[It's from her husband that she has
learned the most about how to survive
as a Trump, and how to protect
her own interests.

As Ms Jordan puts it: 'She has a
ringside seat to how he negotiates
and if you read his books,
when you have leverage [that's] when you
move in.
When he entered politics all of a sudden
she had new leverage.
'She saw her moment and if he wanted
her to go to Washington,
to do something that she did
not sign up for,
they needed to renegotiate the prenup.
'I talked to a lawyer who did one
of his prenups – not the Melania one,
but for Marla Maples,
his second wife – and it was
incredible how little she got.

'Melania – I didn't get specifics – wanted
a more equal share for Barron.
I think she's very smart
and a good negotiator.'

There's no denying, that for all this
apparent wiliness,
Melania's first entry to the
East Wing – where the office
of the First Lady is located – was naive
and ill-prepared.
'In 2017, she was in the midst
of a big feud with [her stepdaughter]
Ivanka who took some of
the [roles of] the First Lady,' says
Ms Jordan. 'This time she will be wiser
and have better people around her.

'Hopefully people that won't let
her wear jackets with rude things
on the back [referring to the
infamous jacket Melania wore
to a migrant child detention centre with
'I don't care' emblazoned it.'

Perhaps it's the memory of this bruising
experience that led to Melania enlisting
Goldman Sachs bigwig
John F.W. Rogers not long after her
husband's re-election to advise her on
hiring new staff.]
