‘The Art of Her Deal’: Unauthorized Melania Trump biography due out in June

An unauthorized biography of first lady Melania Trump will be released in June, publisher Simon & Schuster announced Wednesday. 

The book, titled “The Art of Her Deal,” was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post reporter Mary Jordan, who interviewed over 100 people for the project. The book will come out on June 16.

“Documenting Melania’s key role in Trump’s political life before and at the White House, Jordan sheds light on the otherwise mysterious Melania and shows who she really is — a savvy, steely, ambitious, deliberate woman who knows how to play the long game,” the publishing company said in an announcement. 

“And while it is her husband who became famous for the phrase ‘the art of the deal,’ it is Melania who has consistently pulled off deals that bring her exactly what she wants. This is the art of her deal,” the statement says.

Jordan’s work on the biography began in 2015 and covers Melania Trump’s life from a child in Slovenia all the way through her relationship with Donald Trump and ultimately her role as first lady.

A Simon & Schuster spokeswoman told The Associated Press that while Jordan has interviewed Melania Trump for the Post, the White House did not make her available for an interview for the book.
