Mitt Romney’s newly launched book, ‘Romney: A Reckoning,’ has set the internet abuzz. In it, the former Republican candidate revealed several controversial things about former President Donald Trump and his relationship dynamics with his wife, Melania Trump. The book sheds light on some lesser-known aspects of the Trumps’ relationship.
Trump’s Surprising Comment
In an unexpected twist from the book, Mitt Romney shared that Donald Trump had made a candid comment to his son, Josh Romney. Trump hinted at possibly ending his relationship with Melania. According to Romney, this eye-opening conversation took place about two decades ago during the excitement of an NFL game.
The Beginnings of Donald and Melania
Let’s take things back. The tale of Donald and Melania Trump’s romance spans over a quarter of a century. They ignited the spark in 1998 during a media frenzy. During this time, Donald was separating from his then-wife, Marla Maples, making their budding relationship the talk of the town.
The Year Everything Changed
In 1999, Donald’s divorce with Marla Maples was officially finalized. This cleared the path for him to openly be in a relationship with Melania. Known then by her maiden name, Melania Knauss, she began accompanying Donald to numerous high-profile events. Donald and Melania’s bond grew stronger and more public.
The Famous Couple
The pair quickly rose to prominence, making headlines with their unabashed interviews. One of these included Melania’s telephone interview on The Howard Stern Radio Show in 1999. Their charisma and presence became undeniable in the public eye, with many people invested in their budding romance.
Melania’s Dreams
From the outset, Melania had a clear vision of her role. Apparently, if Donald ever became President, she wished to embrace a traditional role. She allegedly wanted a role similar to iconic First Ladies of the past. Melania often cited Betty Ford and Jackie Kennedy as her guiding inspirations.
The Proposal
During his initial rocky political dreams, Trump found peace in his personal life. By 2004, Trump proposed to Melania. The following year, the pair married in Palm Beach, Florida. Following this, Mar-a-Lago transformed into a Hollywood-style gala. Many of Trump’s famous friends attended the wedding, including Bill and Hillary Clinton, Diddy, and Shaquille O’Neal.
Arrival of Barron
The joy of marriage soon doubled when, in 2006, the Trumps announced the birth of Barron. This new chapter added another layer to their relationship, with Trump often mentioning, “Barron’s a fantastic young boy.” Melania, equally pleased, took on the role of a mother with grace, frequently commenting on the happiness Barron brought to their lives.
The Picture-perfect Years
The beginning years of their marital journey painted a storybook image. They were the perfect power couple in New York with their budding family and numerous public outings. However, as Romney claims in his recent book, ‘Romney: A Reckoning’, things might not have always been picture-perfect.
Romney’s Rumors
Mitt Romney’s recent book, ‘Romney: A Reckoning,’ gave readers a surprising glimpse into Trump’s personal life. In one section, he narrates an incident from the early 2000s at a New England Patriots game. Along with his son Josh, he happened to share space with the Trumps, and this moment has been turning heads.
A Remarkable Game-night Conversation
That eventful night, Trump, seemingly unguarded, approached Josh Romney for a casual chat. During their conversation, as Mitt details, Trump candidly spoke about Melania, dropping hints about an uncertain future in their relationship. “Have you seen my girlfriend?” Trump purportedly asked Josh.
Imprints on Romney’s Memory
Trump allegedly spoke about a “leggy brunette,” implying that Melania’s time might be limited. Romney claims this caught him off guard. “When I drop her, the phone is gonna ring off the hook. Every guy in New York wants to go out with her,” Trump allegedly shared, leaving the older Romney bewildered.
Not Just One Revelation
The former Presidential candidate unveils multiple behind-the-scenes instances from Trump’s life. Notably, Romney chronicles an intriguing proposition by none other than Oprah Winfrey. She reportedly floated the idea of joining forces with Romney for a Presidential face-off against Trump in 2020. Apparently, she felt the need to “save the country” from Trump’s reign.
The Debate Fantasy
Romeny also openly shares his dreams of confronting Trump on a debate stage. However, he argued it wasn’t just about political disagreements. Romney confessed that he wanted to counteract what he saw as Trump’s outlandish claims. He fantasized about calling Trump out, claiming he wanted to tell him, “That’s stupid. Why are you saying that?”
A Burning Question
He also discussed Trump’s puzzling bleach remark during the pandemic. “Every time Donald Trump makes a strong statement [during our theoretical debate], I’d say, ‘Remind me again about the Clorox.” He claimed that “every now and then, I would cough and go, ‘Clorox.'” Romney was astonished at how such a statement could fade into the background.
A Bitter Taste
These allegations sparked plenty of discussion on the internet. One user didn’t hold back their disappointment regarding Trump’s bleach comment, stating, “The guy should have drank the bleach like he wanted to. Very disappointed this didn’t happen.” Another person observed Romney’s reflections in the book, commenting, “The things Mitt says sound like they’re 100 percent on brand for Trump.”
A Reluctant Respect for Romney
One individual candidly mentioned their political stance: “Romney is not someone I’d ever vote for, but he also doesn’t seem like a filthy liar.” Others agreed, saying, “You know it’s bad when Romney and Cheney are ousted by their own party for not being Republican enough. I wouldn’t vote for either of them, but at least they call out Maga for what it is.”
Melania’s Choice
Some believe that Melania was well aware of what she was getting into, as one person said, “Don’t fret everyone, Melania knew the game when she signed up for it.” Another user speculated, “Oh heck, that’s not the worst thing that flaming idiot said about her inside ten minutes, is it?… WHY is she still with him, and PLEASE no one say ‘money’ because we all know he doesn’t have much.”
Comparing Characters
Finally, when comparing Romney and Trump, one user said, “I know which of the two is more honest and trustworthy, unfortunately, it’s the one that insulted 47% of Americans. But he’s still better than Trump.” Another user shared the same idea, saying, “Romney went from the worst to best Republican in record time.”
