Melania Trump’s portrayal as a victim in certain circles doesn’t hold up under closer scrutiny. While some may view her as an innocent bystander of her husband’s actions, the reality paints a different picture. Melania has been complicit in perpetuating the Trump brand, often displaying behavior that aligns with the controversial actions of her husband.
Despite her occasional absences from Trump’s events, Melania’s actions speak volumes about her true character. From wearing a jacket with the insensitive phrase “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?” while visiting detained migrant children to her refusal to address the American people during the Capitol insurrection, Melania has consistently demonstrated her alignment with the Trump ethos.
As I told @maddow in 2020,
I pressed record on Melania Trump to protect myself from criminal prosecution.Melania & Donald will say & do whatever it takes to protect themselves, no matter who they hurt along the way.

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former advisor to Melania, shed light on the First Lady’s behavior through her revelations. Wolkoff, once an unpaid senior advisor to Melania, faced repercussions after questions arose about the cost of Trump’s inauguration. Despite Wolkoff’s attempts to defend herself, she was ultimately ousted from her position, leading her to expose Melania’s true nature through her book, “Melania and Me.”
The book, released in 2020, contained damaging quotes from Melania, revealing her true sentiments. Melania and Donald Trump attempted to sue Wolkoff for breaching her non-disclosure agreement, but the lawsuit was dismissed by the Biden administration.
Wolkoff’s subsequent interviews and social media posts further highlighted Melania’s dismissive attitude towards others, including her former advisor. Melania’s callous demeanor towards Wolkoff’s reputational damage reflects her lack of empathy and disregard for those she once considered friends.
As Melania continues to evade the spotlight amidst her husband’s criminal trial, it’s evident that she has profited from her association with Trump’s presidency. If justice prevails, Melania will face scrutiny for her role in enabling Trump’s damaging actions. In the face of potential repercussions, Melania’s indifference echoes the sentiment conveyed by her infamous jacket: “I Really Don’t Care, Do U?”
