“Game of Thrones” is nothing like the way Melania Trump and her stepdaughter Ivanka would have fought behind the walls of the White House during Donald Trump’s presidency.
A new book reveals the women’s ‘secret hostility’ after Trump’s daughter Ivanka wanted to act as a kind of second first lady and became a threat to Melania.
The former model, who has been married to Trump since 2005, spent her four years in the White House almost exclusively waging war against Ivanka Trump — only taking breaks to renegotiate her prenup with her presidential husband, says someone According to the New York Post report in the book ‘American Woman: The Transformation of the Modern First Lady’.
“Internal power struggle”
In the biography, journalist Katie Rogers describes a years-long ‘internal power struggle’ between the two women for the role of first lady, which is usually filled by the wife of the American president.
Immediately after her father’s election victory, Ivanka tried to take on tasks with his support and wanted to redesign the East Wing of the White House according to her needs.
The eldest Trump daughter even started the renovation work while her stepmother Melania stayed behind in New York to ensure that her son Barron, then 10 years old, could finish the school year.
“First Family” and “First Lady”
The eldest daughter had plans to more or less eliminate the position of first lady by taking over her quarters so that it could be “focused on the entire first family and not just the first lady,” Rogers writes.
None of this bothered President Trump; he even told reporters early in his term that his daughter would “assist and cooperate” with his wife in carrying out her duties as first lady.
Jacket with a message
The real First Lady is said to have been closely monitoring media reports and social media posts, as if obsessively. In turn, she sent more or less subtle messages to her young nemesis.
Remember the infamous jacket that said, “I really don’t care, do I?”? Loosely translated: “I don’t care, what about you?”
According to the book, it was not about the migrant children at the Mexican border that she visited in the jacket. The work claims that Melania used the jacket as a subtle tip against Ivanka, who was receiving a lot of press attention at the time.
Money makes the world go round
The power struggle didn’t stop there: While Melania fought for her role as first lady, she also regularly met with lawyers to focus on her prenuptial agreement before and after her marriage to Trump. Financial security for herself and her son was and is a major priority. It is unclear what she thinks about her husband’s renewed presidential ambitions. In any case, she is notable for her absence during the election campaign.
She is said to still be in contact with the White House and exchange birthday cards with her successor Jill Biden.
Model and fashion designer
Melania Trump, from Slovenia, was First Lady of the United States from 2017 to 2021. She was previously a model and fashion designer and married Donald Trump in 2005.
During her time in the White House, she focused on initiatives such as cybersecurity and child welfare. However, she was also known for her reserved nature and distant relationship with her husband.
Oldest daughter
Ivanka Trump is the eldest daughter of Donald Trump and his first wife Ivana Trump. She is a businesswoman, author and former model.
Ivanka Trump played an important role in the White House during her father’s presidency. She worked as an advisor to her father and had her own office in the West Wing. She also served in several diplomatic missions.
