But, first, Melania Trump on how she met her husband donald trump and what he is like when he is not on camera. Where did you meet . We met in new york 1996 in september. We met the 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. And he was very charming and great mind and great energy. We had connection from the beginning. And when was the next time that 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 wanted to see what kind of number he would give me. Business . Home . If he would give me business number, im not a girl doing business with him why he would 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, and i came back after the photo shoot and i called him. So then you went out on a date . We went on a date and we had a great time. Where did you go . We went to roomba, a place in new york, downtown. It was fun place and we stayed for quite a long time. And had a great chemistry. Did you think maybe there is a possibility with this guy . Might want to marry him later or was that way too soon . Way to soon. You need to know somebody. You need to spend time with the person and you dont know yet in such a quick time. You cannot know marrying a person or not, especially the known person as he was. Its very different when you are dating celebrating or if you are dating somebody unknown. There were several years later before you got married. Yes. We were together like before we got married for seven years we know each other. So he asked to you marry you. Where were you he asked you to marry you. Special night gala in new york. We were both dressed and he asked me to marry me. No hesitation . No. But i was i knew a little bit that he might propose sooner or later. So 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 and to campaign because i said i want to be a parent to my child. And he completely agreed with that and i said i would be there when i can be there. And support him 100 percent every day all the time. I dont wish hardship on anybody. But hardship often shapes one. What do you think is probably his worst hardship in life . I think when he lost his brother. How old was he when that happened . 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 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 me in one way as well. My husband doesnt drink, i dont drink. My husband doesnt smoke, i dont smoke. We dont do drugs. We are working very hard to enjoy life. Very important. Its only one life. You know his other children, of course. Yes. Do you get along with them . Very nice children. We had a great relationship now that we were traveling a lot for the debates and went to iowa and New Hampshire we pentagon a lot of time together, 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 at all you dont get nervous for your husband. No, i dont. How do you not. I know him. I know that he will be tough and smart and i is quick on his feet. In his mind is he 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 is he getting the votes. Is he getting a lot of votes. 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 and the polls are not the way they are now. He will not go. He needs to announce and people will see he is serious and what he dual for the country. Once he announce you will see go like a rocket. It will be unbelievable. And because i know i experience that with him when we were traveling and he was doing business and thats what happened. Did i expect it would go for that long for all eight months . Number one, never thought about it. Never thought about it. And its very exciting and amazing whats going on. As you say its a movement. Its amazing, all the rallies when he goes when he talks, the people, their energy, he brought back the enthusiasm for the country and to do good and to from a dream and to dream big and everything is possible. Whats the one word that you think describes him. Amazing heart, amazing mind. Leader. Thats what i say, leader. You will hear more from millan i cant but who are the trumps . What are they like . Are they ready to possibly be americas first family . I have a great family. I really have a great family. So i just want to thank all of you. Its time to meet the trump family. My children, i mean, they will always be children to me, i dont care, right . But my children have been so amazing. Take a look at melania, a slovenia model, a mother, and a successful business woman. She moved to new york in 1996. And it wasnt long until she met her future husband, donald trump. Before long, she was selling jewelry on qvc. I like to offer women many many different choices. And hitting the campaign trail with her husband. He is a fighter. If you elect him to be your president , he will fight for you and for our country. And, of course, there is trump jr. The first born son and graduate of the prestigious Wharton School at the university of pennsylvania. Donald jr. Is following in his fathers footsteps, is he a big shot at the Trump Organization, Running Development for the company. In his free time is he an avid hunter and supports his father on the campaign trail. Is he going to give all of you a voice again. And, of course, we all know ivanka, a business mogul running her own successful fashion brand while also playing a major role in the family company. One of her biggest deals . Trump National Temperature durrell. She bought it for 150 million some think its worth more than a billion. Get, this she is a mother, too. As a young girl growing up my father always told me that i could do anything that i set my mind to. He meant it. I really have an amazing family. Ivanka is one of my best friends in the world as is don. Trump is big wig at the Trump Organization.

And eric ready to go on the record. Meet the trumps in just minutes. Also is, Melania Trump the super star model and mother ready to be first lady . More of melania on the record from inside trump tower straight ahead. Donald, what do you think of your wife melanias interview, when she did her interview with us on the record . I thought it was great. She loved it she thought you were fantastic and so do i. Thats good. So do i. I think it was a great interview. It was indepth and yet, there was something very warm about it and nice. But that doesnt surprise me. You know her from the cover of vogue and so many other magazines. But who is Melania Trump . Heres the questions i have want to do ask you for a long time. How many languages do you speak. I speak two languages. Which ones . English, german, french, i would learn when i would leave there it was easier to communicate with me and for me with other people, so it was easy. But now its like english, english, english all the time. Especially my son is in school. And i help sometimes with homework and its exciting. You grew up in slovenia. I grew up in slovenia. Sloveniaian. Is there more than one dialect. There is some but normally just slovenian. You never thought as a child that some day you might be the first lady of the United States . I didnt think about that, no. I didnt think about that. Im not surprised. I started modeling around 7 years old. My mother was constructedder and designer. And she brought me with her. And i modeled. It was exciting for me to travel with my parents. We loved to travel. I had beautiful childhood. What did your father do for a living. He was in sales. And then, when possible was open own business, when slovenia separated, he opened his own business, was successful at it and now its most of the time he is spending here with us in new york or wherever we go and traveling back and forth. When did you become a professional model . About what age . I was professionally professional i was 22 because i started before. So i moved then to millan in paris. And then in 1996 i came to new york. Why did you come to new york . Why not stay in paris or millan . I had an agent in paris and they saw me there. And they said we would love that you work for us in new york. So thats how i came. I came with visa here. And after few years, i applied for a green card. And then for the citizenship. You bring up the issue of immigration. You came here legally . Correct. I take it thats a big deal to you . It is a big deal. Because you follow the law. You obey the law. And i think other people should do that, too. I never thought just to sneak in to stay here it never crossed my mind. You want to be professional and you want to do the things the right way. Do you have a duel citizenship with slovenia now or not. Yes, i do. When you travel, you travel on which passport . I travel with american passport. Is it fun to be an american. Its great to be american. Yes. I love. Do you feel bad about leaving sort of your former country . No. I dont feel bad. This is my life here. I love it here. This is my life. And i have my family here. I love it. I love it from the first day i came here. And i had very successful modeling career. And then i stayed here. What magazine have you been on the cover of . Oooh, many. Like . Vogue, harpers bizarre. So many. Instyle. Inside many magazines like a lot. Seen my biography. Which will is the top ones . Vogue. Vogue would be the top one, yes. And when were you on vogue . I was in 2005. When i got married i was on vogue cover. The first bride on the vogue. After marrying donald trump . Yes. And melania is not the only woman in donalds life. His daughters tiffany and ivanka also hold a major piece of his heart. Back in 2014 before her father announced his candidacy, ivanka trump went on the record to talk about a possible run. Take a look. Always ask your father only this is a slight different one. Is he going to run for president or do you want him to run for president . Well, as an american, i would love him to run for president. He is incredibly smart, incredibly knowledgeable. He has had tremendous experiences which would prepare him for the challenge. As a daughter, its more complicated, obviously. Its a very tough life and the political ones is a challenge. But i think he would be an absolutely phenomenal president. One of the things which i think is key is he has very strong viewpoints but he always listens. So i think thats something we dont see enough of in politics. He is always asking questions. He is always listening and he is always interested in what other people have to say. And now its time to meet the sons. Eric trump and donald trump jr. Going on the record. Thats straight ahead. Plus, special access inside the trumps apartment. Melania takes you on a tour. Its next. Tired of redosing antacids . Try duo fusion new, two in one heartburn relief. The antacid goes to work in seconds. And the acid reducer lasts up to 12 hours in one chewable tablet. Try new duo fusion. From the makers of zantac. Its time to meet the trumps. And now Melania Trump takes you inside the trump penthouse in trump tower on fifth avenue. Before he decide to do run for president , what was your day like . I mean, what time did donald get home from work. Normally he goes in the office in the morning, wake up very early. Goes to the office and he is back by 7 00. So we try to have a dinner together. He doesnt drink, right . He doesnt drink. And your son is how old . He will be 10 soon. Who is the disciplinarian you or donald . I am. Im raising my child. Here we team all the time. Im raising him. Im teaching him values and morals and preparing him for adult life because one day he will have wings as we say and he will pray on his own. I just want to raise him the right way. I dont want nanny raising him. He needs a parent at home. You have some pictures actually. Yes. Yes. He was 3 weeks old and so and then here he was like almost a year and we have a few pictures. Are you tough . Yes, im tough. You are a tough parent . Im fair. I let him be who he is. He is my child. But, i dont want to change him. He is who he is. And he try to give him traditions and values and morals into his life but i dont try to change him. I like that he has his own yes and his own no. Perception that donald has a rough language with women. He treats everybody equally. You are a woman, you are a man. He treats everybody equally and he will tell you what is on his heart and what he thinks. He wont hold back. Is he a real person. Is he funny. Is he funny. He has a great sense of humor. He likes to have a good time and he loves to get together with family and friends what annoys him what what does he get mad about. Stupidity. Really, like what . And i do too. If something is not done the right way and especially if you tell somebody to not do it. He likes the right things to be done. He doesnt like it. He doesnt like somebody who is not competent to do it. Who is more likely to apologize first in a fight. We dont have fights. Never a fight or argument. We dont have fights. We disagree. Thats okay. Thats very good in the relationship. Im with my observe brains and is he with his own brains. You never gotten heated. No. You never had an argue. I tell him my way and he accept that. And i tell him what i think and he is the same. He thinks what he thinks. The rest of us argue a little bit. I no. No. These are great picks this is your son. This is barron, this is for halloween a few years ago. This was on our wedding night. And at home and within barron and donald going for baseball. This is donalds dad, fred. When he graduated. His mother is right here. And, of course, there he is on the cover of the magazine. My parents, my mom and dad. Are your parents still living . Yes. They are here. They are here a lot, yes. Yes. They love to spend time with my son and he loves them and now is he a perfect age, too. They are really close together. And, of course, it helps with all the traveling, too. Of course, of course.
