Will it be different this time?

Melania Trump, the First Lady against her will

From communist Yugoslavia, she "trumped" her way from the model catwalk to the White House, but even during her first term in office, Melania Trump (54) was less than enthusiastic about her role as First Lady. Will the Slovenian-born woman with Styrian roots do things differently this time?

No, not Donald, but her own mother. No person has had more influence on Melania's life than her Styrian mother. She had an "indestructible bond" with Amalija Knavs, who passed away in January. At the funeral service, her daughter called her "my ray of hope in my darkest days" and "my greatest supporter".
