While it seems former First Lady Melania Trump has been more MIA towards the public, insiders claim it’s a much different story behind the scenes. In fact, insiders allege that Melania is Donald Trump’s “secret weapon” for staying calm amid the legal battles consisting of four indictments, among other lawsuits like the defamation trial from E. Jean Carroll.
Per the Net Worth Of, insiders consistently highlighted the assertion that Melania is Donald’s “secret weapon” for managing his stress. They compiled multiple different insiders who’ve recently spilled the beans on Melania’s relationship with the Home Alone 2 star behind the scenes, saying how, per Vanity Fair, “She is his most intimate and internal sounding board.”

They added what she does to minimize stress at every corner, saying, “Melania literally turns the news off at times so they can watch something else together, and she frowns over telephone or social media use at the table.”
Another insider from Page Six said she helps manage his stress easily by “keeping his temper in check. She provides a peaceful life for him when he needs it.” They added, “Melania is being credited by his friends with keeping President Trump ‘calm and focused’ amid the hellish week of his being indicted for the third time.”
The source from Page Six ended by saying, “She listens and isn’t afraid to give her honest opinions and advice. The couple has worked out a schedule and routine that works for them. She is his secret weapon to staying grounded.”
