Amway Center Arena in Orlando, Florida, is where Donald Trump, with his wife, Melania Trump, by his side, announced to the world that he was running for reelection.
That was in June 2019. In front of a large and devoted MAGA crowd, Donald Trump laid out his policies and promised to make America even better.
The former reality star said: “Tonight I stand before you to officially launch my campaign for a second term as President of the United States. I promise you, I will never ever let you down.”
He went on to say: “We are going to keep America great again.” He continued to reveal that Melania Trump was “excited” to be first lady for six more years.
Now the world is discovering how deep Melania Trump’s excitement truly ran. According to The Washington Post, the reelection announcement in Florida at a campaign rally was not Donald Trump’s idea.
The real estate mogul wanted to repeat his biggest coup: the famous escalator ride at Trump Tower. For his first attempt at the White House, Trump, like a king, descended the shiny escalator at his most famous building in New York, holding hands with his glamorous wife.
He announced that he was officially in as a candidate and went on to drop his most infamous line about Mexicans.
Donald Trump wanted to ride that escalator again, and Melania Trump brutally or even savagely told him to get more creative.
The Washington Post shared a private conversation between Donald Trump and his spouse in which they were discussing the announcement for the 2020 presidential election.
Melania Trump used 5 powerful words to put some sense in her husband. A former staffer, who spoke to the media outlet, shared some details about the telephone conversation between Melania Trump and Donald Trump.
The person stated: “He would call her from the Oval all the time and ask questions. He called and said, ‘Should I come down the escalator again?’ She said, ‘No, you’ve already done that.”
Another staff member explained that Melania Trump is a force to be reckoned with during her husband’s meetings and campaign decisions.
The insider stated: “She sits in on some meetings, but she rarely hovers, and is never shy about giving her opinion.”
Melania Trump’s former chief of staff, Staphanie Grisham, told The Post that her former boss is her own boss and does what she wants when she wants.
She confessed: “The attitude I admired about her the most was that she did what she wanted when she wanted to. She was pretty much the only person I’ve ever seen who he kind of bows down to.”
Despite Melania Trump’s decisive role, Donald Trump ran a doomed reelection bid that led to Joe Biden entering the White House as president.
