Melania 'secretly' supports Kamala Harris as she 'hates Trump', claims former aide

Melania's secret support for Harris?

The former White House Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci made a startling claim during an interview, where he suggested that Melania Trump, Donald Trump's wife, is secretly supporting Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris. In a recent interview on the MediasTouch podcast, Scaramucci asserted that Melania is more enthusiastic about Harris's potential victory than he is, based on his belief that she "hates Donald Trump."

Melania Trump's Absence from Campaign Rallies

Scaramucci's comments come at a time when Melania Trump has been notably absent from her husband's political campaign rallies, appearing only at a few fundraising events and the rally where Trump faced an assassination attempt. In his discussion with host Ben Meiselas, Scaramucci said, "Maybe Melania Trump. That could be the only person I think of. Because she hates (Trump)."

He further stated, "My wife hates Trump as much as Melania does," adding humorously that even Meiselas is "nicer to Trump than Melania is."

Anthony Scaramucci's Brief White House Tenure

Scaramucci, who served as White House Communications Director for just eleven days in 2017 before being fired by Trump, has a history of contentious relations with the former president. His brief tenure led to the resignation of White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer and was marked by a major public relations fiasco. Scaramucci's swift dismissal by Trump, followed by questioning of his credibility by Chief of Staff John Kelly, was a notable episode in his short-lived White House role.

Trump Dismisses Scaramucci's Claims

In response to Scaramucci's claims, Donald Trump dismissed the allegations, characterising his former aide as a "bitter man" with a personal grudge. Trump’s response reflects his broader tendency to reject criticism from former allies.

Melania Trump's Focus on Family and Personal Projects

Meanwhile, Melania Trump has been keeping a low profile, focusing on her family and personal interests. She has been largely absent from her husband's campaign events, reportedly prioritising her son Barron’s college education and her preference for life in New York. On October 1, she is set to release her memoir, Melania, which is described by her office as "a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has forged her own path, overcome challenges, and defined personal excellence."

This revelation adds another layer to the complex dynamics within the Trump family and their political engagements.
