Brigitte Macron, the wife of French President Emanuel Macron, shared her thoughts on the United States' former first lady in a wide-reaching interview with French publication Paris Match, shedding new light on the relationship between Donald and Melania Trump.
The interview comes as many observers continue raising questions about their relationship. Melania Trump has been largely absent from Donald Trump's 2024 presidential campaign, and has remained quiet about his ongoing legal woes.
She has declined to make public appearances or public comment about his most recent New York civil fraud trial, though she did attend a Halloween party at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, last month.
Brigitte Macron shared her observations about the Trumps' marriage in the Paris Match interview, describing Melania Trump as "sweet" and "strong."
"Melania Trump is very sweet. But she has the upper hand over her husband. When, at a dinner party, she taps on her watch, her husband understands that it is time to get up and leave. And he complies. She has a strong personality," she said.
