Melania Trump teased her bombshell tell-all memoir with a dramatic black-and-white video, saying it was time to tell her perspective: ‘the truth.’
Her book, simply titled ‘Melania,’ will be released on October 1st. It is available for pre-order on Amazon for $30.
‘Writing this memoir has been a deeply personal and reflective journey for me,’ she said in a video posted to her social media accounts.
‘As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I believe it is important to share my perspective: the truth.’
Melania Trump released a dramatic video to promote her forthcoming memoir
The 48-second video opens with the former first lady speaking directly to camera. It also features scenes from her time in the White House, including her trip to Africa and working on her Be Best campaign.
There are also some photos from her modeling days and as a young mother with her son Barron. Donald Trump is shown.
The video is in black-and-white with dramatic music.
Melania Trump announced in July she was releasing a memoir, a stunning announcement from the normally private first lady.
In the book she ‘reflects on her Slovenian childhood, the pivotal moments that led her to the world of high fashion in Europe and New York, and the serendipitous meeting with Donald Trump, a chance encounter that forever changed the course of her life,’ according to its summary.
‘Melania opens up about their courtship, life in the spotlight, and experiencing the joy of motherhood. She shares behind-the-scenes stories from her time in the White House, shedding light on her advocacy work and the causes close to her heart.’
She is selling two editions: a $150 collector’s edition featuring 256 pages in full color throughout, with each copy signed by the author. The memoir edition will be 304 pages and available for $40 with signed copies available for $75.
‘Melania’ will be released by Skyhorse Publishing, which has published such Trump supporters as former New York City Mayor Rudolph Giuliani and attorney Alan Dershowitz.
The former first lady has been the subject of many biographies and books but this is the first time she is telling her story.
It is unclear if she worked with a co-author and if she will go on a book tour.
Melania Trump, 54, has been something of an enigma in public life.
The third wife of Donald Trump is intensely private and spent much of her White House years focused on raising her son Barron, who was a teenage at the time.
Her son is now at NYU’s Stern School of Business and her husband is running for a second term in the White House.
Melania Trump’s memoir retails for $30 with a special edition selling for $150
Donald and Melania Trump during his presidency – her memoir will talk about her time in the White House
After the Trumps left the White House in January 2021, Melania Trump maintained her low profile.
She has not been heavily involved in her husband’s 2024 campaign for the White House.
She appeared at his campaign announcement and at the Republican National Convention, where, unlike other spouses of candidates, she opted not to address the delegates.
She has yet to appear at a campaign rally.
She also didn’t attend the first presidential debate and has been careful to distance herself from her husband’s legal troubles.
She did host two fundraisers for Log Cabin Republicans, a conservative LGBTQ group.
And she’s worked on some foster care issues in her post-White House life.
Financial disclosure reports showed the former first lady earns a substantial income from speaking fees, properties in New York and Slovenia that she rents and her non-fungible token (NFT) licensing agreement.
