, she had a green
card based on marriage, according to Michael Wildes, an immigration
attorney who worked for the Trump Organization. He said Melania had
obtained a green card in 2001, but could not comment further on how Mrs.
Trump became a permanent resident of the U.S. Legal privacy issues did
not allow him to elaborate. When all efforts were made to acquire an
answer to the question surrounding exactly how and when Melania first
gained a green card, the reps for the Trump campaign as well as
Melania’s former agent who had secured her visas, Paulo Zampolli, all
declined to comment. Zampolli, who actually introduced Donald and
Melania, even said, “I have no idea. How would I know?” And the
shadiness continues.
1. She Posed N*de
Now this is not something you hear of
everyday: the future First Lady of America did a nude photoshoot!
Classy. In January 2000, Melania was photographed by British GQ on
Donald’s customized Boeing 727, wearing handcuffs, diamonds, and nothing
else. She also held a chrome pistol. Back then, she was only the
billionaire’s girlfriend, as they did not marry until 2005. British GQc
alled the photos “jet-set chic”, which I suppose is true. Melania also
did a lesbian girl-on-girl photoshoot for a 1997 issue of France’s Max
Magazine. In the photos, 25-year-old Melania lied naked in bed,
embracing Scandinavian model, Emma Eriksson. When asked about his wife’s
prior risqué photoshoots, Donald said, “In Europe, pictures like this
are very fashionable and common.” While that may be true, I highly doubt
they are fashionable and common for the wives of all the countries’
leaders. Again, and for the last time – just saying.
