Melania and Me

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was part of the Trumps’ inner circle — until she wasn’t. Her memoir is a cautionary tale.

“I was there at the beginning,” Wolkoff writes. “I witnessed the transformation of Melania from gold plate to 24-karat gold. I believed she had the heart to match, that she was genuinely caring and loving and worth all of our attention. Throughout our early friendship, she lived up to what I saw in her. Watching her now, and seeing that only the gold shell remains, I have to wonder if that’s all she ever was, and I was the sucker who bought the fake watch on the street corner.


Yep, You are that sucker.

I'd honestly reserve judgment until he does the world a favor and pegs out and she's had to fight his first three children for her part of whatever he's left behind (besides legal bills and bankruptcies, that is).

Likely this gal was dumped out of the inner circle because for some reason, she wasn't in a position to do him any good.

But yeah, she's a sucker if she thinks any sort of a friendship with her can survive a malignant narcissist like him.
