It has been noted that former First Lady Melania Trump’s former aide, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff blasted the reported reason she has been absent from the campaign trail as “pathetic” via The Blast.
Wolkoff had been Melania’s close confidant and first hire as first lady in 2016. However, their relationship fell apart, and the ex-aide had to leave the White House in 2018.
The whole incident took place after an anonymous source told The Independent last Saturday that the reason Melania has been absent from her husband, Trump’s campaign trail was because she had been “betrayed by her staff” during her first White House residency.
The source cited the 2020 book “Melania and Me,” by Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, Melania’s supposed former “best friend” and her first hire following Trump’s 2016 election win.
That “excuse” apparently didn’t sit well with Wolkoff, who has now taken to X (formerly Twitter) to slam it as “pathetic.”
“The AUDACITY!” Wolkoff wrote. “For any human being to make EXCUSES for Melania Trump not campaigning with Donald because she ‘felt betrayed by her staff’ is PATHETIC.”
“Melania LIED & watched the media & her WH CRUCIFY me & then she used her DOJ to try and SILENCE me,” she added. “EVIL!”
According to CNN, a source shared that the role the Slovenian-born former model would plan in her husband’s campaign is still up in the air and undecided.
The news outlet reported that Melania doesn’t have a ramped-up role just yet but cautioned that she can always decide to hit the trail on her own accord.
