A recent resurfaced clip from 2005 has given a rare insight into the expectations Donald Trump had for Melania as his wife.
The video, which features a conversation between Melania and Donald on Larry King Live, sheds light on her perspective before they married.
At the time, Melania, now 54, spoke about the “old-fashioned” values she was expected to uphold in her marriage to Donald.
Melania’s Take on Marriage Expectations
In the video, Melania shared that she was fully aware of Donald’s expectations before they tied the knot.
When asked if Donald was controlling, she clarified that while he wasn’t overbearing, he did have certain rules that came with their marriage.
“I knew what I was getting into. Donald has his demands, but I knew this before I said ‘I do,'” Melania explained.
She went on to emphasize that loyalty and respect were central to their relationship.
Donald, she said, had high expectations and wanted a wife who would stand by his side while understanding her role.
Melania described the need to be “strong and confident” to marry him, reflecting on the values that shaped their partnership.
Reactions from Social Media
The clip quickly gained attention on social media, especially with the renewed interest in Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential race.
Viewers were surprised by Melania’s candidness, with many sharing their thoughts in the comments.
One user remarked, “Awesome interview. Who else watched this in November 2024?”
Others expressed admiration for Melania’s composure, with one commenter noting that, despite the public’s criticism of her as First Lady, she remained “classy throughout all of it.”
Some even praised the Trumps for their authenticity, saying the interview should be shared widely to show “how genuine, kind, intelligent, formidable, and principled” they are.
A Look at Melania’s Health and Diet
This isn’t the first time a video of Melania from the past has resurfaced. Another clip from Inside Edition reappeared this week, giving viewers a glimpse into her strict daily routine.
In 2019, the publication reported that Melania maintained a rigorous diet that included a smoothie made from spinach, carrots, blueberries, apple juice, and fat-free yogurt each morning.
Her diet also featured seven pieces of fresh fruit, with apples and peaches being her favorites.
While she follows a disciplined eating plan, Melania is not immune to indulgence.
She has been known to enjoy dark chocolate and “occasional” ice cream, although she keeps an eye on portion sizes.
When in New York, her go-to dining spot is the Trump International Hotel, particularly the Jean-Georges restaurant located there.
Balancing Family Life and Public Duties
Despite her prominent role as First Lady, Melania has expressed a desire to step back from the limelight at times.
Earlier this month, it was reported that she would be splitting her time between Florida, Washington, D.C., and New York, where her 18-year-old son, Barron, is attending college.
This arrangement has drawn some criticism, with people accusing her of being overly involved in Barron’s life.
However, a source close to the Trumps revealed that Melania will be First Lady “on her terms,” managing her duties and family life as she sees fit.
Both Melania and Barron have made appearances on the campaign trail, with Barron showing support for his father at a rally in Miami in July.
He mirrored Donald’s signature fist-pumping pose and received a warm reception from the crowd.
Despite the occasional public scrutiny, it’s clear that Melania continues to play an integral role in the Trump family dynamic, balancing her public and personal responsibilities with poise.
