The First Lady's opinions matter

There have been some interesting details in the newly released book about the function of Trump administration. The Trump White House: Changing the Rules of the Game by the author Ronald Kessler reveals that there's more to the First Lady's role in the White House tham meets the eye.

In the light of several scandals surrounding the president lately, Melania became tougher with Donald. The book indicates that Mrs. Trump often sits in during the meetings with cabinet officers, and she isn't afraid to disagree with her husband.

Apparently, the First Lady's contributions to the mentioned meetings are highly valued, and people pay careful attention to what she has to say. "I don't think people fully recognize how influential she is and what a grounded political sense she has on her own. She always seems to have the pulse on the right move and the right person at the right time," the former White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, once said in an interview.

Mr. president should be on the lookout and take some lessons from his wife. If she was able to improve her public image within a year, maybe she has some tips to share with her dear spouse.
