Daily US Times: A new book by a Washington Post reporter exposed part of the reason first lady Melania Trump delayed her move from New York City to the White House in 2017 was because she was renegotiating her prenuptial agreement with President Donald Trump.

Author Mary Jordan wrote the book based on more than a hundred interviews, according to the Post. The author cites sources close to Trump as saying her intent in doing so was to “amend her financial agreement with Trump — what Melania Trump referred to as ‘taking care of Barron.’ “

The book’s name “The Art of Her Deal: The Untold Story of Melania Trump”.

The book said the first lady needed time to cool off after the President’s alleged sexual indiscretions, according to the Post. Jordan writes citing three people close to President Trump that this new prenuptial agreement ensured that Barron would not be shut out of the family business.

He writes: “She wanted proof in writing that when it came to financial opportunities and inheritance, Barron would be treated as more of an equal to Trump’s oldest three children.”

Donald Trump has many times shared publicly his support of the idea of protecting one’s wealth with a prenuptial agreement. In 1997, he told CNN’s Larry King: “I’m a big pre-nup believer, even though they’re nasty terrible documents. I’m a big believer in that stuff.”

A spokeswoman for the first lady Melania Trump dismissed the book and it’s reporting.

Melania Trump’s chief of staff Stephanie Grisham said: “Yet another book about Mrs. Trump with false information and sources. This book belongs in the fiction genre.”

After Donald Trump moved to the White House, Melania did not immediately shifted. Rather she took time to move Washington, DC. Her primary concern was to keep life as normal as possible for her son, Barron, then 10 years old. Her desire to allow Barron to finish his school year in New York City superseded other concerns about optics, political questions, or insinuations about her marriage.

Melania Trump does not have a cadre of seasoned political advisers telling her what to do, as CNN has reported, nor would she likely listen if so. She makes decisions based upon her own ideology.

Jordan reports, she also found ground to renegotiate, because Trump is aware, as are his adult children, she is a calming influence on the President.
