Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was formerly employed by Melania Trump, claimed that the marriage between former U.S. President Donald Trump and the ex-FLOTUS may be a hoax.
A throwback video from his time on “The Apprentice” was posted by Stephanie on X, which was formerly known as Twitter. She used the opportunity to criticize the pair by showing them in the clip.
"Many may think 'DADDY’S HOME' is a Father’s Day video. Nope! Millions of Americans watched the Apprentice. Donald was a household name. He needed a woman who looked & played the part & let him be the star. Marrying Melania & making her a Vogue Cover model —legitimized them both," Stephanie penned in the caption.
"What catapulted Donald J. Trump 'businessman' and his 'supermodel' wife to the White House was a MIRAGE created by Survivor producer Mark Burnett and NBC boss Jeff Zucker," Melania’s former aide said.
Stephanie added that @RaminSetoodeh, editor in chief of Variety and bestselling author of the New York Times, narrates the definitive unreported narrative of Trump's years as a reality TV star and how Trump himself concedes that he might not have been president if it weren't for "The Apprentice."
People shared their opinions on how the reality show helped launch Trump, who is 78 years old, into the spotlight. "I have been saying this over and over. Without The Apprentice, most of the country wouldn’t have even known who he was,” one netizen commented, as per OK Magazine. "She never was a supermodel..." another user stated.
"I will never forgive that because of the damage inflicted upon our country, our democracy, our people, and the world,” a third X user shared.
Without a doubt, this is not the first time that Stephanie has expressed her opinions regarding the couple's marriage.
“She has stood by him and will continue to stand by him because she is just like him. It’s a completely transactional marriage for both. She knew exactly who she married and warned him that all his secrets would come out if he ran for president,” Stephanie previously claimed.
“She knew exactly what she was getting into. She accepted it and she continues to accept it. People would be surprised by just how much they agree about things,” she continued.
The couple is rarely seen together, and when Donald was found guilty of manipulating business paperwork in reference to his hush money trial, he was asked how his family, and Melania in particular, were doing.
"It has to affect my family. I think that's really unfair. I have a very good family, I have good kids, I have a wonderful wife. It's not easy for her to read this kind of stuff that is fake, that is fake stuff. That's the way it is. It certainly is not a good thing. It affects me more than it would if it was just about me. I wish it was just about me," Donald told Dr. Phil McGraw, which aired on Thursday, June 6.
