Trump Biographer: Donald ‘Welcomes’ Melania’s Abortion Embrace
A reporter known for having sources embedded deep in Donald Trump’s orbit said Friday she believes the former president “would welcome” his wife’s newly-revealed stance in favor of abortion rights.
Maggie Haberman, of The New York Times, said on the paper’s The Daily podcast that Melania Trump taking a public stance as bold as being in favor of abortion rights while married to Trump would “make him happy.”
“I think there is a world in which this is not a hidden attempt to try to soften him,” Haberman said. “Although I imagine that he would welcome that and would make him happy, and it was simply a way for her to get her thoughts out and get attention.”
