Melania Trump’s former aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, has claimed she believes the model’s marriage to the former President is purely ‘transactional’.
While speaking to CNN’s Jake Tapper, she claimed the idea of Melania Trump being ‘mysterious’ isn’t true.
She said: “There is no enigma, there is no mysteriousness.
“Melania really is who she has portrayed herself to be. There is a strength within her that is unlike any other individual I have ever met. She does not care what others feel about her nor does she feel she had to ever explain anything to the American people.”

Her former confidant and aide added Donald and Melania Trump’s relationship is more of a “transactional marriage in so many ways that they both garnered so much out of their relationship.”
She added: “By marrying Donald, Melania really did finally get to be the Vogue cover model that she’s always wanted to be, that supermodel, and by marrying Melania, Donald was legitimized as trying to get away from that whole playboy mentality that everyone wanted to characterize him as.”
Stephanie is a critic of Melania since they had a falling out, and she wrote the book ‘Melania and Me’.
When asked if she believes the former First Lady would be appearing in court to support Trump during his hush money trial involving Stormy Daniels, Stephanie doesn’t think so.
“I don’t think we’re going to see Melania Trump accompanying Donald to court,” she told Tapper.
“Melania is Melania’s own person, in regards, again, to a marriage that you want to consider to be something that most people are trying to still understand, don’t.”
“I do not see her supporting him this way because she is not someone who, I think, that you can feel that humiliation without having to put yourself in front of the cameras,” she added.
“Everything Melania does is staged, so everything is articulated in a way for her before she does her interviews. So everything, like I said, is very strategically planned. She is not going to put herself in a position where she’s giving anyone the opportunity to say anything negative about her.”
The TV star, who is hoping to become the next leader in the White House again, is accused of falsifying business documents to cover up a hush money payment he allegedly made to adult firm star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 election.
Prosecutors say Trump paid the figure to silence the star over their alleged sexual encounter from 2006.
Trump has denied all claims and charges against him.
Melania Trump and Donald married in 2005 and share son Barron together.
