Melania is Donald Trump's 'fiercest protector,' ex-White House aide says
Former White House aide Cliff Sims, in his recently-released memoir Team of Vipers, has stated that contrary to what media has reported about President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump's relationship and their marital strife, the couple, in fact, share a healthy relationship.
Sims, in his book, highlighted one particular moment on election night, writing: "The man who is never at a loss for words was rendered speechless by the verdict of history, and he looked, just for the briefest of moments, vulnerable."
"Sensing this was Melania Trump. Melania was never the person outside observers seemed convinced that she was — a reluctant and put-upon spouse who just wanted to escape him. For good or ill, she was in it with him all the way," wrote Sims, who was on the communication team as a special assistant to Trump until 2018.
