An employee who compiled a video montage of Melania Trumpwith intimate moments with the former president Donald Trump, reportedly faces dismissal for being “off-brand.” The video was posted on Trump’s social media platform, Truth Social.
What happened: Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, a former aide to Melania Trump, suggested the employee could be fired. “Whoever compiled this footage to create this montage of Melania definitely didn’t know the backstories of some of these cases and how ‘off brand’ this was. Soon you might hear, ‘You’re fired!’” she said, reporting OK! Magazine.
Wolkoff said, “When you play with fire, you get burned, even if you weren’t the one holding the match,” according to the report.
The video montage was released during Melania’s notable absence from public life, especially when compared to her active role during the 2016 election period. This coincides with Donald Trump’s ongoing legal issues and campaign activities.

Wolkoff, Melania’s former confidante and first hire after Trump’s election victory, criticized the video as a strategic move by the Trump camp. The controversy intensified when Donald Trump shared the sentimental clip following negative comments about Melania’s behavior at a recent fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida.
Despite Donald’s adoring words in the video, social media users focused on Melania’s facial expressions during the event, suggesting potential tensions within the couple.
Because matter: Melania Trump’s focus has reportedly shifted to her family, rather than her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign.
He has also repeatedly rejected Donald Trump’s requests to join him on the campaign trail. However, after an extended absence from the political arena, Melania Trump is returning, scheduled to host a fundraiser for the Log Cabin Republicans at Mar-a-Lago.
His low-profile existence at Mar-a-Lago has piqued public curiosity, with a former assistant shedding light on his deliberate withdrawal from the spotlight.
