While Donald Trump is an extrovert, Melania Trump is an introvert. While the US president-elect is brash and impulsive, the incoming first lady is composed and restrained.
The 46-year-old, who is almost a quarter century younger than her other half, is not a self-promoter and keeps her cards close to her chest. Unlike Michelle Obama, who is a bona fide social-media sensation — with a burgeoning Snapchat account and 7.7 million Instagram followers and counting — the Slovenian former model is a comparative recluse. She has just 409,000 Twitter followers and rarely gives interviews to the press. In turn, the public is left with a highly glamorous, elusive sidekick to make sense of.
Melania Trump, however, has had her fair share of headlines and is arguably better known for her controversies than her persona. She was accused of plagiarizing Michelle Obama in her address at the Republican National Convention. The New York Post republished a nude photo of the former model on its cover during the campaign.
Mrs. Trump was born in Slovenia in 1970.
At the time, Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia. It became an independent nation in 1991 when Yugoslavia broke apart.
Melania is the first, First Lady to be born in a communist country
Since Slovenia was part of Yugoslavia when she was born that makes Melania Trump the first, first lady to be born in a communist nation.
Melania Trump is the second foreign-born First Lady.
The other was Louisa Adams, wife of John Quincy Adams. Adams was born in London.
Melania became a model at age 16.
She worked in her home country, then in Italy before moving to the United States in 1996. She began modeling in this country shortly after moving here.
She is Donald Trump's third wife.
Donald was first married to Ivana Trump, then married to Marla Maples. Donald is only the second president who has divorced (the first was Ronald Reagan).
Melania had a very successful modeling career.
She has appeared on many magazine covers, including Vogue, GQ, Vanity Fair, and more. Many of these were before she married Trump.
Melania speaks six languages fluently.
Those languages are Serbo-Croatian, English, Italian, Slovene, French, and German. That's incredibly impressive!
Melania is only seven years older than Trump's oldest son.
There's a 24 year age difference between Trump and his wife. That makes her just slightly older than Trump's oldest son.
Melania is the only first lady to have appeared nude in a photo shoot.
Melania actually did several nude photo shoots before marrying Donald Trump. This makes her the only First Lady to pose nude in photographs (that we know of).
She is raising her son Barron to be the next Donald Trump.
Melania wants her son with Donald, Barron Trump, to take after his father. She likes calling him "Little Donald."
She is insistent she does not want people to feel sorry for her.
While it is easy for Melania Trump to disappear into the shadow of her larger-than-life husband, it would foolish to underestimate her: There is an undeniable strength steeliness even to Melania's cordially polite exterior. While many fall into the trap of feeling sorry for her, she is insistent she does not want pity or sympathy.
She is against online bullying.
Her main cause as First Lady will be to combat online bullying, especially among young people. This is a very noble cause.
