PALM BEACH, FLORIDA: Donald Trump might be dominating the news cycle over his historic political comeback, but an old-school clip of him gushing about Melania Trump’s near-superhuman bedroom habit is making waves.

Back in 2004, then-58-year-old businessman Trump and his stunning fiancee Melania charmed audiences on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show'.

And let’s just say one quirky revelation from that interview has everyone talking again.

Donald Trump dishes on Melania's one-minute wonder

During the sit-down, Ellen DeGeneres quizzed the soon-to-be power couple about their home life — diving into the oh-so-glamorous topic of chores.

When asked if Trump took out the garbage, Melania’s answer was as diplomatic as ever: “No, he’s doing his job. I let him do his job, and I do my job, and the housekeeper does her job.”

But it wasn’t Melania’s delegation skills that had Trump bursting with pride—it was her bedroom superpower. Turns out, Melania has the uncanny ability to make their bed in less time than it takes most of us to hit snooze.

“If I get up and leave the bed for a minute, I come back, and it’s made,” Trump said, still low-key awestruck. “She’s so neat. Everything’s perfect.”

He even chalked it up to her European roots: “She’s from a part of the world... the Austria-Slovenia thing is being immaculate.”

Melania giggled like a soon-to-be bride as her fiance showered her with compliments. “I like stuff perfect, you know? I’m very organized," she added.



 

Million-dollar dinner plans and Melania Trump's mysterious moves

The resurfaced clip comes as Donald Trump gears up for his potential second round in the Oval Office. His inaugural committee is rolling out the red carpet for deep-pocketed donors. And the cherry on top is an “intimate dinner” with Donald and Melania for those who pony up at least $1 million—or raise $2 million for the event.

A leaked flier titled Trump Vance Inaugural Committee Benefits promises high-rollers six tickets to a lineup of inaugural events, including the January 20 swearing-in ceremony at the Capitol and a swanky dinner with the Trumps on January 19. Dubbed the “pinnacle event,” the exclusive soiree is clearly being used as a major selling point to rake in the cash.

It's worth noting that Melania has kept things very low-key in the lead to this election. She’s yet to confirm her attendance at any inaugural events, but the leaked flier notes she’s slated to join Trump for a Sunday morning service.

Despite hiring a chief of staff for the East Wing, Melania hasn’t spilled any details about her plans for her second stint as first lady. Rumor has it she’s still living in New York City, where their son Barron Trump attends NYU. Whether she’ll make the full-time move back to the White House remains a mystery.

And if you’re wondering whether Melania’s side hustles will take a backseat during her potential return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, think again. She’s free to keep cashing in on her book, jewelry, and collectible merchandise ventures—no legal red tape in sight.

Another fun fact? Melania isn’t exactly itching to join the First Ladies’ social club. She famously snubbed Jill Biden’s invitation to tea during Trump’s meeting with Joe Biden at the White House, and it’s unclear if she’s planning to change that dynamic in Round Two, the Daily Mail reported.
