In an interview before his federal arraignment, former President Donald Trump discussed his wife, Melania Trump, who has been the center of many theories but visibly absent as of late. However, Trump said she has an “amazing” attitude about his current legal troubles.
Trump’s comments came before he entered a “not guilty” plea to the 37 felony charges brought against him in relation to his handling of classified documents.
Speaking with Roger Stone on WABC radio, Trump said that his wife didn’t care about much for his current legal troubles when the Republican asked him about her.
“A lot of people texted me about this and emailed me in preparation for the show. People want to know how she’s doing, how she feels about your 2024 campaign to regain the White House, and how she’s holding up during these outrageous, unfair, politically motivated attacks on you,” Stone said to Trump.
“She’s a terrific person. She’s a very beautiful person,” Trump said. “As you know, she made a tremendous amount of money when she was very successful as a model.”
Trump continued, describing his wife as “very low-key,” adding that she “doesn’t care that much” but that she’s hurt when her family is hurt.
“She’s got an attitude that’s amazing. She’s got a tremendous heart,” Trump said. “But she takes things for what they are, and she’s just a very confident person. She doesn’t need things like some people. They’re always pushing themselves out there – she’s the opposite.”
Trump also said that while he delivered speeches to Republicans in Georgia and North Carolina, he saw support for the former first lady in the crowd.
“I noticed signs all over the room: ‘We love our first lady, we love our first lady.’ Pictures of Melania all over the place,” he said. “People love her. They love the fact that she does not push herself out there. And she’s respected by everybody.”
The former first lady was not present when Trump made his appearance in Miami to be arraigned, continuing the streak of absences from the spotlight surrounding her husband.
