In February of this year, Trump said that Melania would be on the campaign trail “quite a bit” once her period of mourning for her mother was over.

“It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person,” Trump said, according to The Hill. “She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results. She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country.”

“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” he continued. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.”

Melania’s Devotion To Barron

Trump went on to describe Melania as a “very brilliant person,” who “speaks many languages” and is devoted to their 18 year-old son Barron.

“Her life evolves around that boy,” Trump explained. “It’s so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity. She’s a private person.”

“And she loves the country. She’s going to be out a lot but she does it for the good of the country, not for her,” he concluded. “She’s somebody with a lot of confidence. She doesn’t need that.”

One month before that, Trump said that Melania is “gonna play, and she always did play a big role. She was somebody that you could rely on.”
