À propos de cet audio
Number-One New York Times Best Seller
What Melania wants, Melania gets.
The former director of special events at Vogue and producer of nine legendary Met Galas, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff met Melania Knauss in 2003 and had a front row seat to the transformation of Donald Trump’s then-girlfriend from a rough-cut gem to a precious diamond. As their friendship deepened over lunches at Manhattan hot spots, black-tie parties, and giggle sessions in the penthouse at Trump Tower, Wolkoff watched the newest Mrs. Trump raise her son, Barron, and manage her highly scrutinized marriage.
After Trump won the 2016 election, Wolkoff was recruited to help produce the 58th Presidential Inauguration and to become the First Lady’s trusted advisor. Melania put Wolkoff in charge of hiring her staff, organizing her events, helping her write speeches, and creating her debut initiatives. Then it all fell apart when she was made the scapegoat for inauguration finance irregularities. Melania could have defended her innocent friend and confidant, but she stood by her man, knowing full well who was really to blame. The betrayal nearly destroyed Wolkoff.
In this candid and emotional memoir, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff takes you into Trump Tower and the White House to tell the funny, thrilling, and heartbreaking story of her intimate friendship with one of the most famous women in the world, a woman few people truly understand.
How did Melania react to the Access Hollywood tape and her husband’s affair with Stormy Daniels? Does she get along well with Ivanka? Why did she wear that jacket with "I really don’t care, do u?" printed on the back? Is Melania happy being First Lady? And what really happened with the inauguration’s funding of $107 million? Wolkoff has some ideas....

Drawn out tale of woe
For the most part it was a boring read. The book could have been condensed to a four paragraph article, and I would of still come away with the same insight.
Another sucker that should of known better.

Excellent story MUST READ
Thank you for sharing your story. At first I bought it because I do dislike the tRump family. I could not stop listening because I could hear in your voice how shaken this all left you. I don’t doubt your honesty or integrity for a moment. Your only problem is that if you are not a skunk it’s so hard to think like a skunk and therefore protect yourself.
You were conned by the best. Stay strong and know you did what you though was right and be safe and strong.

Once a Trump always a Trump
Not surprising but very telling. Melania is all in with the President and it seems have learned some of his dirty tricks too!

Gutwrenching!
I recently have finished reading, Stelter's - Hoax, Mary Trump's 'Too Much and Never Enough', Sciutto's 'the Madman Theory 'and John Bolton's the Room Where it Happened. I enjoyed most of them in varying degrees and they all informed me in some way.
However, this book felt like a gut punch and moved me in such a powerfully visceral way. This book is not just a list of facts and stories, but it is one woman's truth. She had me hooked from the beginning. The fact that she narrated the book herself gave it a depth and open vulnerability that added another dimension to this Trump debacle. And it lays wide open the Melania enigma. (and Ivanka too in many ways). I am left with no doubt that this is what and who she is. Up until the end Wolkof makes excuses for and shows a depth of caring and friendship for Melania that is so undeserving, that it breaks your heart.
I have never particularly liked Melania - even though I've felt that I should in some way feel a type of sisterhood for her since we both come from the former Yugoslavia. Wolkoff, made short change of that and proceeded to confirm my intuitive sense that Melania deserves no pity for the situation and marriage she has chosen. If anything the Trumps are a good match for each other. The whole fam damily totally creeps me out and the book just proves that the truth can be a helluva a lot scarier than fiction.

Now I get who Melania is. Yuck! Truly a trump.
Amazing how many Americans are so enamored of celebrities, that they are willing to be blind to the realities of these amoral people, at their own expense. Something about idolatry in America.

You Play with Fire, You Will Get Burned
Overall, this is one dilettante bemoaning another. It's difficult to feel sorry for Ms. Wolkoff as she knew the Trump family reputation long before signing up to fly on Melania's coat tails. She admits her real friends and family warned her to stay away, and instead, she chose to turn a blind eye to the cold and callous ways in which Melania and Donald Trump behave.
Stephanie continues to say they were friends but one wonders what her definition of friend is. More like it's the two-faced kind perennially found in the New York elitist crowd - all show, zero substance, especially when the chips are down.
Melania and Me at least offers some details as to what went on when Trump & Company stole that 80 million from the PIC fund. To Stephanie's credit, at least Vogue trained her well to keep precise accounting records. That, at least, will save her butt in any SDNY or DC investigations into Trump graft.
Read it for the minutia if you enjoy being a fly on the Trump White House walls, but accept that you will be left with a bitter taste in your mouth from Ms. Wolkoff's wailing woes. Sympathy is not readily deserved in this case, in my opinion.
You play High Stakes with thieves, be ready to lose big. As is always the case, there will never be honour among the Trumps.

Raw
I believe every word. SWW's experience with the Trumps is exactly how we all imagine: cruel.

Powerful second half
I wasn’t interested in most of the first half because of it’s discussion of fashion and cultural activity but became emotionally involved toward the end.

Wishing you the best
Thank you for sharing this difficult journey. I hope for 2 things
First and foremost that 45 doesn’t get back in and second that sales of this book compensate financially for your losses. Otherwise I think you have a strong family and will survive it all stronger and healthier.
