Still Married

After the Trumps were married, that certainly wasn't going to be the end of the media circus if Donald Trump had any control over that. Instead, Donald Trump and Melania Trump granted their first interview as a married couple to Larry King roughly three months later.

Since they had only been married a matter of months, some could argue that Melania Trump didn't know what it would be like to be Donald Trump's wife. However, since the couple had been together for many years before their marriage, Melania Trump almost certainly had a very good idea.

When King began interviewing the Trumps, his first questions focused on how they met and became a couple. However, the topic eventually changed and King began questioning Melania Trump about what it is like to be Donald Trump's partner and wife.

First, Larry King asked Melania Trump an interesting question. "Is he a control freak?" In response to that question, Melania Trump confirmed that Donald Trump has high expectations for everything in his life while still defending her husband.

"I don't think he's a control freak. He's a perfectionist... Maybe he makes demands in his business because he needs to. You know, he's kind of a general. He needs to, you know, have people in line. But not at home. We are very equal in the relationship and that's very important."

From there, Melania Trump went on to express her opinion about the kind of woman someone has to be to marry Donald Trump.

"You know, to marry a man like Donald, is, you know, you need to know who you are. And you need to be very strong, and smart, and you know, he needs to know he can rely on me sometimes. You know? And we share a lot of stuff together. I don't think he's a control freak at all."

King then went on to ask Melania Trump if Donald Trump brought work home with him. In response, Melania Trump revealed that anyone who is married to Donald Trump has to know his career keeps him very busy.

I don't want, you know, to say come home and be with me. I don't want to change him. I want to give him space and I think that's very important in a relationship."

At this point in the conversation, King began talking to Donald Trump about his views on marriage. As Donald Trump expressed his opinion that you shouldn't have to work on a marriage, Melania Trump physically expressed her agreement. The implication seemed to be that neither of them felt they had to work hard on their marriage at that time.

As the interview progressed, Melania Trump told King that she cooked for Donald Trump sometimes. However, she stated that the two of them went out together far more often than they stayed in.

Given that Donald Trump has always boasted about his fortune, King's next question to Melania Trump made perfect sense. When King asked what it is like to be able to afford anything she wanted since she was Donald Trump's wife, Melania Trump assured him she was not a big spender. In response, Donald Trump completely agreed. "She has never taken advantage of that situation, as many women would have, frankly."

  • Born on April 26, 1970
  • Born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia (now known as Slovenia)

In arguably the most interesting part of the conversation, Larry King began talking about the nice and generous side of Donald Trump. King then asked Melania Trump what the public didn't know about her husband and she began singing Donald Trump's praises.

"Amazing heart. He likes to help people. He has friends. He's loyal to it. He is, great sense of humor. Great sense of humor... The way he is, he cares about people."

The final notable thing that Melania Trump said about her marriage to Donald Trump came when King asked if she was worried about infidelity. "No. I don't worry about that at all. I know who I am and if a man doesn't want to be with me, or, I don't want to be with a man."
