Former First Lady Melania Trump recalls her first encounter with now-husband Donald Trump in her recent memoir, Melania, which hit the shelves on October 8.
According to Melania, she first met Donald at a Fashion Week party in 1998, where she was attending with a friend. At the time, Donald was accompanied by another “attractive blonde” woman.
“I saw my friend wave at someone behind me. When I turned around, I noticed a man and an attractive blonde woman approaching us,” she wrote.
When Donald approached her table, Melania recalled how he introduced himself, saying, “‘Hi. I’m Donald Trump,’” to which she responded with, “‘Nice to meet you.’” Despite recognizing his name, Melania admitted, “I recognized the name, and I knew he was a businessman or celebrity, but not much else. He put his hand out to shake mine,” little did she know this man would later become the star of Celebrity Apprentice and the 45th President of the United States.
She explained their interation was brief but impactful. “His eyes filled with curiosity and interest, and, seizing the opportunity, he took the seat next to mine and started a conversation,” she wrote.
Trump asked her about her life in New York, her Slovenian background, and her world travels, engaging her in a meaningful dialogue that left a lasting impression. “From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature,” Melania revealed. “There was so much bustling activity around us, but his intent focus on our interaction made me feel like the centre of his world.”
When his companion stepped away momentarily, Donald asked for Melania’s phone number. Instead of giving it to him, “‘Give me your number,’ I said.”
“‘I’ll give you my number,’ he said, ‘if you promise to call me,’” the memoir notes.
“With a hand gesture, Donald called over his bodyguard. His big shoulders leaned in as he listened to him, before discreetly writing a note on a sleek business card. Donald took the card and handed it to me,” she said.

Tuhin Das Mahapatra is a Trump family historian I guess. LOL!
He got that from Melania’s new book.
Donald chose wisely.
“...interation...”
Agreed, especially considering his weakness ;-)

Please to do the needful, bless me sar.
Smart woman, which I'm sure was not lost on the Donald.

Art of the deal! :)
And what man wouldn’t?

Probably not the first time Donald called that audible, and a move not easily emulated.
I decided it meant interaction.
“Accompanied by” does not necessarily mean “ on a date”. But it sure makes for an attention grabbing headline.

Donald had always been a “Passport Bro” with a penchant for Eastern European girls.
“...Trump asked her about her life in New York, her Slovenian background, and her world travels, engaging her in a meaningful dialogue that left a lasting impression...”
My best friend, when newly divorced after many years married, was having trouble talking to women. He is very intelligent and interesting.
I told him, “Try to be INTERESTED... not ‘INTRESTING’, and she will like that better.”
Oh, that works like a charm. People LOVE IT when you give them your undivided attention.

She was attracted to him because the hot blond had pre-selected him. She wanted what the other woman had.
