Inside the Trump Marriage: Melania’s Burden
Melanija Knavs, The determined daughter of a former Communist Party - Until November 8, Melania Trump’s marriage provided her with a golden Fifth Avenue fortress, at a price—putting up with her husband’s humiliations and boorishness. From Melania’s ill-fated campaign appearances to her apparent reluctance to embrace the role of First Lady: how a very private woman is coping with the intense public scrutiny of her marriage.
Quite a long time ago, it was a story that seemed well and good: a Slavic How to Marry a Billionaire. Melanija Knavs, the decided little girl of a previous Communist Party part, experienced childhood in Slovenia, where she and her more seasoned sister, Ines, gained from their folks' aspiration for upward portability. Having innovative goals, she considered outline at the University of Ljubljana. Be that as it may, after she won runner-up in a stunner challenge, she dropped out, wanting to put Slovenia behind her and turn into a model.
Her mission took her to Paris and Milan, where, in 1995, she had the good fortunes of meeting Paolo Zampolli—a co-proprietor of Metropolitan Models, a buddy of Donald's, and a gregarious playboy—who was on an exploring trip in Europe. "I told Melania, 'On the off chance that you might want to come to attempt the United States, we'd get a kick out of the chance to speak to you,' " reviews the quick talking Zampolli in his Gramercy Park town house. "I say extremely basic, 'Please come.' " Melania was in.
Zampolli says he secured Melania's visa. In 1996 she moved to New York City, sinking into Zeckendorf Towers, on Union Square, where Zampolli set her up with a flat mate, a picture taker named Matthew Atanian. Not at all like a large number, who come to New York City with a voracious desire for involvement, Melania, as per Atanian, had little enthusiasm for nightlife or making companions. When she went out, it was by all accounts with more established men, just for supper, and she generally returned home before her flat mate had gone out, he says. (Grisham says that Melania did not do much dating, because of her "broad travel plan" as a model.) Demonstrating praiseworthy Slavic teach, "she wore lower leg weights around the loft and the regular zones," reviews Atanian. "She would entirely eat five to seven vegetables and organic products consistently. She drank a ton of water . . . . She was hoping to profit [as a model]."
