Hillary Clinton’s memoirs: “I didn’t know what to make of the third Mrs. Trump, and Melania left me ‘conflicted,'” says Hillary Clinton in her memoirs
Melania’s unpleasant presence
Clinton recalled that Melania Trump seemed isolated when she arrived and with the other former first ladies. Laura Bush, who had been speaking with Melania, stepped back to greet the others. Clinton noted that Melania looked “very smiling but unsure,” like a shy child at a party waiting for the others to be nice. Clinton and the others approached Melania with friendly gestures. Jill Biden blew her an air kiss, Michelle Obama gave her a warm hug, and Bill Clinton tried to make small talk. Clinton herself shook Melania’s hand and greeted her.

Clinton’s considerations and conflicts

However, she questioned whether Melania supported her husband’s less positive traits. Clinton also referenced Melania’s controversial 2018 jacket, which bore the message, “I really don’t care. Do you?” Clinton noted that while she refrains from judging another woman’s appearance, the jacket seemed to fit Donald Trump’s style.
Thoughts on mourning clothes
Clinton reflected on the criticism Melania received for not wearing the traditional black attire to the funeral, opting instead for a gray coat. She defended Melania, pointing out that modern dress codes have changed, and noted that others at the memorial service, including President Biden and Jason Carter, did not face similar criticism for their attire. Clinton found it petty that Melania was criticized for this choice, and expressed some sympathy, despite the Trump family’s actions in recent years.Also read: Mickey 17: Release date, trailer, plot, cast and production of the sci-fi film starring Robert Pattinson
