Her home is a penthouse at Trump Tower, designed in the style of Louis XIV, with marble fittings and crystal chandeliers, and bird's-eye views of New York's Central Park. For a decade Melania Trump, 45, has lived in relative seclusion in her Manhattan eyrie, remaining quietly in the shadow of her larger-than-life billionaire husband, Donald.But she is about to change all that by joining his campaign to become the Republican presidential candidate.Her mission will be to soften Trump's image by counteracting some of his more incendiary remarks, especially those about women.At the first Republican debate last month, moderator Megyn Kelly interrogated Trump over his use of terms such as "fat pigs" and "slobs" to describe women. Trump suggested later that menstruation had been responsible for Kelly's line of questioning. The row led Hillary Clinton to join the attacks on him at the weekend, claiming he insulted and dismissed women. She also mocked his statement that he "cherishes" women."If it's all the same to you, Mr Trump, I'd rather you stop cherishing women and start respecting women," she said.Trump responded in characteristic fashion, slating her for reciting her attack on him using "the biggest teleprompter I've ever seen".Such combativeness has made him the star of the Republican campaign but in polls measuring "favourability" he lags in sixth place. His supporters are counting on the appeal of his wife to move him up the rankings.She told The New York Times that if Donald were elected, she "would be very traditional, like Betty Ford or Jackie Kennedy". ..
