Melania Trump Unveils Personal Memoir Ahead Of October 1st Release
Former First Lady Melania Trump announced the release of her highly anticipated memoir, "Melania," set to hit shelves on October 1st.
According to Daily Mail Online, Mrs. Trump teased the book as an opportunity to share her perspective and "the truth" about her life in the public eye.
The memoir is already available for pre-order on Amazon for $30. In the promotional video, Mrs. Trump explained her decision to write the book and described it as a deeply personal and reflective journey.
She stressed the importance of setting the record straight and sharing her perspective, especially as someone frequently subjected to public scrutiny and misrepresentation.
Memoir To Cover Personal And Political Life
The 48-second video showcases various aspects of Melania Trump's life, including scenes from her time in the White House, her trip to Africa, and her work on the Be Best campaign.
It also features photographs from her modeling career and her early days as a mother to son Barron. Donald Trump makes an appearance in the video as well, highlighting the book's coverage of both her personal and political life.
According to the book's summary, "Melania" will delve into her Slovenian childhood, her journey through the world of high fashion in Europe and New York, and the serendipitous meeting with Donald Trump that changed the course of her life. The memoir promises to offer behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the White House and shed light on her advocacy work.
Mrs. Trump is offering two editions of the book: a standard memoir edition priced at $40, with signed copies available for $75, and a collector's edition featuring 256 full-color pages and the author's signature for $150.
First Personal Account From The Former First Lady
This memoir marks the first time Melania Trump has personally shared her story, despite being the subject of numerous biographies and books in the past.
The announcement in July that she would be releasing a memoir came as a surprise to many, given her typically private nature.
Melania Trump said:
As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth.
The book is being published by Skyhorse Publishing, a company known for working with Trump supporters such as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
Melania's Post-White House Life And Future Plans
Since leaving the White House in January 2021, Melania Trump has maintained a relatively low profile.
She has not been heavily involved in her husband's 2024 presidential campaign, making only select appearances at events such as his campaign announcement and the Republican National Convention.
The former First Lady has focused on some foster care issues in her post-White House life and has hosted fundraisers for Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative LGBTQ group.
Financial disclosure reports have shown that Mrs. Trump earns substantial income from speaking fees, property rentals in New York and Slovenia, and a non-fungible token (NFT) licensing agreement.
Melania’s Memoir Sparks Growing Curiosity
It remains unclear whether Melania Trump worked with a co-author on the memoir or if she plans to embark on a book tour to promote its release. The upcoming publication offers a rare opportunity for the public to hear directly from the former First Lady about her experiences and perspectives.
As the October 1st release date approaches, interest in "Melania" is likely to grow, with many curious to read her account of life in the White House and her relationship with former President Donald Trump. The memoir promises to provide insight into the often-enigmatic figure who has captivated public attention throughout her time in the spotlight.
