Melania Trump reveals how she satisfies Donald's 'demands'

Melania Trump lifted the lid on the expectations husband Donald had for her as a wife in a resurfaced clip. 

The incumbent First Lady has been at the center of headlines ever since her spouse entered the 2024 Presidential Race and pulled off an astonishing political win when he regained his seat in the White House. 

In a 2005 video, mom-of-one Melania, now 54, revealed during a chat on Larry King Live with Donald that she had to adhere to 'old-fashioned' values before saying 'I do.'

When asked if her husband had any 'demands' or if he was 'controlling,' she insisted her spouse wasn't commandeering, but he did have some rules. 

She explained: 'I knew what I was getting into, Donald has his demands, but I knew this before I said "I do."

'He values loyalty, respect, and he has high expectations. There were things he expected from me, and I respected that.

'Donald wanted a wife who would stand by his side but knew her place.'

The former model added that to marry Donald you needed to be 'strong and confident.' 

Social media users flooded the comments section underneath the clip on CNN's YouTube channel and expressed their shock at her admission. 

One person said: 'Awesome interview. Who else watched this November of 2024?'

Someone else wrote: 'Who else is watching this in 2024?'

Another user commented: 'They were always like this, even today. But the people wanted to judge and tear Melania down as soon as she became First Lady. She remained classy throughout all of it. I'm not even Republican but I respect people who are respectable.'

'This interview needs to be all over the place right now, on Nov.2nd, 2024. People need to see who these two people really are, and how genuine, kind, intelligent, formidable, and principled they are,' a fourth person wrote. 

But this isn't the first clip from Melania's past that has been unearthed.

Another video from Inside Edition has also reemerged this week, detailing her strict diet. 

A 2019 report by the publication uncovered what her daily menu looks like, including seven pieces of fruit.

The outlet reported that the Melania drank a smoothie for breakfast every morning, which she made by blending together spinach, carrots, blueberries, apple juice and fat-free yogurt. 

In addition to her nutrition-packed smoothie, the former model tried to eat seven pieces of 'fresh' fruit everyday, and her favorites were said to be apples and peaches.

But Melania doesn't always stick to the perfect diet - of course, she indulges at times, just like the rest of us.

Inside Edition reported that she also ate dark chocolate and the 'occasional' ice cream, but paid attention to 'portion sizes.'

And, when she's back in New York, her favorite place to eat is at the Trump International Hotel on the Upper West Side, of course, - specifically the upscale Jean-Georges restaurant there.

Despite being married to the 47th President, Melania has previously admitted that she often wished she could take a step back from the White House and her duties.

Earlier this month it was reported by the New York Post that she would be splitting her time between Florida, Washington D.C. and New York, where her 18-year-old son, Barron, is attending college.

This report drew criticism from people who accused her of 'smothering' her and Donald's son.

Melania will be the First Lady on 'her terms' and will be splitting her time between the three places, a Mar-a-Lago source told the New York Post.

Both Barron and his mom have made brief appearance on Trump's campaign trail.

The 18-year-old student previously appeared at a campaign rally on July 9 in Miami, where he confidently mirrored his father's fist pumping pose and lapped up a standing ovation.

He didn't attend the subsequent Republican National Convention, but he got a shout-out from his father at the July 18 event as he told delighted convention-goers, 'We love our Barron.'
