Melania Trump's Ex-Aide Claims Former First Lady Is Living 'A Life In A Minefield'

Melania Trump's ex-aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, has given a scathing analysis of the former first lady's appearance at the recent MAGA fundraiser.

Wolkoff claimed that Melania looked like she was "about to dive head first into a pool of sharks" and that she "chose to live a life in a minefield."

The event, which was held in Palm Beach, had major MAGA donors in attendance, with a total of $50 million eventually raised.

Wolkoff has continued her streak of commenting on Melania, whom she worked with between 2016 and 2018.

The former senior adviser took to X (formerly Twitter) to share her opinion about Melania's appearance at a Mar-a-Lago fundraiser, one of the few the former first lady has attended since her husband, Donald Trump, declared his re-election bid.

In her post, Wolkoff quoted a video from the event featuring Melania with a bizarre look on her face as she stood beside Trump, who was giving a speech.

Wolkoff wrote, "Looks like Melania Trump is about to dive head first into a pool of sharks & nobody's going to protect her. I was the only lifeguard on duty when she was First Lady.

She added, "She chose to live a life in a minefield, where every step is treacherous & never sure when it might explode. She and he are one [and] the same."

The post of Melania has garnered over 1.6 million views since it was shared online, and over a thousand social media users have aired their views about the Slovenian-born former model's look.

"Looks like she just pooped in her pants. Certainly, she doesn't want to be standing anywhere near him," one person commented.

A second user wrote, "Can you interpret that look on her face? Lol, she looks like she's about to crawl right out of her skin!"

A third user remarked, "Why does it look like she is [slowly] running out of oxygen while trying to read the small print instructions on the escape hatch door?"

Some other X netizens commented that Melania wasn't forced to stay and should get along with the agenda.

A person said, "No sympathy for her. No one forced her to marry him and she's not being forced to stay. For both of them, it's all about the $$.

Another individual wrote, "She walked into this job with her eyes half wide open, knew EXACTLY what she was doing, how many $$$$$M  she was getting and that it was a lifetime gig...either his or hers!"

Wolkoff's criticism comes after she delivered another scathing analysis of Melania's tenure as a first lady, especially concerning her efforts toward child advocacy.

During a previous fundraiser, Melania received a "Child Advocacy Award" from Tom Homan, who served as the acting director of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the Trump administration.

In his speech, Homan claimed that the award was given to Melania "because she did so much for children when she was first lady."

However, Wolkoff countered in a tweet, saying, "There is so much Melania Trump COULD HAVE DONE for children when she was First Lady.

Melania was notably absent from the event, and her husband accepted her award instead. Her team has not disclosed the reason for her absence. However, her non-appearance once again raised eyebrows among MAGA supporters.

Recently, reports swirled about why Melania seems to have chosen not to be actively involved in her husband's re-election bid, despite his claims that she has an "active role" to play.

According to The Times, it was all down to Melania being betrayed by her staff during her former tenure, and she isn't keen on facing similar situations if Trump wins.

"When you look back, Melania was betrayed by her staff," the source claimed, seemingly referencing former aides Stephanie Grisham and Wiston, who released bombshell books about their time with Melania.

The source added, "Nowadays, she is less in view except under very controlled circumstances. She has dinner at Mar-a-Lago but doesn't mingle and hobnob with people like he does. It's a safe zone for him. She doesn't view it as a safe zone."

According to reports, Melania is finally set to dip her toes back into politics by holding an event for Log Cabin Republicans.

Politicoreported that the upcoming event will take place on April 20 at Melania and Trump's Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

The Log Cabin Republicans, a group that touts itself as "the nation's largest Republican organization dedicated to representing LGBT conservatives and allies," has had a close relationship with the 53-year-old since her tenure as First Lady.

Melania also received an award at a dinner the group threw at Mar-a-Lago in 2021, where she was the special guest. Trump himself gave a speech at a 2022 event held at the club by the group.

The Conservative group's April event will see the launch of its "Road to Victory" program, which aims to target voters in swing states ahead of the upcoming presidential election.
