5. She promoted the birther conspiracy
According to a Washington Post reporter, Melania is a lot more like her husband than she wants people to think, and part of that is her support of fringe conspiracy theories. Donald always believed in the “birther” theory, a racist idea that Obama wasn’t born in the USA. Melania backed up her hubby, claiming on a reality show in 2011 that the live birth certificate wasn’t real and that said it was “different” from a birth certificate.
6. She has a long-standing beef with Ivanka
Despite being her stepmother, Melania Trump often clashes with Ivanka, and the two have never gotten along. Melania calls her “the Princess,” while Ivanka snarkily calls her “the Portrait” since her stepmom rarely speaks. Melania also supposedly wore a jacket that read “I really don’t care, do U?” As a dig at Ivanka, and their relationship has been described as “cordial, but not close.”
7. She’s had her own skincare and jewelry lines
Just like her husband, Melania is quite an entrepreneur. Her jewelry lines were sold on QVC back in 2010, and after their success, she came out with the Melania Caviar C6 line of lotions and creams. Using caviar from the South of France, the line is a blend of “proteins, collagen builders, oxygen boosters, and antioxidants that restore youth to the skin.” However, the line faced legal issues when the new Sunshine parent company (the firm she initially partnered with) sued her company.
