Melania Trump is becoming the former president’s anchor and “secret weapon,” according to his inner circle, as he confronts his most recent legal battle.

A source close to Trump told Page Six: “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.”

“Friends whisper these last few weeks have been hard on Trump, and although he always presents a tough front, these constant legal assaults are affecting his day-to-day life,” the insider continued.

Trump is required to respond to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a protective order in relation to Smith’s indictment of him for alleged criminal attempts to reverse the 2020 presidential election.

Additionally, he is embroiled in court proceedings in Florida and New York.

The source went on: “Melania’s even better than his regular golf games at keeping his temper in check. She provides a peaceful life for him when he needs it.”

“The couple and their son [Barron] have breakfast and dinner together regularly at their residence at his Bedminster golf club. [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. Melania keeps him on track as a father and has in many ways stepped up to fill the place Ivanka [Trump] and Jared [Kushner] once had . . . She is his most intimate and internal sounding board.”

Sources claimed she was fully behind his campaign. “She backs his bid for a second term completely, and listens to him when he needs someone he can trust . . . she is obsessively private, she never gossips with even her closest friends, so Trump knows when they talk about important things it’s just between them.

“She listens and isn’t afraid to give her honest opinions and advice,” according to the confidant.

“The couple has worked out a schedule and routine that works for them. She is his secret weapon to staying grounded.”

In March, the New York Post reported, “Trump’s daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared Kushner broke their silence Friday on their relative’s criminal indictment a day earlier, with Kushner claiming it demonstrated the “political strength” of the 45th president.”

Ivanka, age 41, posted the following statement on her Instagram Story: “I adore my father and my country. Today, I am sad for both of them.

“I appreciate the voices across the political spectrum expressing support and concern,” the former first daughter added.

Meanwhile, Kushner called the indictment secured by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “very unprecedented” and “very troubling” during an appearance at the Future Investment Initiative Institute’s priority summit in Miami Beach, Fla.

“I think that it shows, obviously, the fear that the Democrats have of Trump and the political strength that he has,” said Kushner, 42, who added that the grand jury process has been “hard to watch.”

“Just as a family member, obviously, Ivanka and I love him very much,” Kushner said of the 76-year-old former president, who was indicted by a Manhattan panel on 34 charges related to a hush-money payment allegedly made to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 presidential election.

“The opponents of him politically continue to break every norm over the last years to try to get him,” Kushner said Friday. “We saw them accuse him of colluding with Russia, we saw them impeach him, we saw them raid his home — and this is just a continuation of that.”

However, Kushner added, his father-in-law’s “resolve to take on big challenges to fight for change, to fight for the American people has only gotten stronger.”.

In June we reported “Trump was asked during a recent, much-discussed interview with Fox News host Bret Baier how his wife, former first lady Melania Trump was handling his legal issues after being indicted twice now. Trump insisted that she was with him “100%”.”

Nevertheless, where is Melania? Trump has spent the last several weeks battling the Democrats’ persecution, while she has been absent. Even the former president is campaigning for a second term in the White House; Melania Trump should be very vocal about this.

“She is a woman of great dignity and beauty and style,” Trump told Baier, in footage that aired on the night of Tuesday, June 20th. “She is a very popular first lady, although a lot of people might not know that one way or another.” CONTINUE READING…
