Former first lady Melania Trump reflected on her upbringing in Slovenia and talked about the concept of trust in a new interview, days after her memoir was published.
When asked to define the word trust, President Trump answered, said Mark Beckman, host of the Some Future Day podcast, said it was an “interesting statement.”
“Trust, that's an interesting word because you have to trust yourself first,” she said.
“And you find out whether you can trust others,” said former President Trump's wife Melania. “Trust can be expressed through actions and words.”
Going a step further, Mr. Beckman pressed the former first lady to have faith in the government.
“Trusting the government is a little bit difficult…because there are so many people involved in government, and that's why there are so many rules, and in some ways they don't control us. We shouldn’t,” she said.
Trump added, “Can we trust the government? We can't trust it with everything. We need to be vigilant.”
Her comments come less than a month after her husband suffered what appears to be his second assassination attempt. In an interview with Fox News in September, first lady Melania Trump outlined the first attack, when the former president was grazed in the ear by a bullet during a rally, calling it a “miracle” that her husband survived the threat. I called.
The incident brought national attention to the U.S. Secret Intelligence Service and its ability to provide adequate protection.
“On July 13th, we had such a miracle, but he couldn't be with us,” she said at the time.
In an interview Friday, Melania said she relies on her instincts.
“I always like to listen to my intuition, because it always proves me right, and that's very important to me,” she said.
Beckman also asked if there were consistent common traits among leaders she had met, such as Chinese President Xi Jinping and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“Yes, everyone is different. Everyone represents their own country, their own interests,” she replied, without elaborating.
Asked if her “confidence flag” goes up for these people, the former first lady said, “Of course it does.”
“If you're in public office, if you're an elected official, or the wife of an elected official, you're representing your country, you're representing the United States of America,” he apparently said. she said, pointing to herself.
