In this âscrupulously reported biographyâ (NPR) Jordan documents how Melania Trump had discussing being First Lady nearly two decades before she landed in the White House and how she encouraged her husband to enter the race for president.
Based on interviews with more than one hundred people in five countries, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump is âan extraordinary workâ (Salon) that draws an unprecedented portrait of the first lady. We see that behind the scenes Melania Trump is not only part of President Trumpâs inner circle, but for some key decisions she has been his single most influential advisor.
Jordan interviewed key people in Melania's close circle who speak publicly for the first time and uncovered never-before-seen photos and tapes of the tall woman with âtiger eyes,â as a judge in an early modeling contest said. The Art of Her Deal shows Melaniaâs ascent from a modest life, tracing her journey from childhood under a communist dictator to her complicated relationship with Donald Trump. The picture that emerges is âthat the first lady is not a pawn but a player... and a woman able to get what she wants from one of the most powerful and transparently vain men in the worldâ (NPR).
And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase âthe art of the deal,â this is the story of the art of her deal.
