Former First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday posted a preview to social media for her upcoming memoir, due for publication in October, in which she appeared to criticize the media.
“As an individual who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misunderstanding, I feel a responsibility to set the record straight. I believe it is important to share my perspective – my truth,” she said in a trailer posted to X.
Melania Trump's first memoir, “Melania,” is scheduled for public release on October 1, but as of August 26, preorders had already topped several best-selling books lists on Amazon.
The former first lady also said, “Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me.”
