Perhaps Melania’s biggest controversy this month has been her audio remarks secretly recorded by her former aide and friend, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, and posted in early October by Wolkoff

At one point, Melania talks about Donald and the criticism she received due to the President’s separation of migrant children at the border She told Wolkoff: « They say I’m an accomplice I’m the even like him, i support him i don’t say enough i don’t do enough where i am « 

Melania added, « I work my ass on Christmas stuff, you know, who cares about Christmas stuff and decorations? But I have to, right? »

Wolkoff confirmed that she did, and Melania then said, « Okay, then I do and I say I’m working on Christmas and cooking for Christmas and they said, ‘Oh, what about the children they were separated from? ‘ Give me a fucking break Where did they say something when Obama did that I can’t go I was trying to reunite the kid with the mom I had no luck – must follow the process and the law « (CNN, by the way, noted that it was Obama’s policy to separate children only » when authorities had concerns for their welfare « or could not confirm a legal guardian)
