First lady Melania Trump said Saturday that she doesn’t always agree with things her husband writes on Twitter, joking she has asked him before to put down his phone.
“I don’t always agree with what he tweets and I tell him that, I give him my honest opinion and honest advice,” Trump told reporters in Egypt during her tour of Africa, her first solo trip as first lady. “Sometimes he listens and sometimes he doesn’t.”
“I have my own voice and my opinions and it’s very important for me that I express what I feel,” she added.
When pressed if she was trying to “scare” President Trump into being more polite or sensitive, the first lady responded, “No, I tell him my opinions, what I believe, and in some of them maybe we don’t agree.”
“I’m not elected, he’s the president.”
When asked by reporters if she had ever requested that her husband to put his phone down, the first lady laughed and responded “yes.” – READ MORE
