Donald And Melania Trump Were Happy During Their Larry King Interview, With Donald Stating That They Hadn't Gotten Into An Argument In 5 Years
We turn back the clock to 2005 for this interview. Donald and Melania Trump were newlyweds at the time, and they discussed their relationship alongside Larry KIng. Despite the alleged "tension" today between the two, there was none of that during their candid interview. Both showed high praise towards one another, and it was all smiles.
Trump looked back on the first time they met.
"I went crazy. I was actually supposed to meet somebody else. There was this great supermodel sitting next to Melania. I was supposed to meet this supermodel. They said: Look, there's so and so. I said: Forget about her. Who is the one on the left? And it was Melania."
Melania agreed the chemistry between the two was immediate.
"It was a great chemistry and energy. We had a great time. We started to talk. And, you know, something was there right away."
Donald would go on to state that the two had a great bond, and hadn't gotten into a single argument in five years. Trump also concluded the interview by referring to Melania as his "rock."
With over 10 million views, the interview is definitely worth a look back on.
Donald made some other interesting reveals throughout the interview, and that included Melania's relationship with his exes.
Donald Trump Also Spoke Highly Of Melania's Relationship With His Exes During The Interview
Near the end of the interview, Melania is asked about Donald's exes and her relationship with them. Melania did admit they get along, but doesn't see them often.
Donald would also interject, putting an end to a rumor that his exes were at his wedding with Melania.
"No, no, that was a misconception. They weren't invited to the wedding. And they're wonderful -- you know, Ivana is wonderful and Marla is wonderful."
"Melania doesn't know Ivana. Maybe -- I don't think she's ever met her. But does not know. And does know Marla, and she has a great relationship with Marla. But she doesn't know Ivana."
Trump continued that he also wants what's best for his exes.
"I want them to be happy. Absolutely. They're the mother of my children -- the mothers of my children. So I want them to be happy. And I have a good relationship with both of them."
To conclude the interview, Melania was asked if Trump's past with women made her worry. Melania handled the question with grace even back then.
"No, I don't worry about that at all. I know who I am. And if a man doesn't want to be with me or I don't want to be with a man..."
It was a different side of the two and, as expected, fans had a lot to say looking back.
