Trump Admits Not Reading Melania's Memoir, Jokes at Rally

Donald Trump has acknowledged that he has not read his wife Melania Trump's forthcoming memoir, citing his busy campaign schedule as the reason. At a rally in Long Island, New York, the Republican candidate encouraged his supporters to purchase the book, describing it as "great" despite admitting he hadn't read it.

"I hope she said good things," Trump remarked, adding, "I don't know. I didn't [read it]. So busy." This admission comes as Melania Trump, 54, prepares to release her memoir in the coming weeks, marking her first significant public appearance since departing the White House in January 2021.

The former First Lady, known for her multilingual abilities and fashion background, has maintained a low profile since leaving office. She recently broke her silence to promote her book through social media, addressing various aspects of her life, including her modeling career.

Melania Trump's memoir is expected to cover her early relationship with Trump, 78, as well as provide insights into her time in the White House and her experiences as a mother. As the second foreign-born First Lady and the first naturalized U.S. citizen to hold the position, her perspective offers a unique glimpse into American political life.

At the rally, Trump jokingly told the crowd, "If she says bad things about me, I'll call you all up and I'll say, 'Don't buy it. Get rid of it'." This event marked his first public appearance since a reported assassination attempt at his West Palm Beach, Florida resort on September 15, 2024.

In a subsequent Fox News interview, Trump discussed the incident, suggesting he would have confronted the assailant with a golf club had the Secret Service not intervened. He also commented on media coverage and UFO sightings, claiming that fighter pilots have reported seeing unidentified objects moving at extraordinary speeds.

Throughout her time as First Lady, Melania Trump launched the "Be Best" initiative, focusing on children's well-being, online safety, and opioid abuse. She was involved in various charitable causes and received the "Woman of Distinction" award from Palm Beach Atlantic University in 2020.

As the 2024 presidential campaign intensifies, the release of Melania Trump's memoir adds another dimension to the public's understanding of the Trump family and their time in the White House.

"People love our first lady. Go out and get a book. She just wrote a book."
