A few years ago, Melania Trump didn’t want to return to the White House. Since then, many things have happened, but surprisingly, she changed her mind. Now, she and her husband, Donald Trump, aim for a second tenure at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but there are many things to take care of before that happens.
Donald Trump and Melania’s first stay at the White House was controversial for many. Meanwhile, when they left, many reports of what happened between the two, including fights, came to light. The state of their marriage has been discussed many times, and even though Melania has renegotiated her prenup, the two are staying together.
Melania and her husband have been quite harsh towards one another several times. And now, Donald Trump has revealed that one time when her wife brutally mocked him after he had trouble leaving the stage after a speech.
Donald Trump and Melania Trump have quite a history.
Donald Trump & Melania Trump
They met for the first time during the New York Fashion Show in 1998, when the wealthy real-estate mogul had just divorced his second wife, Marla Maples. Donald was at the event with a date. However, as soon as he saw Melania, he wanted to be with her instead.
“I went crazy. I was actually supposed to meet somebody else. There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania,” Donald Trump told Larry King in 2005. “They said, ‘Look, there’s so and so.’ I said, ‘Forget about her. Who is the one on the left? And it was Melania.”
While it took a while before they began dating, they became a couple and later married. No one could’ve imagined the two becoming president and first lady years later.
Donald Trump and Melania’s tenure at the White House was just like any other administration, filled with ups and downs. While living at the White House, some things about the couple’s relationship were never supposed to reach the public.
However, former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham revealed several details about Donald and Melania’s relationship while staying at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. And one involved the president screaming at his wife.
In her book I’ll Take Your Questions Now, Stephanie Grisham recalled one specific moment when Trump went mad at his wife – and then-First Lady – Melania Trump.
Melania Trump’s infamous jacket incident
On her way to a migrant housing facility in Texas in June 2018, Melania wore a jacket with the text “‘ I REALLY DON’T CARE, DO U?’
Grisham – who also worked in the First Lady’s office – writes that she didn’t notice the message on Melania’s jacket. At the time, Trump and his administration were under heavy criticism because of their policy of separating migrant children from their family members.
Melania’s visit was seen as an opportunity for the administration to improve its image on the issue. In the end, however, it actually abandoned the program.
When Melania returned from Texas, the President was furious. Donald Trump is said to have summoned his wife to the Oval Office and yelled at her for wearing the tasteless jacket.
“He yelled and asked “what the [expletive]” they thought they were doing,” Grisham wrote in her memoir, as reported by The Washington Post.

“It’s obvious I didn’t wear the jacket for the children,” she said. “I wore the jacket to go on the plane and off the plane. And it was for the people and for the left-wing media who are criticizing me.”
Grisham – who also worked in the First Lady’s office – told more stories about Melania in her memoir. She claimed that some of the staff working for the Secret Service in the White House didn’t quite like their First Lady’s approach to the job.
The Secret Service gave Melania Trump a cruel nickname
The First Lady’s office is located in the East Wing and is part of the Executive Office of the President. However, Melania wasn’t thrilled with the place.
As reported by CNN, Grisham claims that she only saw Melania at the office suite “a handful of times” during her four-year tenure at the White House.
“Mrs. Trump was working from home long before the country was,” Grisham said, referring to the Covid-19 pandemic.
“When warranted, we would have in-person meetings, but those generally took place in the Map Room across from the elevators to the residence. There we would plan out schedules, respond to pressing queries, and discuss goals. Other than that, the first lady kept to her rooms in the residence.”
Instead of working at the First Lady’s office in the East Wing, Melania Trump spent much of her time in the executive residence. Grisham writes that her staff rarely heard from her before 10 a.m. most days, and instead, she focused on “self-care,” which included many hours of sleep.
“She believed that relaxation was central to one’s beauty regimen, as were, of course, spa treatments and facials.”
The Secret Service nicknamed her Rapunzel because “she remained in her tower, never descending.”
Donald Trump is in the middle of his presidential campaign. Meanwhile, the 77-year-old is in the middle of his “hush-money” trial, in which the former pornstar Stormy Daniels has testified.
Real reason Melania Trump has been absent from her husband’s campaign
Melania Trump has decided not to be in the courtroom with her husband. Ever since she moved to the White House, the former first lady’s priority has been to protect their son, Barron Trump, from media scrutiny.
“Melania is good at taking care of business at hand, which includes her own life, the life of her son, and the lives of her close family members,” a source told People Magazine in August last year.
“She would not stand in a circle of people she knows and openly comment on the lawsuits or the mug shot. She will have her way of dealing with this and anything else publicly when she feels like it,” the source added. “Remember, Melania is a mom with a not-yet-adult son to protect. A mug shot that everyone is talking about is just one more issue to wade through.”

In March, Donald Trump explained that Melania Trump hasn’t been on the campaign trail with him because of Barron.
“Her life revolves around that boy, [he’s] so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity.”
He continued, “She’s a private person. It’s funny; she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot, not because she likes doing it, but she likes the result. She wants to see this country really succeed.”
“[The people] love the fact that she’s not out there so much. You know, a lot of first ladies will go out. They want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them. If I didn’t introduce Melania she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person. And she loves the country.”
Melania Trump brutally mocked her husband after New Jersey rally
Donald Trump concluded, “She’s gonna be out quite a bit, and she loves his country, and she wants a great, and she says hello.”
Melania Trump has been staying outside of the spotlight for a good while. There have been many rumors about their marriage not being at its best. And one time, the former first lady even mocked Donald after he struggled to find the exit from the stage at a rally.
During a Wildwood, New Jersey rally, Donald Trump told the crowd that he no longer does an impression of Joe Biden – because Melania thought it was really him.
His wife brutally mocked him.
Trump recalled, “I called my wife [Melania Trump], the great first lady…I called our first lady – I said, ‘First Lady, how great a speech was that? ‘”
“I called my wife, the great first lady,’ Trump said. ‘I said, ‘First lady, how great a speech was that? ‘She said ‘You were OK’. I said, ‘What’s wrong? ‘. She said, ‘Well, you couldn’t find your way off stage!’
