CThe type of woman wants to represent the 54 year old Melanija Knavs, who returned First Lady after the re -election of her consort Donald Trump to President of the USA? I confess that his appearance on the oath day frozen my blood. That severe cut coat, the punitive white collar, the black gloves, but above all that hatto cover the eyes, they transmitted rigor. And distance. The same he forced her husband who tried to kiss her in vain.
A nice difference compared to the sugar -resorted complete worn in the previous ceremony. If the idea was to score a change of pace, Melania succeeded immediately. But in which direction? The explanation is emerging from the first public raids of the First Lady, who interviewed himself on the documentary taken from his autobiography.
Trump’s wife will no longer be a shadow behind her husband or an inconstant presence in the White House. His intention is to “be there” and count. Starting from the commitment in the campaign on the mental health problems of young people and the use of social media. According to some media, its preparations would include the study of foreign policywhich considers an essential formation to fulfill its task.

But the most clear image of the New Melania was broadcast by his official photo: a black and white portrait, standing behind a mirror desk behind Washington’s obelischi-fetish. The tailleur pants with the white shirt recalls the penalty of the oath’s outfit. Melania does not grant any smile, the hands laid on the desk give her a decisive attitude.
According to some commentators, the photo would recall that of her husband who has chosen a somewhat arrogant pout. But if there is one thing that Melania is trying to communicate, from the use of the hat onwards, it is precisely the distance from Donald. No longer “shadow wife”, always a step back, but “partner on par”, with a political role.
You will say that Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama have already done it. Exact. One then applied for president, the other was tempted. Could it be the beginning of a climb?
