Former aide portrays First Lady Melania Trump as powerless before her ‘dictatorial’ husband

By TATIANA PROPHET

Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was an aide to Melania Trump and has leaked tapes of their phone calls to CNN. In this recording from July 2018, Melania discusses the zero tolerance policy at the border, and the contrast of that with her being "required" to design the Christmas decorations at the White House.She sounds genuinely upset — expressing concern for the situation at the border. As commentary, Wolkoff tells Anderson Cooper that Melania fell in line on zero tolerance due to being part of a dictatorship. This is so deceptive. Zero tolerance, as most people remember, resulted in the separation of parents from their children after crossing the border illegally and then asking for asylum if they were caught. (If they went to a port of entry, they would not be charged with a crime).
