Maybe Melania isn't looking forward to life in a fishbowl. I hope their marriage isn't negatively impacted. Trump is so intense, I don't think he always does it on purpose, but he hogs the spotlight. But he does gaze with pride on his wife and family, especially so when Melania speaks; she doesn't seem to have a need to say a lot. He is a very powerful personality; she seems an equal to that. I wonder what brought her to do that photo shoot for Harper's now.
In their interview with Barbra Walters, both Melania and Donald insisted that Melania was one of the first to push Donald into running. She said that she believed he'd make a good president.
It surprised me because she seems so shy, but by pushing Donald to run, she would only bring more attention to herself.
So Melania is doing this for something other than her own comfort.
Print magazines prepare content at least 3-6 months in advance. So, this photo shoot was done in October or earlier.
