President Trump Was On A Date With Another Woman At The Time He Met Melania

Donald and Melania Trump are the new power couple on the block - quite literally, Trump is probably the most powerful man in the world right now.

Despite Trump being the President of the United States, it's his First Lady who has stolen the limelight since his inauguration on January 20.

The couple appear to be quite different - and sometimes opposites attract - but how exactly did they hit it off?

Well, apparently it all began while Trump was on a date with Another woman - and Melania accused him of doing something 'sneaky' so that he could get rid of his date and score some alone time with the model.

Melania Knauss was at a party in New York City in 1998, when she was just 28 years old and Trump was aged 52. She had been invited there by the Italian businessman who set her up as a model in the USA.

In an interview the couple did with People , Donald Trump said: "I saw Melania and I said, 'Who is that?'

"She was a very successful model. She was terrific. I tried to get her number and she wouldn't give it to me."

Melania told the magazine: "I had heard he was a ladies' man, and so I said, 'I'm not one of the ladies."

Having heard about Trump's reputation, she refused to give him her number and instead insisted he should give her his details

Melania reportedly told GQ that you can tell a lot about a man's intentions by the number he gives you - whether it's his office number or personal.

Trump apparently gave her "all of his numbers". He must have really wanted her to call...

The First Lady then found out that he had managed to secure some alone time with her in quite a sneaky manner.

"He said later that he sent [his date] to the ladies' room so he could get my number. I was like, 'Oh what a sneaky way!'"

Melania took his number and, after returning from a modelling gig in the Caribbean, gave him a call.

On their first date, they talked for "the whole evening" and the rest, as they say, is history.

Donald began dating Melania the same year. They married seven years later, in 2005, and she gave birth to their son Barron in 2006.

People around the world have expressed concern for Melania after they noticed her 'miserable' facial expressions on the day her husband became President.

After her face appeared to drop when Trump turned to say something to her during his swearing-in ceremony, she became a viral meme with thousands of people tweeting under the hashtags #SaveMelania and #FreeMelania.
