According to the CBS, Melania Trump’s official website has been disabled because the information regarding her college degree was falsified. Also on Wednesday, Melanie Trump tweeted:
It was believed that Melania Trump earned her degree in Slovenia before having a successful modeling career and “becoming a skincare entrepreneur and philanthropist”, says CBS news. The direct quote from her website read:
“After obtaining a degree in design and architecture at University in Slovenia, Melania was jetting between photo shoots in Paris and Milan, finally settling in New York in 1996."
After CBS did some fact checking however, it appears the Melania never finished her college degree.
Ms. Trump’s April 2016 GQ article sides with the information fact-checked by CBS News. According to GQ, Ms.Trump enrolled in college, but “decamped to Milan after her first year of college, effectively dropping out.”
But as a side note, the infamous GQ Article written about Melania Trump is also a source of controversy.
Melania Trump sympathizers say that the GQ writer portrayed Melania in an overall negative manner, giving her a reputation of being bland and somewhat secretive. Sources also imply that because Melania is shy, she is very hard person to get an interview with.
When talking about Melania’s overall character, the GQ article reads:
"In this respect, [Melania] is just like her husband. She’s alluringly opaque. She makes meaningful eye contact and emphatically repeats affirmative, folksy banalities -- she 'has a thick skin,' she takes things 'day by day,' she follows the news 'from A to Z' -- until the interviewer either is transported into a supra-verbal understanding or decides it’s pointless to press for specifics. But unlike her husband, Melania is reserved, polite, and steady, say those close to her. 'There is a peace in her,' one old friend from Slovenia tells me. She is a homebody. She’s rich, but not a socialite; she prefers family to the It set and retires early after events."
So after all the press she received, being described as someone who has many secrets, or someone who stays out of politics and doesn’t like sitting down with the press, it is not hard to believe that somewhere, a long the line, her background has been somewhat falsified.
I’m not sure why her website would say that she graduated with a degree when she did not. I don’t think that finishing school is an immediate priority when you have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to travel the world and have a successful career as a model.
Was Melania lying, or was it all a misunderstanding? In most interviews, Melania simply tells reporters that she “studied” architecture and design in college. She never said she graduated. So it any affect, she did not say anything that was not true.
I would like to see what more we can learn from the mysterious wife of Donald Trump. Although I am not a fan of her husband in any way, I have to say that Melania is an intriguing public figure. We’ll see what else is revealed as the presidential race continues.
