As the prospect of President-elect Donald Trump's return to the White House looms, the anticipation of First Lady Melania Trump's comeback is equally palpable.
Amidst the current climate of wokeness, personified by the perceived lethargic President Joe Biden and his calamitous administration, the Trumps' return is seen by many as a breath of fresh air. Their embodiment of qualities that resonate with honest conservatives offers a nostalgic journey back to a time of admired values and principles.
According to Gateway Pundit, a memorable 2004 appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show provides a glimpse into these qualities. A then 58-year-old Donald Trump, accompanied by his 34-year-old Slovenian-born model fiancee, Melania Knauss, shared an insight into their life. Responding to DeGeneres' question about his tidiness, Trump revealed his fiancee's penchant for orderliness. "If I get up, leave bed for a minute, he said, I come back [and] the bed is made.
This commitment to orderliness aligns with the advice of Canadian psychologist and conservative intellectual, Jordan Peterson. In his book, 12 Rules for Life: An Antidote to Chaos, Peterson encourages readers to cultivate orderly habits, which he argues foster humility and serve as a counter to narcissistic wokeness. One of the books chapters is aptly titled: Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world.
Melania Trump's insistence on orderliness in her physical environment is seen as a reflection of her other admirable traits. Her public appearances are often characterized by grace, calm, and an absence of preachiness, contrasting with the current First Lady, Jill Biden, who is perceived as more spotlight-seeking.
Donald Trump's past interactions with celebrities continue to intrigue. In 2004, he hosted the popular TV series The Apprentice. When DeGeneres asked him about a particularly noteworthy moment on the show, Trump, true to his nature, highlighted the shows ratings, eliciting applause from the audience. DeGeneres then encapsulated the shows appeal, stating, And it is entertaining just because you are so real.
However, as the narrative around Trump shifted, so did the attitudes of his peers. Once the establishment dictated that Trump was to be despised, celebrities and their audiences fell in line. Despite this, Trump's focus on ratings and crowd sizes, seen as measures of success, remained unchanged.
The return of the Trumps, particularly the orderly-minded Melania, is seen by many as a refreshing change. Her unchanged persona is expected to bring a much-needed breath of fresh air to the White House. The anticipation of their return serves as a testament to their enduring appeal among a significant segment of the American population.
