Donald and Melania both benefited from the wedding, a former adviser to the former first lady now explains.
Not a good start to the week for Donald Trump. It’s bad enough that, according to new polls, fewer undecided voters will vote for him because of his “guilty” verdict than previously thought. Now his wife’s former advisor is also making a shocking statement.
Marriage is a ‘business transaction’
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff writes on X that Donald’s marriage to Melania was merely a “business transaction” that benefited them both.
In her post, Winston Wolkoff included a video clip from the sixth season of Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice.” In it, Melania plays the dutiful mother of baby Barron, while Donald is portrayed as a caring father.

Winston Wolkoff writes about the real reason for the marriage: “Trump needed a woman who looked good, could play her role well and who would let him be the star.” The marriage was a ‘win-win situation’, which helped the couple ‘legitimize each other’.
She explained this further on CNN: By marrying a billionaire, Melania “finally became the ‘Vogue cover’ model she always wanted to be.” Trump benefited from the marriage by improving his image as a woman who could fight Playboy.
In another tweet, Winston Wolkoff wrote that the couple only entered the White House because of the show “The Apprentice.” She also quotes the book ‘Apprentice in Wonderland’ by Ramin Setoodeh: ‘He writes that Trump himself admitted that without the show he would probably never have become president.’
“If you love someone …”
In early June, Winston Wolkoff mocked Trump’s attorney Todd Blanche’s claim. He had told the press that Melania’s continued abstention from her husband’s trial “should not be taken as evidence that she does not love him or support him as a husband.”
The former White House aide then tweeted: “If you truly love and support someone, you will stand by them no matter what. Then it’s not about appearance.”
