Ivanka and Melania are stilettoing their way across a tightrope: staying in Trump’s good graces so that they might benefit if he rises again, while avoiding the current clown show.
are perhaps the most fascinating. Unlike the leading man in both of their lives, Ivanka and Melania both know the power of strategic silence; like him, they are both keen readers of the public temperature; and they both also get away with a level of disloyalty that the Trump family patriarch permits from no one else., with whom he is alleged to have had sex, in an effort to interfere with the 2016 election. His wife Melania had recently given birth to the couple’s sonto his daughter Ivanka.
Melania has offered even less. She is, to be fair, a nearly-perpetually-silent spouse. But one imagines that, given the allegations of an affair and Trump’s denial of the same, that he or his team at least asked her to show face at the trial to give the impression of either a belief in her husband’s innocence of infidelity or forgiveness for it.
The manic Trump brothers and their filler-faced right-wing wives and girlfriends are excruciatingly clownish figures; Melania and Ivanka seem more interested in being elegant and aspirational ones. But they also know that there is immense power in proximity to he who wears the crown—as long as he wears the crown, that is.
“Melania seems like a woman interested mostly in a life of beauty and ease, someone who likely either agrees with or doesn’t care about her husband’s ugly views...”There is one significant difference between the two women, and that is desire for power and influence.
