Trump’s former White House Communication Director, Anthony Scaramucci, has made shocking claims that Melania Trump is supporting Democratic candidate Kamala Harris over her husband in the November presidential elections.
According to Scaramucci, Melania hates Trump to the core, and she does not want to see her husband for four more years in the nation’s top office.
Speaking to the MeidasTouch podcast, Scaramucci claimed to be the biggest supporter of Harris, adding that the only person he can think of who supports the vice president more than him is Melania. The former Trump aide also asserted that Melania is fed up with “all of this nonsense,” which has urged her to shift her loyalties.
He went on to say that only one person, i.e., former Joint Chiefs of Staff General Mark Miley, hates Trump more than Melania.
Scaramucci’s claims come as Melania remains absent from Trump’s campaign trail, raising speculations that she was not interested in her husband’s reelection bid. In both the 2016 and 2020 elections, she was one of the top campaigners of the Trump team and attended large numbers of rallies across the country.
Melania was last seen endorsing her husband during the Republican National Convention in July. She also participated in the family photo and kissed her husband on the cheek, even though she broke a long-standing tradition of the candidate’s spouses giving a speech to boost their partner’s candidacy.
During Trump’s 2016 White House run, Melania introduced her husband but ended up stirring controversy. Critics accused her of plagiarizing the speech of former First Lady Michelle Obama, who used the same words to introduce her husband, Barack Obama, in his 2008 campaign. Melania’s speechwriter later took the blame.
Even before the 2024 RNC, Melania appeared to take a long pause from politics. She was notably absent during some of Trump’s most significant moments, such as his conviction in the New York trial.
Meanwhile, some insiders believe that Melania sees herself as a different kind of first lady. Mary Jordan, the author of Melania’s biography The Art of Her Deal, said that the former first lady wants to remain independent and never engages in things that other people like her do.
Scaramucci’s stint in the White House lasted for only ten days as Trump fired him when his hiring created divisions among the White House staffers.
Since then, he has become an outspoken critic of Donald Trump and supported Joe Biden in the 2020 presidential race. He recently suggested that Trump is getting darker every day, and has suggested he is on track to lose the election.
