Speaker 2:Oh for sure. It's like everyone's trying to decipher some kind of secret code. You know, is this a calculated move for the election, a tell-all, or something totally different?
Speaker 1:Right, and that's what we're here to unpack. We're taking a deep dive into all the hype surrounding Melania. Melania Trump's new memoir.
Speaker 2:And you know it's fascinating With memoirs. It's always about shaping a legacy, but for Melania, releasing this just a few weeks before the 2024 election.
Speaker 1:Well, it just adds a whole other level, right.
Speaker 2:Totally. It's like impossible to separate the personal from the political, especially since, like Donald Trump himself is bringing the book up at rallies, he's already weaving it into the campaign for sure.
Speaker 1:Exactly.
Speaker 2:It seems like Melania is really trying to like establish herself outside of just being the wife of. She's taking control of her own narrative.
Speaker 1:Yes, like that part where she talks about growing up in Slovenia, it's not just a walk down memory lane. It feels more like she's laying down the foundation of who she is as a person.
Speaker 2:Exactly. And that whole theme of independence. It pops up again and again. How she talks about her marriage, how she raised Baron, Even those like kind of icy stares she gave at certain state dinners.
Speaker 1:Okay, you know we all want to hear about those.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:It's like we're finally getting a glimpse behind the curtain.
Speaker 2:Right, and this is where it gets really interesting. She doesn't shy away from the tense moments, like when she talks about her decision to only have one child. Remember all those rumors about Donald wanting a bunch more kids?
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, it was like every week there was a new headline.
Speaker 2:Well, she tackles that head on. She talks about wanting to make her own choices, prioritize her own life, which you know is a pretty powerful statement in a relationship that's constantly under a microscope.
Speaker 1:It really flips the script.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:Right, because I think a lot of people had this image of her being really quiet, really reserved. But this, this shows a much more complex person.
Speaker 2:It really does, and it's not just her personal life either. Right, like it carries over into her time as First Lady too, yeah actually, we're not just talking about her fashion choices or how she handled those state dinners. This is about like navigating a role that everyone knows is super restrictive, and it sounds like she found ways to focus on what mattered to her and, you know, leave her mark.
Speaker 1:Totally. And speaking of those state dinners, remember you mentioned those icy glares earlier. Well, there's this one part where she talks about that whole. I really don't care, do you? Jacket incident.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, that was the whole. Thing.
Speaker 1:Right, everyone and their mother had a theory about it, but in the book she's saying it was meant for the press, like she wanted to call them out for constantly analyzing what she wore and trying to paint her as unhappy.
Speaker 2:So she was using her clothes to send a message. Huh, interesting.
Speaker 1:Exactly. And I mean, you can agree or disagree with her methods, but you can't say it didn't get people talking.
Speaker 2:Right.
Speaker 1:It definitely challenged how people saw her, kind of like what this memoir is doing. Now that I think about it, For sure.
Speaker 2:And while we're on the subject of things that challenge perceptions, let's talk about her Be Best initiative you mentioned. You wanted to get into that and it sounds like she's pretty open about the struggle she faced with it.
Speaker 1:Oh, yeah, for sure, especially like all the criticism she got. Some people questioned if it was actually doing anything, and then there were those who said it was hypocritical, considering, you know, some of her husband's online activity.
Speaker 2:Right, and that's where things get really personal. She talks about how hard it was being under that microscope all the time, the pressure of being in the public eye and trying to keep all that negativity away from Barron.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it makes you think right, Because at the end of the day, no matter what your political views are, most people understand wanting to shield their kids from that kind of judgment.
Speaker 2:Absolutely, and it just adds another layer to how we see her time as First Lady. You know she wasn't just going to events and making appearances. She was dealing with the same anxieties and pressures a lot of parents go through, just on a much bigger stage. Plus, she was trying to use her position to address issues that she felt were important, even if they weren't always received well.
Speaker 1:And that's something I feel like we forget sometimes with all the political drama the fact that these figures, they're human beings too. It's true. With all the headlines in the news cycles, it's easy to forget there's an actual person behind all of it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, definitely. And you know what else is interesting about this memoir?
Speaker 1:What's that?
Speaker 2:It's like we finally get to hear Melania's voice directly. For so long it's been through other people, right the media, her husband, but here in these pages it's just her telling her story.
Speaker 1:It's pretty powerful when you put it like that. After years of everyone speculating, this is her chance to set the record straight on her own terms.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and she even talks about that a bit in one of the excerpts about how she chose silence a lot, but not because she was weak or anything. She actually saw it as like a strategy, a way to navigate a world that was constantly trying to define her.
Speaker 1:Wow, so she's taking back control of the narrative, like we were talking about before.
Speaker 2:Exactly, and it makes me wonder, as you really delve into this book will this be the thing that finally lets us see past the Melania Trump that we think we know? Will we get to connect with the actual woman behind the image, or or what. Or will it leave us with even more questions? You know we'll just add to the mystery surrounding her.
Speaker 1:That's the big question, isn't it? I have a feeling everyone's going to be thinking about that as they read Melania. I mean, it's a story about ambition, about marriage and motherhood. It's about navigating a world that most of us can't even imagine.
Speaker 2:It really is.
Speaker 1:But it's also about finding your own voice, which I think we can all relate to.
Speaker 2:A hundred percent. So to everyone listening as you start your own deep dive into Melania, keep that in mind. Look for those moments where she lets her guard down you know those glimpses behind the curtain and see if you don't come away with a better understanding of who she really is.
Speaker 1:And we want to hear all about it. Tell us what you think. Until next time, no-transcript.
