Melania annoyed that Ivanka invades 'her turf' and is often elevated above her: New tell-all book





Melania annoyed that Ivanka invades ‘her turf’ and is often elevated above her: New tell-all book

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/12/melania-annoyed-that-ivanka-invades-her-turf-and-is-often-elevated-above-her-new-tell-all-book/

Published 4 mins ago on December 2, 2019


The upcoming biography of Melania Trump by CNN White House reporter Kate Bennett, “Free, Melania,” contains a number of new revelations about the First Lady, including that she sleeps in a separate bed from the president, that she doesn’t really care about her “Be Best” anti-bullying campaign, and that her hospitalization for kidney problems in May 2018 was much more serious than the media had first reported.

One of the more interesting tidbits, though, was Bennett’s account of Melania’s relationship with first daughter Ivanka Trump, which reportedly is a lot more tense than it appears in public.


The relationship, wrote Bennett, is “cordial” but “not close.” Additionally, Melania is bothered by Ivanka’s constant international trips with the president during diplomatic negotiations. “The trips were, according to a source, too close for comfort for Melania, who thought Ivanka was invading her turf,” wrote Bennett. In fact, she argued, Melania’s decision to don the infamous “I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U” jacket during a visit to Texas was not, as is commonly assumed, a comment on the media scrutiny of migrant family separation, but a jab at Ivanka — who was at the time trying to position herself in the press as a positive influence on the administration.

However, I do want to know if it's true she watches CNN. Also, what's the deal with her kidneys? She's only 49.

Too bad she feels that she can’t discuss it with the American people, it could be an opportunity for her to connect with the public and to educate people about kidney ailments.

is she therefore at least partially responsible for the mess the country is in and the criminality?

I've heard that she and Barron live most of the time with her parents near his school.

Also, although I thought it was a crazy theory at first, I'm starting to believe that at times it's a Secret Service woman who's pretending to be Melania. She's not as good as Melania at walking in crazy high heels, and she keeps her sunglasses on at all times. A few months ago I saw a series of pictures showing that sometimes Trump's pants are scraping the ground, and the person who collected them thought that perhaps Fake Melania is a little shorter than Other Fake Melania (aka the real one, but I think she's very fake!) and so Trump might not use the lifts in his shoes.

I wouldn't expect an authorized biography to be truthful at all. I can't believe that Melania would want to travel with Trump any more than she does.
