In his book Fire and Fury" Inside the Trump White House, author Michael Wolff claimed that Donald Trump and his wife didn’t spend a lot of time together before he became president and often went days without seeing each other before he was elected in November 2016.
Wolff, who based his book on over 200 interviews conducted with those who knew the couple very well, said that the president boasted to people that Melania was his "trophy wife."
Melania’s statement
Despite constant reports that the Trumps have an unhappy marriage, neither Melania nor Donald have actually come out to confirm this.

However, a New York Times article reported that in 2005, a newlywed Melania addressed the question that she was with her husband simply for his money.
While speaking to a business class at New York University, a student asked her if she would have gotten married to Donald Trump if he wasn’t rich. Melania reportedly responded:
If I weren’t beautiful, do you think he’d be with me?

Her candid response served to fuel the speculations that just as Donald was attracted to her for her beauty, Melania was attracted to his wealth.
Reactions
Following this unearthed response given my Melania, some internet users have dropped commentaries about the couple’s marriage.
They deserve each other.

The fact she thinks he stays with her because she’s beautiful is mind boggling?😮 She’s absolutely Beautiful but men like Donald are constantly on the hunt for a better piece of tail? That’s why her beauty didn’t matter when he cheated on her? 🥺

At least she admits it. I don’t happen to think she’s beautiful, but that’s just my opinion

A few people implied that this arrangement wasn’t a secret as it was generally assumed that FLOTUS married her husband for the recognition and wealth.
Yes, the plastic surgery was somewhat successful.

No surprise here.

It’s been very obvious since he became president that she really just not that in to him.

Money without love is empty. Yes, you can buy affection, but, you cannot buy love.

One may also want to consider the possibility that Melania was joking with the response she gave in 2005 considering that the couple is still together after so many years.
