Where did Melania Trump first meet Donald Trump?

Melania first met Donald Trump when she visited the Kit Kat Klub in New York City during Fashion Week in 1988. Donald Trump was not by himself at the time, but according to Melania, was with an “attractive blonde” date. They came to greet her at a table in the VIP section.

Melania recalled their first encounter in her memoir and said: “From the moment our conversation began, I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature.” Donald Trump reportedly asked for Melania’s phone number, but she is believed to have declined and is said to have asked for his number instead. 

Does Melania discuss assassination attempts in the memoir?

Towards the end of the memoir, Melania Trump recalls what it was like to witness the assassination attack on Donald Trump that took place at the July rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Melania Trump was not at the rally at the time and watched it on television. She wrote: “I watched the chaos unfold: the gunfire, Donald instinctively reaching up to his head, and the immediate response of Secret Service agents shielding him.”
