In a new interview this week, First LadyMelania Trumpcriticized comedians, journalists, performers and authors, claiming — without examples — that they take advantage of the Trump name.
When Fox News’Sean Hannityasked her on Wednesday about the hardest part of her role, Mrs. Trump, 48, pointed her finger at “opportunists.”
“I would say the opportunists who are using my name or my family name to advance themselves, from comedians to journalists to performers, book writers,” she replied.
“Does it hurt?” Hannity asked aboard the U.S.S George H.W. Bush.
“It doesn’t hurt,” Mrs. Trump, who spent the day meeting military families, said. “The problem is they’re writing the history and it’s not correct.”
Hannity also brought up the “speculation about you and your family and your marriage.” Multiple women have alleged that her husband, PresidentDonald Trump, has had affairs during his marriage, which he has repeatedly denied.
