Former first lady Melania Trump has been away from the public eye since departing the White House several weeks ago. A former campaign strategist for her husband Donald Trump recently claimed that the former first lady is happy that her husband is more relaxed now that he is off of social media.
The January 6 riots at the Capitol have led Twitter, Trump’s favorite social media platform to permanently suspend his account. However, that may have done the former president and the former first lady some good too, according to Trump’s aide Jason Miller, who said that Melania is happy that her husband is more relaxed now. Speaking with the news outlet Sunday Times, Miller said that this is the first time he has seen the former president very relaxed despite the impending impeachment trials at the Senate.
“Only 45 other people in US history have experienced what it is like to have the world on their shoulders, and to be able to exhale, knowing that it’s not all on you for the first time in four years,” said Miller. “He’s said that not being on social media, and not being subject to the hateful echo chamber that social media too frequently becomes, has actually been good. That’s something the first lady has backed up as well. She has said she loves it, that he’s much happier and is enjoying himself more.”
Miller was among the close aides and allies who were present to send off Trump when he left the White House in the early hours of Joe Biden’s inauguration. The aide shared that Trump was actually in a good mood when he said goodbye to those who have supported him and that there were some warm moments with his family before he boarded Air Force One for the final time.
Meanwhile, the Justice Department has now dropped the lawsuit that it has filed against Melania’s former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff back in the Trump administration. Wolkoff was accused of violating the non-disclosure agreement when she published her tell-all book detailing what happened behind the scenes as well as her friendship with Melania. In a one-sentence filing, the acting assistant attorney general Brian Boynton said that the lawsuit was voluntarily dismissed.
