A POWERFUL VOICE IN THE WEST WING
Melania Trump has more power than she actually appears in the West Wing of the White House, where the offices of the Executive branch are located. For example, Bennett points out that the first lady was directly responsible for the dismissal of Mira Ricardel, deputy national security adviser to Trump, after both women had their quarrels on the trip of the president's wife to Africa in 2018.
In November last year, the White House announced the departure of the counselor after the first lady's office openly asked for her dismissal.

CALM TENSA BETWEEN MELANIA AND IVANKA
The relationship between Donald Trump's wife and Ivanka Trump is not as friendly as before the family's landing at the White House, Free sources , Melania: The Unauthorized Biography, sources from the first lady's environment.
Despite the apparent cordial relationship that both women share, the unprecedented and unofficial figure of "first daughter" Ivanka occupies bothers Melania, Bennett argues, as she sometimes feels relegated to the background and has caused some drama within the family.
That tension was exemplified when Melania wore a raincoat from Zara with the controversial message "I really don't care, do u?" (I really don't care, (and) you?) during a visit to the Mexican border in June 2018 to immigrant juvenile detention centers.
In Bennett's opinion, it was a message addressed to Ivanka: "I believe, and I still do, that the raincoat was a dart (directed) to Ivanka and his almost constant attempts to link to the Administration's positive points," writes the journalist.
THE DOG THAT WAS NOT
A curious and seemingly irrelevant anecdote that the author reveals, and that demonstrates the influence that the first lady has on the US president, is the fact that, at Melania's request, the Trump were about to buy a dog for the presidential residence despite the well-known dislike of the head of state towards pets and his phobia of germs in general.
Bennett says that this desire was so close to materialize that Melania was even finding out details about breeds and the care a dog requires. Finally, the family decided that the man's best friend had no place in their hearts, or at least in their home.
