Melania Trump angry about Donald's 'affairs' but 'lives in ivory tower of denial'

Melania Trump is furious about her husband Donald's alleged affairs but "lives in an ivory tower of denial" using silence as a "protective armour" and will never divorce him, a former aide has said.

The marriage between the 52-year-old former model and 75-year-old Trump has been once again under the spotlight due to his arrest over hush money paid to porn star Daniels.

Melania was not by Trump's side as he was arrested on Tuesday in New York City nor did you attend the after party at Trump's Florida estate, Mar-a-Lago.

Former aide Stephanie Wolkoff Winston, who help produce Trump's inauguration and later worked as an unpaid White House adviser.

Speaking about her close relationship with Melania, she told the Mail: "Of course she knows about Donald's affairs, she knows everything.

"But her silence is her dignity. She will stand by her husband, as she always does. I don't think Melania is humiliated by his affairs – but she is angry."

Mr Trump is the first former president in history to face criminal charges against him relating to alleged hush money payments paid to Playboy model Karen McDougal and porn star Stormy Daniels.

Both claim they had an affair with the controversial businessman-turned-politician during his marriage to Melania; the pair have been married since 2005.

Regarding Melania not appearing by Trump's side, Ms Wolkoff added: "Her silence is deliberate, it is her weapon of choice and her protective armour."

She added: "Still she isn't leaving him. This is a transactional marriage, she knew what she was getting into when she married Donald. Her means of survival is to just act like it never happened."

She predicted the former president's wife will appear back at his side soon.

Insiders claim the couple separate lives and only meet for the odd dinner at his Palm Beach mansion.

“Their paths barely cross,” said a source.

“Melania is no different to any woman. Having her husband accused of cheating on her not just once but twice is extremely disturbing

"There is little wonder people believe it's not just the criminal court Trump is heading to but possibly a divorce one too."

Melania reportedly stays busy with her family instead.

"She remains angry and doesn't want to hear [the alleged hush money payment] mentioned," a source told PEOPLE last month. "She is aware of who her husband is and keeps her life upbeat with her own family and a few close friends.".

Stormy Daniels has said she has "nothing to hide" and will testify if called to give evidence against former president Donald Trump.

The porn star, 44, is set to be grilled by talk show host Piers Morgan as she speaks out for the first time since Trump made an appearance in court on Tuesday.

The former US president was in court to face arraignment for 34 counts of falsifying business records in the first degree. He pleaded not guilty to the charges.

In a teaser clip for her interview with Piers, the adult actress was asked how she would feel about potentially testifying in court "in a trial that will be watched around the world.

Daniels said she is "looking forward to it" as she is "the only one that has been telling the truth".
