Melania Trump’s former close friend and White House aide has shared a bombshell allegation about the former first family.
On June 16, Stephanie Winston Wolkoff posted a clip on X, formerly Twitter, showing an opening scene from the sixth season of The Apprentice, which aired in 2007. Donald Trump starred in the reality series, which saw business hopefuls battle it out to work with him.
The video shows Melania Trump walking out of Mar-a-Lago, the family’s Florida estate, holding their son, Barron, and greeting her husband as he arrives in a convertible.
In the video’s caption and a follow-up X post, Winston Wolkoff—who has been highly critical of Melania Trump since their relationship soured in 2018—said the marriage between the former real estate mogul and Slovenian model was “created” by reality TV producers and was a mutual benefit that “legitimized them both.”
In The Apprentice clip, Melania Trump, holding baby Barron in her arms, says: “Hi, Daddy. Daddy is coming home.”
Donald Trump says, “Hi honey,” as he exits the car and kisses his wife and son. She tells him, “Welcome home,” and they begin walking together as he speaks to the camera.
“When this 14-week job interview is over, only one candidate will remain. Who will succeed, who will fail, and who will be the apprentice?” Donald Trump says as his wife stands beside him.
Winston Wolkoff wrote on X: “Many may think ‘DADDY’S HOME’ is Father’s Day video. Nope! Millions of Americans watched the Apprentice. Donald was a household name. He needed a woman who looked & played the part & let him be the star. Marrying Melania & making her a Vogue Cover model—legitimized them both.”
The former aide added: “What catapulted Donald J. Trump ‘businessman’ and his ‘supermodel’ wife to the White House was a MIRAGE created by Survivor producer Mark Burnett and NBC boss Jeff Zucker. Editor in chief of Variety & NYT bestselling author @RaminSetoodeh chronicles the definitive untold story of Trump’s years as a reality TV star & how Trump himself admits he might not have been president without The Apprentice.”
Winston Wolkoff was Melania Trump’s first hire after Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory. Their friendship ended after allegations that Winston Wolkoff benefited financially by working as a contractor for Donald Trump’s 2017 presidential inauguration.
Reports said WIS Media Partners, Winston Wolkoff’s event-planning company, received $26 million to help coordinate Donald Trump’s inauguration.
In Melania and Me, her 2020 tell-all book, the former aide said she resigned because the Trump administration scapegoated her. She denied claims that she received $26 million, saying she was paid a fee of $1.6 million.

If they’re faking a marriage, they’re doing a good enough job of it that they should get full credit for it…
I made it quite clear that I have no respect for either Trump or Melania and I truly believe there is a lot of show and fake in that relationship….but not anymore than the average marriage between a cheating rich old man and his trophy wife.
I always dislike Trump and never watched the Apprentice nor any “reality shows” (which are bullshit and the people that believe they are genuine are quite dumb)
What a nasty woman. I don’t believe a word she says. Just trying to sell a crappy book.
Know who her “market” is. Trump’s no angel, but up beside Killiary and dimmercraps, he’s white as titanium dioxide.
Yep. Just trying to sell books and get paid for interviews
Well, you need to know this woman is a very jealous person!
In an election year, believe 0 NOTTA on anything a writer or Media person spews from one’s Mouth, Period!!!
