Sean Rameswaram: 本期节目讨论了梅拉尼娅新书的宣传方式以及书中内容。该书宣传方式奇特,与梅拉尼娅本人风格一致,引发公众关注。 Martin Pengelly: 梅拉尼娅的自传读起来很快,但内容平淡,缺乏严谨性,对特朗普的描述过于正面,并回避了诸多争议性事件,例如其签证问题、与特朗普的负面新闻等。书中对抄袭米歇尔·奥巴马演讲的解释前后矛盾,对“我真不在乎,你呢”夹克事件的解释也与其他说法不符。此外,书中还包含大量照片,最后部分则宣传了梅拉尼娅的NFT作品。 Margaret Hartmann: 梅拉尼娅的书是特朗普家族一系列商业行为的最新案例。特朗普家族利用其公众形象和品牌效应进行商业活动,销售各种商品,包括书籍、手表、服装、硬币、圣经、NFT等,产品质量参差不齐,但销售对象主要是特朗普的支持者。特朗普的这些商业行为与其面临的法律纠纷有关,他可能需要资金来应对这些纠纷。 Melania Trump: 在书中,梅拉尼娅为自己过去裸体模特的工作和媒体对其的关注进行辩解,并表达了对特朗普的爱意。 Sean Rameswaram: 本期节目讨论了梅拉尼娅新书的宣传方式以及书中内容。该书宣传方式奇特,与梅拉尼娅本人风格一致,引发公众关注。 Martin Pengelly: 梅拉尼娅的自传读起来很快,但内容平淡,缺乏严谨性,对特朗普的描述过于正面,并回避了诸多争议性事件,例如其签证问题、与特朗普的负面新闻等。书中对抄袭米歇尔·奥巴马演讲的解释前后矛盾,对“我真不在乎,你呢”夹克事件的解释也与其他说法不符。此外,书中还包含大量照片,最后部分则宣传了梅拉尼娅的NFT作品。 Margaret Hartmann: 梅拉尼娅的书是特朗普家族一系列商业行为的最新案例。特朗普家族利用其公众形象和品牌效应进行商业活动,销售各种商品,包括书籍、手表、服装、硬币、圣经、NFT等,产品质量参差不齐,但销售对象主要是特朗普的支持者。特朗普的这些商业行为与其面临的法律纠纷有关,他可能需要资金来应对这些纠纷。 Melania Trump: 在书中,梅拉尼娅为自己过去裸体模特的工作和媒体对其的关注进行辩解,并表达了对特朗普的爱意。

Chapters
Melania Trump's memoir, "Melania," has generated buzz due to its peculiar promotional style and content. Described as bland and self-justifying, the book offers a glimpse into her life, from her upbringing in Slovenia to her modeling career and arrival in New York. However, it glosses over controversial aspects, such as her visa acquisition, and omits details about Donald Trump's scandals. The memoir also includes a 64-page photo section, showcasing her modeling career and even promoting her NFTs.
