The team over at DuJour Magazine sat down for an interview with Melania Trump recently, and the long suffering wife of the Donald was in a candid mood.

Of course the piece was titled ‘Lady and the Trump’, why wouldn’t it be?

There are some real pearlers in this one – let’s meet Melania then:

Melania Trump, 46, is dressed in a black Chanel coat, slim black pants by The Row and Louboutin heels. A 25-carat diamond ring, an anniversary present from her husband, weighs down one hand. Her much-discussed squint—like a fox caught in headlights—is less prominent in person; otherwise she looks just as you’d imagine. Camera-ready, not a hair out of place. Fiji and Pellegrino water on the coffee table. “Come sit,” she purrs…

We’ve been talking for less than 10 minutes when Melania broaches the idea that she’s been misrepresented in the media—her silences interpreted as a lack of intelligence, her marriage as some kind of Faustian bargain. If Donald is a winner, as he often repeats in speeches, she—finally—would like you to know that she is, too. “I had a successful modeling career,” she says, and it should be noted, her QVC line of sparkly jewelry sold out in 45 minutes.

In what ways have you been misrepresented, I ask. “That I’m shy,” she says. “I’m not shy. I know what I want, and I’m selective”…

Earlier that day, MSNBC’s Chris Matthews was caught ogling her walk, accidentally muttering on-air: “My God, is that good. I could watch that runway show.”

“Unbelievable,” she says of Matthews’ comment. “That’s what I’m saying! I’m not only a beauty, I’m smart. I have brains. I’m intelligent.” She exhales, adding: “I would just say, Men will be men.”

She uses that same phrase—“Men will be men”—when asked about Donald’s old appearances on Howard Stern’s show.

If you’re not familiar with that show here’s a brief overview – when Stern asked Donald whether he would stay with Melania if she had a car accident, Trump replied by asking how her breasts looked after the hypothetical accident

Future presidential candidate material.

More from Melania:

“To be married to my husband, to someone successful as he is, he needs somebody who will tell him the truth. Somebody smart, you know. It’s not just like I’m there and I’m just doing things for him. People say I’m not on the campaign, [but] I’m very involved from home.” She may DVREmpire (which she calls “interesting, something for fun”), but nightly she’s glued to CNN or Fox News. “I like to know exactly what’s going on,” she says. “I give a lot of advice to my husband and tell him how it is and how I see it. I’m not backing off. I tell him the truth.”

Great, any chance you could have a word in his ear and tell him that whole wall with Mexico thing is never going to work? Then touch on the whole ‘ban all Muslims’ vibe – I mean we could go on but baby steps and all.
