Former first lady Melania Trump has revealed the one word she would use to describe her husband and former President of the United States, Donald Trump.
In an interview with Fox News earlier this week she described the 78 year old as “caring” and “a family man” who “loves his family…[and] this country”.
Melania, 54, also went into detail about her first date with Trump and how he had combined business and pleasure as part of their day out together.
Melania explained that she was taken on a 90 minute drive to view a building on their first date and they had later spoken on the phone.
“So he was combining business with taking [me] on a first date,” she told Fox News.
“And it was very nice, because we were two of us alone in the car for hour, hour and a half, and it’s no other noise, no other people, because at that time, he was already known and a celebrity.”
During the interview Melania also took aim at some parts of the mainstream media over how they had covered the assassination attempts of her husband. She exclaimed: “Is it really shocking that all this egregious violence goes against my husband?
“Especially that we hear the leaders from the opposition party and mainstream media branding him as a threat to democracy, calling him vile names? This needs to stop.”
Melania’s latest interview was given ahead of the US election in just over two months time where Trump is hoping to be reelected as president, running against Democratic candidate Kamala Harris. Ahead of the election, world leaders have been meeting both Trump and Vice-President Harris.
This includes the UK’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer who has had a two-hour dinner with Trump in New York alongside Foreign Secretary David Lammy.
Ahead of the meeting with the Labour Prime Minister, Trump revealed his feelings about Sir Keir. The BBC reported that Trump said: “I actually think he’s very nice. He ran a great race, he did very well, it’s very early, he’s very popular.”
Sir Keir also expressed positivity before the meeting: “It’ll be really good to establish a relationship between the two of us. I’m a great believer in personal relations on the international stage.
“I think it really matters that you know who your counterpart is in any given country, and know them personally, get to know them face to face.”
