Summary

In this “scrupulously reported biography” (NPR) Jordan documents how Melania Trump had discussing being First Lady nearly two decades before she landed in the White House and how she encouraged her husband to enter the race for president.

Based on interviews with more than one hundred people in five countries, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump is “an extraordinary work” (Salon) that draws an unprecedented portrait of the first lady. We see that behind the scenes Melania Trump is not only part of President Trump’s inner circle, but for some key decisions she has been his single most influential advisor.

Jordan interviewed key people in Melania's close circle who speak publicly for the first time and uncovered never-before-seen photos and tapes of the tall woman with “tiger eyes,” as a judge in an early modeling contest said. The Art of Her Deal shows Melania’s ascent from a modest life, tracing her journey from childhood under a communist dictator to her complicated relationship with Donald Trump. The picture that emerges is “that the first lady is not a pawn but a player...and a woman able to get what she wants from one of the most powerful and transparently vain men in the world” (NPR).

And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase “the art of the deal,” this is the story of the art of her deal.

Changed my opinion of her..no shrinking violet!

As someone who has followed the Trump administration since that fateful day in November 2016 where DJT surprisingly won the election I have read many books of the campaign and his family members. Like many I used to see Malania as a bullied wife, someone who was pretty on the arm but not worthy of her US Einstein visa in any way. I felt sorry for her, and read all the articles on the popular theme of “free Melania” .
This book shows her as someone very much in control of her life,her relationship, her worth and her roles of both mother and First Lady.
She was born and raised in Slovenia, and has the typical of no nonsense Eastern Europe, she dreamt of moving away abroad to a better life.

It became obvious from the book that she does what she pleases and does not respond well to being told what to do, even by her husband. She did not intend to play the traditional First Lady and only moved to DC when her son had finished school in New York. When you are married to a man who doesn’t respect the sanctity of marriage, who is
also the President of the United States and values his public perception, you can see how she has mastered the art of manipulation.

It appears to have a deep affection for her husband, but whether she’ll remain Mr Trump after they leave the White House I have no idea!
