VIDEO: Melania Trump’s prime-time debut tarnished by plagiarism

Glamorous life 

Born Melanija Knavs in Slovenia then part of Yugoslavia to a fashion-industry mother and a car-salesman father, she studied design and architecture before leaving for Milan and Paris to launch her modelling career.

That brought her to the United States in 1996, where two years later she met Donald Trump. She later became his third wife.

On Monday night, she said becoming a US citizen, in 2006, was “the greatest privilege on planet earth.”

Her American experience has certainly been far removed from that of the average immigrant.

Her Twitter account inactive since Trump declared his candidacy reflects the privileged lifestyle of a jet-setter traveling between a lavish New York apartment and residences in Florida.

She has tweeted photographs from high-society gatherings and major sporting events, as well as recollections of her red-carpet saunters and charity functions. In each image, Melania appears impeccably dressed.

When Donald and Melania married in January 2005 in Florida, the cost of her Dior dress was estimated at $200,000.

Among the invited celebrities was Hillary Clinton, this year’s likely Democratic presidential nominee.

Initially, Melania did not seem to be entirely on board with the idea of her husband launching a White House bid.

Trump once admitted Melania would have been content as the wife of a billionaire businessman and reality TV star.

“She said, ‘We have such a great life. Why do you want to do this?’” Trump told The Washington Post.
