During her promotional tour for Melania: A Memoir, the former First Lady made headlines with a surprisingly candid moment on Fox News’ The Five. When asked about Donald Trump’s sleep routine, Melania didn’t hold back.
“He doesn’t sleep much,” she said, before quickly correcting herself: “He does, of course.” The panel leaned in, curious. Greg Gutfeld asked if Trump wore pajamas. Melania responded with a firm “No.” When pressed further—“What does he wear when he sleeps?”—she simply made a zipping gesture across her lips, refusing to elaborate.
The moment went viral.
While Trump has long claimed he only sleeps four to five hours a night, insiders say his sleep habits are more disruptive than disciplined. CNN’s Kaitlan Collins shared on a podcast that traveling with Trump on Air Force One was exhausting. “He doesn’t sleep on these trips,” she said. “He’ll have staff woken up just because he wants to talk.”
Melania’s playful silence and Trump’s erratic sleep schedule paint a picture of a man who never truly powers down—and a wife who’s learned when to speak and when to zip it.
Whether you find it amusing or bizarre, one thing’s clear: behind closed doors, the Trump household runs on its own kind of energy.
