Internet divided as sources claim Trump campaign relies on Melania as ‘secret weapon’ to win unsure voters

WASHINGTON, DC: A plan to present Melania Trump as a 'softer, more moderate voice' for the Trump campaign is reflected in her headline fundraiser later this month, sources close to the campaign told the New York Post.

While Donald Trump will attend the Log Cabin Republicans' dinner at Mar-a-Lago on April 20 with his wife, insiders informed that the campaign wants to highlight Melania as the feminine counterbalance to his aggressive manner and to do so consistently.

Sources claim Trump's campaign relies on Melania as ‘secret weapon'

A source close to the campaign said, "The Trump campaign recognizes that Melania is their secret weapon. Her appeal is critical to win battleground states and undecided voters, especially now that they’ve won the primary and are hyper-focused on the general."

"This is just the beginning of using softer faces and voices as surrogates. They’re coming up with a more diverse picture — they’re trying to make voters feel more comfortable," Democratic strategist Hank Sheinkopf stated to the New York Post.

Caroline Wren, a GOP fundraiser, claims that 53-year-old Melania is a draw on her own. She said, "People will ask me if Melania will be at a fundraiser before they sign up. People really like her… she is a huge asset to the campaign and to fundraising."

Even though Melania is anticipated to present a 'friendly face' throughout the upcoming months on the campaign trail, competitors circulated 'Missing Melania' fliers in advance of the Iowa Caucus in January due to her prior absence.

However, Melania informed reporters to 'stay tuned' for her next campaign appearances when the Trumps turned up to cast their ballots in the Florida presidential primary on March 19.

Despite Melania's absence from the spotlight, another person familiar with the Trump campaign told the New York Post that she has played a crucial role in the contest.

"It is a real marriage and Melania is absolutely his biggest supporter… and all in on Trump. They want the public to see that too," the source said.
