8. She tried to get into NFTs

Although her foray into skincare didn’t go as well as she had hoped, her attempt to enter the NFT biz was an even bigger disaster. Towards the end of 2021, the former FLOTUS announced that she would launch her own non-fungible tokens. The first was called “Melania’s Vision,” and the proceeds would supposedly go to support the Be Best initiative. Then she announced another batch of NFTs, where buyers wouldn’t know what they’d bought until they actually purchased it. The sales of her first NFT collection didn’t go well. 

9. She’s obsessed with her public image

While she tried very hard to convince the public that she didn’t care what others thought of her, Stephanie Grisham said that Melania was actually obsessed with her image, scrutinizing her press clippings with obsession over the details. She apparently had Google alerts set up and was equally obsessed with her appearance, assessing every photo taken of her and quashing those she wasn’t impressed by. Many agree that this superficial obsession came from her modeling days. 

10. She stayed away when Donald was indicted

While many White House wives have stood by their husbands through all their trials and tribulations, Melania was absent when her husband appeared in an NYC courtroom and became the first president to be indicted and arrested on criminal charges. It was in relation to the Stormy Daniels case, which still makes Melania angry to this day. According to many, this silence was deliberate and a way of protecting herself.
