While Donald enjoys the excitement of running for public office, Melania prefers a slower-paced lifestyle.
These sorts of differences have long fueled rumors thatDonald and Melania’s marriage is on the rocks.
Despite this advice, Donald decided to continue seeing Melania.
Perhaps, he was simply following his heart.
As this anonymous individual shared, “I could tell that was not the answer he wanted.
He had made up his mind.
He said Melania was ‘central casting.'”
Apparently, the attraction was mutual.
According to photographer Antoine Verglas, Donald and Melania were constantly making eyes at each other.
Family friend Philip Bloch has gone public with his opinion that the two are nothing alike.
She’s the complete opposite of him, really."
According to aGQinterview, Melania and her husband see eye-to-eye on a lot of issues.
Do you understand what I mean?
So is my dad; he is a family man, he has tradition, he was hardworking.
So is my husband."
This could very well be true.
Both men have also faced scandals involving their tax filings and maintain an interest in nice things.
Of her father, Melania told GQ, “He likes quality.”
Donald, meanwhile, remains famous for his lavish lifestyle.
Apparently, she wanted to renegotiate her prenup.
According to Trump family expert Mary Jordan, both Donald and Melania enjoy quite a bit of alone time.
They are often in the same building, but nowhere near each other … She is a loner.
He is a loner.
They’re perfectly happy to be separated."
In the past, Melania has said as much.
He’s very supportive in that way."
“We like to do what we like to do, and we give ourselves and each other space …
In other words, both Donald and Melania value their own independence.
Jordan writes that she has done everything in her power to avoid that same failure.
Because of this, Melania has tried to shape herself into the woman whom Donald wants by his side.
As Jordan puts it in her book, “Melania praised him constantly.
She had few friends and a small family and seemed focused solely on Trump.
She was always impeccably dressed, her hair and makeup just so, never sloppy, always camera-ready.”
Per Jordan, “She continued to do exactly what Trump liked during their breakup period.
She stayed in; she dated no one.”
This is probably not a coincidence.
Historically, a president without a life partner has been entirely unelectable.
As a political candidate, Donald is much stronger with Melania by his side.
During the 2016 election, she played a major role in convincing women to vote for her controversial husband.
Of course, it’s hard to say exactly how a divorce would impact Donald’s political ambitions.
Melania is one of the few people who hasn’t abandoned Trump.”
Interestingly, Trump family expert Mary Jordan largely seems to agree with this assessment.
They were so apart that people worried that she actually could walk … One of these could very well pertain to the lack of stability Melania experienced during her childhood.
She grew up in a basic apartment without any frills.
