- Mary Jordan (@marycjordan) June 13, 2020Melania Trump: leverage when negotiating a marriage contract
Melania Trump had given the reason for her late entry into the White House after the swearing-in of the US President * in January 2017 that she did not want to interrupt the school year of the then ten-year-old son Barron, the Washington Post continued. That was not wrong, but it was also a means of pressure to renegotiate the marriage contract .

White House observers would have noticed a mood upswing in Melania Trump in mid-2018 , which may have contributed to her willingness to fight for her husband's second term. Author Jordan reports that, according to three people from Trump's environment, the first lady had renegotiated the marriage contract to her satisfaction at the time. The original contract was not very generous , it was said - without giving details of the agreement.

Jordan writes that Melania Trump had already ensured that Barron was a citizen of both her home country, Slovenia, and that of the United States . This would enable him to work as an adult for the Trump organization in Europe . When renegotiating the marriage contract, she wanted to ensure that Barron was not excluded from the group.
Donald Trump and Melania: both are "fighters and survivors"
The author reports that the impression is false that Melania and Donald Trump are opposed . "They are both fighters and survivors and value loyalty above all else." Neither the President - who is celebrating his 74th birthday this Sunday - nor the First Lady would have many close friends. Her instincts as loners would carry over to marriage. But it seems that both love each other. Melania is Donald Trump's third wife.
From his first marriage to Ivana Trump , Donald Trump has three children: Donald Junior, Ivanka and Eric . Sons Donald Junior and Eric run the Trump organization, while Ivanka and her husband Jared Kushner are advisors to the White House. From the second marriage to Maria Maples came the daughter Tiffany Trump , who played a far less prominent role in the president's public life.

There is always speculation about the marriage of Melania and Donald Trump
There is always speculation in the United States about the marriage of Melania and Donald Trump . Donald Trump has been repeatedly charged with affairs in the past, but he denied them. CNN journalist Kate Bennett published the unauthorized first lady biography "Free, Melania" at the end of last year, which said that Melania and Donald Trump - as often rumored - have separate bedrooms in the White House.
Even Bennett did not give the impression that the marriage was only maintained as if it were an illusion. The author wrote that Donald Trump was longing for Melania's approval and trust in her. Bennett also wrote that Melania had significant influence over the president. "She is the only one who can openly tell him what she thinks." The author said: "It is essentially untouchable."
In addition to the publication of the book, US President Donald Trump has also received many other criticisms. At a campaign appearance, he received mockery. In the case of the death of
