Its easy to think America has changed a lot since Hillary Rodham Clinton was chastised in the early 90s for her ambition as First Ladyrefusing to sit at home and make cookies. But our conception of a presidential spouse hasnt evolved much. Michelle Obama, a Princeton graduate and legal hotshot who was once her husbands law-school-era mentor, has been mainly confined to dealing with soft issues: childhood obesity, planting vegetables. Rather than Hillary or Michelle, it was Laura Busha teacher who supported her husbands turning from bottle to Biblewho seemed most suited to Middle Americas idea (or at least a mans idea) of a First Lady. Of course, the paragon of them all is still Jackie Kennedy, endlessly glamorous and endlessly tolerant of her husbands philandering.
Melania is as fastidious a wife as she is a mother, which Donald appreciates. Things come easy with her. I work very hard from early in the morning till late in the evening, Donald told Larry King in 2005. I dont want to go home and work at a relationship. To the twice-divorced Donald, Melania is terrific. Hes never heard her fart or make doodie, as he once told Howard Stern. (Melania has said the key to the success of her marriage is separate bathrooms.) He can trust her to take her birth control every day, he boasted to Stern; shes just amazing that way. She has the perfect proportionsfive feet eleven, 125 poundsand great boobs, which is no trivial matter. Stern once asked Trump what he would do if Melania were in a terrible car accident, God forbid, and lost the use of her left arm, developed an oozing red splotch near her eye, and mangled her left foot. Would Donald stay with her?
How do the breasts look? Trump asked.
The breasts are okay, Stern replied. Then, yeah, of course Trump stays. Because thats important. There are other pluses. He appreciates Melanias restraint when it comes to Shopping While Trump. Shes never taken advantage of that situation, okay, as many women would have, frankly, he has said. (I prefer quality over quantity, Melania tells me.) Donald does his part to make things work, too. He is a very understanding husband, Melania once told an interviewer. If I say, I need an hour, Im going to take a bath, or Im having a massage, he doesnt have nothing against it. Hes very supportive in that way. She lets him have his space; shes not needy or nagging, as she tells me.
As for passions beyond the familial, there are a few. Melania dabbles in design. Her line of affordable gem-spangled jewelry and watches, launched on QVC, reportedly sold out in 45 minutes during its initial broadcast. (Melanias caviar-infused anti-aging creams havent sold as well, though a federal judge ruled in her favor in a lawsuit she filed against its promoters.)

She sounds like a simple person who happens to be beautiful and therefore married a rich guy!
