First, Melania Trump and how she met her husband donald trump and what he is like when he is not on camera. How did you meet . We met in new york 1996 in september. We met at a Fashion Party. It was big Fashion Party that my friend organized fashion week. And he invited me. Thats how we met the donald. Did you like him immediately, or not . I like him. He had a great charm, but he arrived with a date. Oh. So, and he was very charming and great mind and great energy. We had connection from the beginning. And when was the next time you saw him . We saw each other, i think around a week. Because i had obligations, work obligations. I travel to caribbean for a photo shoot. So when i came back, i called him and we got together. So i called him . Yes. He didnt call you . Well, at first, when we met, i didnt give him my number. He was with a date. So i told him give me your number and i will call you. I want to do see what kind of number he would give me. Business, home . If he would give me business number, im not a girl doing business whim, why we give me a business number . So he gave me all of them. And when i came back i said give me your number, promise i will call you. I came back after the photo shoot and i called him. And so then you went out on a date . Woe went on a date. And we ha great time. Where did you go . We went to mumba. A place in new york downtown. Fun place. We stayed for quite a long time. Had a great chemistry. Did you think maybe there is a possibility with this guy . You know, might want to marry him later or that way too soon. Way too soon. You need to know somebody. You need to spend time with a person. You dont know yet in such a quick time. You cannot know marrying person or not, especially the known person as he was. Its very different when you are dating celebrity or if you are dating somebody unknown. So it was several years later before you got married . Yes. How long . We were together like before we got married for seven years we know each other. So he asked you to marry
you. Where were you when he asked to marry you . It was a special night. It was a gala in new york. We were both dressed. And he asked me to marry me. No hesitation . No. But i knew a little bit that, you know, he might propose sooner or later. And it was, you know, of course no hesitation. We were together for so long. We know each other. We are very compatible. We like the same things. We are very independent. We gave each other space as well. So he does what he wants to do and he loves to do. And i do what i love to do. That was my decision not to go on the campaign. Because i said i want to be a parent to my child. And he completely agreed with that and i said i will be there when i can be there and support him hundred percent every day all the
time. I dont wish hardship on anybody. But hardship oftentimes shapes one in some ways. What do you think is probably his worst hardship in life . What do you think has been tough for him . I think when he lost his brother. How old was he when that happened about . I think he was a teenager. What happened to his brother . His brother was very successful pilot. And he had the problem with alcohol and drugs. Not so much maybe the drugs at the time but more alcohol. And he passed away. And he always teach donald and said to him dont drink, dont smoke. You know, do the best. So he learned a lot from him. And that really shaped him in one way as well. My husband doesnt drink. I dont drink. He doesnt smoke. I dont smoke. We dont take drugs. We are working hard to be enjoying life. And i think thats very important. Its only one life. You know his other children, of course. Yes. Do you get along with them . Very nice children. We have a great relationship. And now that we are traveling a lot for the doe baits and went to iowa and new hampshire, we spend a lot of time together. So very nice kids. Do you get a knot in your stomach at the debates with donald up on the stage. No, i dont. You dont get nervous for your husband. No, i dont. How you cannot . I know he will handle himself. I know him. I know he will be tough and smart. And, you know, he is quick on his feet. He is in his mind he is very quick. There isnt one ounce of nerves for you . No. I just think, you know, do well. Be who you are. Well, he certainly has he is getting the votes. Yes. He is getting a lot of votes. Is this what you expected . When he announced in june, i told him that he needs to announce it. If he will just look at him and look at his polls,
before announcement, people were saying he will not be the right one. The polls were not the way they are now. He will not go anywhere. He needs to announce. People will see he is serious and what he wants to do for the country. I said once you announce, you will see you will go like a rocket. It will be unbelievable. Because i know i experience that with him when we were traveling and he was doing business and that what happened. Did i expect would go for that long, for all eight months . Number one, never thought about it. Never thought about it. And, its very exciting, amazing whats going on. As you say, its a movement. Its amazing. All the rallies when he goes and he talks, the people, their energy. He brought back the
enthusiasm for the country. And to do good and to have a dream and to dream big and everything is possible. Whats the one word that you think describes him . A. Amazing heart. Amazing mind. Leader. Thats what i say, leader. You will hear more from melania but who are the trumps . What are they like . And are they ready to possibly be americas first family . I have a great family.
