Melania Trump says she's been victim of 'misrepresentation' in the media as she promotes memoir
'It is important to share my perspective: The truth,' Melania Trump said in the video
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Former first lady Melania Trump posted a trailer for her memoir, which is expected to be released in October, on social media on Thursday, and appeared to take a shot at the media.
"As a private person who has often been the subject of public scrutiny and misrepresentation, I feel a responsibility to clarify the facts. I believe it is important to share my perspective: The truth," she said in the trailer posted to X.
Her first-ever memoir, "Melania," is set to be released to the public on Oct. 1, but as of Aug. 26, pre-orders reached the top of multiple Amazon’s best-selling books lists.

"Writing my memoir has been an amazing journey filled with emotional highs and lows," the former first lady previously told Fox News Digital. "Each story shaped me into who I am today."

The memoir, according to the press release, is "a powerful and inspiring story of a woman who has carved her own path, overcome adversity and defined personal excellence."
There will be two separate editions of "Melania." The first will be published on Oct. 1. The second version — the "Collector’s Edition" — will be published at a later date. The memoir is being published by Skyhorse Publishing.
