First Lady Melania Trump Revealed Her Favorite TV Shows and We’re Really Confused

New York[RR]Washington-DC–It has been an interesting first year for President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump. While President Trump has spent all year dominating the news for his outlandish statements, archaic policies, and Twitter rants, his 47-year-old wife has had a much more low-key year as first lady.

The Slovenian native has been in the news for her fashion choices, her apparent trepidation for her new role in the spotlight, and for her strange holiday decorations in The White House. Though the first lady did not move to Washington until summer 2017 after her 11-year-old son Barron Trump finished out the school year in New York City, it seems that she is trying to be more vocal and show Americans exactly who she is.

However, when First Lady Trump recently revealed her favorite television shows, we were all left scratching our heads.

Before he became president, Donald Trump was known for his money and his role as the host of the reality TV series, The Apprentice. He even had a cameo in the 1991 hit, Home Alone 2: Lost in New York. However, since the 2016 Presidential campaign and his subsequent election, the Trumps relationship with Hollywood, which tends to be left-leaning, has become rocky at best.

In December, Tom Hanks said he would not attend a screening of his critically acclaimed film, The Post, if the Trumps chose to host a screening at The White House. Hanks’ co-star, Meryl Streep, has also called out Trump for his bullying.

MELANIA TRUMP LOVES ‘HOW TO GET AWAY WITH MURDER,’ WHILE HER HUSBAND WON’T SIT THROUGH MOVIES

President Donald Trump’s 45.2 million Twitter followers already know that he loves making pop culture references, from repurposing Elton John’s “Rocket Man” as a nickname for North Korea’s Kim Jong Un to treating his presidency like a television show by signing his tweets with “Stay tuned!” But a Tuesday report from The New York Times revealed the president has a hard time sitting through movies while First Lady Melania Trump’s favorite television show is How to Get Away with Murder.

The first lady recently told the Times that her favorite TV show is the ABC legal drama starring Viola Davis, and she also enjoys the hip-hop music industry drama, Empire. Her husband told reporters that he likes Citizen Kane, a Orson Welles drama based on the life of self-destructive newspaper mogul William Randolph Hearst.

“Trump once told me that he had trouble sitting through movies. That he knew in the first five minutes if he’d enjoy it or not. And he had no problem getting up and leaving,” said Times reporter Patrick Healy.Trump himself better enjoys the small-screen, as it was recently revealed that the president watches at least four hours of television a day, starting with CNN at 5:30 a.m. Of course, representations of Trump and the major figures in his administration have been a fixture of many TV shows, including Saturday Night Live.

Trump has lashed out against the show and actor Alec Baldwin’s portrayal of him, but the first lady reportedly likes when Saturday Night Live makes fun of the her husband.

“Someone told me—who’s friends with someone in the White House, or formerly in the White House—that Melania Trump loves SNL and she loves my impersonation,” Baldwin said in November.

The president prefers classic mob movies like Goodfellas and The Godfather while also enjoying action films like Bloodsport.

Donald Trump has had a rocky history with the movie industry. Even though Trump himself has made cameos in movies like Home Alone 2: Lost in New York, Hollywood a-listers like Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep have spoken out against the president. In December, Hanks told The Hollywood Reporter that he wouldn’t go to a screening of The Post at the White House should Trump decide to host the movie. In January, Streep called out then-President-elect Donald Trump and his bullying tactics toward the press at the Golden Globe Awards.
