Melania insists she isn't shy when it comes to giving her husband political advice. "I give him my opinions, many, many times," she told CNN.
"I don't agree with everything that he says but, you know, that is normal," she added. "I'm my own person, I tell him what I think. I'm standing very strong on the ground on my two feet and I'm my own person. And I think that's very important in the relationship."
Asked what habit she would like to see her husband give up, Melania didn't have to ponder her answer for long. "The tweeting," she said.
On her own Twitter account, Melania mostly sticks to the blandest of updates – the New York skyline features heavily, as do photos of food and fashion, alongside a few innocuous snaps from the campaign trail.
