Love them or hate them, the first family is firmly ensconced in the White House. Since Donald Trump took office, there have been many shocking occurrences. But one thing Trump has not upset so far is his marriage to Melania, which has lasted more than a decade. The Trumps lend credence to the saying, “opposites attract” — and you’d have to search far and wide to find two people who are more different.

Explore the ways in which fashion maven Melania Trump is completely different from her husband.

There is no shortage of Donald Trump moments in the spotlight. Melania Trump, on the other hand, rarely speaks when she’s in public and gives interviews only occasionally. Clearly, the two feel very differently about being public figures.

Donald Trump is famous for his incendiary, provocative rants. Hardly a day goes by that he doesn’t say — or tweet — something inflammatory. Melania Trump, however, is quiet. She goes about her business in a private way and has taken trips on her own to address the issues she champions, namely bullying and the opioid drug addiction crisis.

3. Their eating styles are way different







Donald Trump lives for fast food, according to Business Insider. In fact, he starred in a Pizza Hut commercial in 1995 and a McDonald’s commercial in 2002. He even tweeted a pic of himself eating a bucket of KFC chicken while he was campaigning.

First lady Melania Trump, according to Life & Style, is a super-healthy eater who tries to consume at least seven pieces of fruit a day, drinks lots of water and eschews fatty, rich foods. How in the world do they decide on where to go for dinner?

4. They have polar opposite senses of style

Although Donald Trump might hold his tie in place with tape and don some questionable outfits, Melania is very particular about her clothes. The Slovenia-born former model’s closet is brimming with designer fashion. In fact, she has been criticized for spending so much on her clothes (cue the $53,130 Dolce & Gabbana outfit she wore to the G-7 summit, according to Business Insider). But no one can say she’s not glamorous.

5. Their age difference is notable

Donald Trump is 71. Melania Trump is 47. Do the math — 24 years is a sizable difference. But despite the big gap in their ages, they’ve been married for over a decade. Perhaps Mark Twain was right when he said, “Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”

Melania is certainly not an experienced public servant. That said, she surely could help Donald when it comes to diplomatic meetings. She speaks five languages: Slovenian, English, Serbian, German, and French, according to CBS News. Donald Trump speaks only one: English.

Donald Trump tweets just about any time he can, unlike the first lady. According to CBS News, she tweeted “Happy Fourth of July” in the summer of 2015 and “Happy Easter” on March 27, 2016. In addition, she tweeted on Election Day to urge voters to get out and vote for Donald. The president, however, has a personal and an official Twitter account, according to CNN, which he uses quite frequently.
