12. Not the Brightest Crayon in the Box
Although it would be nice to think of our new First Lady as intelligent, sadly that is not the case. And be that as it may, Melania herself probably does not even know it, so it could be argued that it is not an actual “secret”. But those who grew up with her in Slovenia know the truth about her smarts (or lack thereof).
One of her old friends from school, who asked not to be named, said this: “People say she’s smart, she’s well-educated like Jackie Kennedy, but… She’s smart for the things she’s interested in, like jewelry.
She’s not stupid, she’s not a bimbo, but she’s not especially clever.” Well, I am sure glad our next president is married to a woman who is “not stupid” and “not a bimbo”. Sighing with relief that we dodged those bullets. But from how she acts (and how her husband acts), you would think Melania Trump is of high intelligence. I guess the fancy clothes, serious face, and new title skewer our perception a bit on that one, or maybe we just have a need to believe there are not two complete morons residing in the White House.
