How Melania Trump Destroys Her Friends

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff considered Melania Trump a friend—more than a friend, really. Wolkoff even followed Melania to Washington, D.C., helping produce the 2017 inauguration and advise the incoming first lady. But when the stories started coming out about the insane overspending during the inauguration, Wolkoff says Melania threw her to the wolves—allowing Wolkoff to take the blame in the press and kicking her out of the White House.

“I begged her to just come out and say that I was her friend, I was loyal. Nope, nothing. So the betrayal, the pain of that was like—I gave up my whole life for this woman. No one else would help Melania. I mean, she was alone,” Wolkoff tells Molly Jong-Fast on the latest episode of The New Abnormal. “I should've known better. She is just like her husband.”

So Wolkoff began taping her calls with Melania—calls which formed some of the bedrock for her book, Melania and Me. Improbably, Wolkoff and the first lady kept talking, even after Wolkoff was cast out.

When Melania wore that instantly infamous “I Don’t Care” jacket on a trip to a center for migrant kids, Wolkoff called.

Their mutual friend, the fashion designer Herve Pierre, was being attacked online for the fiasco because he had made dresses for Melania in the past. But this jacket was a $39 item from Zara. Wolkoff asked the first lady: Would she clear things up? Say something in public?

Melania admits that Pierre “had nothing to do with that jacket.” But she declines to make any kind of statement on his behalf. Instead, Melania laughs, “I'm driving liberals crazy, that's for sure. And you know… they deserve it.”

English), I can only hope karma catches up with her and soon. The benefit-of-the-doubt afforded her early on (and by the media, still) is so damned misplaced. She is as horrible as Donald and the rest of that nasty clan.

In the years to come when it has to come out of her pocket instead of ours. For those who go under the knife will do anything to stay young looking as they get older.

Melania Trump is no exception

I guess if your entire identity is framed around your appearance, then you fight the ageing process. I will admit that I was not happy when I got my first "lip crack"! But I am loving my white hair - especially during this time when we avoid salons. Melania is well past her sell date for Donald and I would not be at all surprised to hear that they have split up after January.

Must take a lot of a person.

I am loving my grey hair too. Just a few wrinkles at 68. Still firm in the face.

Isn’t bad. But then they keep going they end up looking ludicrous and so unnatural in such an unattractive way. In Melania’s case she’ll end up having slanted slits for eyes. She won’t be able to open them, or worse, close them.

Podcast- “The New Abnormal” by Daily Beast. I listen to lots of podcasts and I must say I enjoy this one the most. They play clips of Melania talking with Stephanie . Melania hates the libs just like her husband.

Giving Malaria the benefit of the doubt. Giving her sympathy for having found herself in what must be an awful relationship with something that barely qualifies as a creature. Stop it. She deserves no sympathy. She echoed the birther nonsense. She's as much in this and responsible for this as that thing who barely qualifies as a creature. What she deserves is to have her citizenship stripped and her skinny butt shuffled back to whereverthefuckastan she came from. She gained her citizenship through false pretenses. By law, it should be revoked and her ass booted out of the country.
