Global news agency AFP quoted Dr. Katherine Jellison, Professor and Chair of History at Ohio University, in a story headlined “Melania Trump, America’s enigmatic first lady.”
New York (AFP) – Groomed to perfection yet rarely heard in public, Melania Trump is an enigma — a first lady whose opinions, marriage and goals remain a mystery to millions of Americans….
“She is still an enigma after a year,” says Katherine Jellison, a professor of history at Ohio University who has researched US first ladies.
“I don’t think the American people feel that they know the real woman yet.”…
“People are still trying to figure out the relationship between the president and the first lady, and I think those kind of questions feed into the air of mystery,” said Jellison….
“To find a first lady as enigmatic as Melania Trump, we have to go back to the late ’40s and early ’50s,” said Jellison. In particular, she cites Bess Truman, wife of Harry and first lady from 1945 to 1953.
