Mrs. Trump got a better prenup in 2017

From the post I just put up in the Clusterfuck thread:

@Senegoid

Washington Post announces a soon-to-be-released book:

Melania Trump was in no rush to move into the White House. That’s when she renegotiated her prenup, a new book says., WaPo, June 12, 2020.

Amazon page: The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump. by Mary Jordan, coming out June 16, 2020.

The WaPo article seems to suggest that Melania is an ambitious and hard-driving person in her own right, and much more a supporter of Donald than we commonly think. She has enough influence and leverage that she could, and did, force Donald to renegotiate her pre-nup with him, largely to assure a better inheritance for Barron and his place in the Trump Organization.

@Excerpt from the description at the Amazon page:

Based on interviews with more than one hundred people in five countries, The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump draws an unprecedented portrait of the first lady. While her public image is of an aloof woman floating above the political gamesmanship of Washington, behind the scenes Melania Trump is not only part of President Trump’s inner circle, but for some key decisions she has been his single most influential adviser.

The picture of Melania Trump that emerges in The Art of Her Deal is one of a woman who is savvy, steely, ambitious, deliberate, and who plays the long game. And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase “the art of the deal,” it is she who has consistently used her leverage to get exactly what she wants. This is the story of the art of her deal.
