Melania Trump's blunt five-word order to Donald as photo op goes wrong

Melania Trump once gave Donald Trump a blunt order when a photo opportunity went wrong, a new book written by the US President's son has claimed.

Eric Trump, 41, released his memoir - Under Siege: My Family's Fight to Save Our Nation - this week. The book has been described as an "unfiltered look at the highs and lows of life in the Trump world".

Eric, the second son to Trump, opened up about bringing his own family into the White House for a special occasion where the First Lady had to intervene at a key moment.

He shares two children with wife Lara, called Luke and Carolina, and both of them were baptised in his father's historic workplace in Washington DC. This took place in the East Room below the famous portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

However, after the baptism, Melania, 55, gave a five-word order to her husband after his grandson started crying.

Revealing the details in his book, Eric wrote: "For Lara and me, having Luke and Carolina baptized there just seemed natural. My father could leave the Chinese delegation, or whatever the meeting of the day, and Luke and Carolina could feel the beauty of the building, and a movement that was now engrained in their DNA.

"After the baptism, my father picked up his new grandson and held him for a photo. Right on cue, and still dripping with water, Luke started to cry.

"Melania turned to him with a smile and took charge. 'Donald, you run the country,' she said as she gently took Luke and cradled him in her arms."

Writing on Truth Social on Tuesday, he said: "UNDER SIEGE, which is breaking records everywhere. It's a phenomenal book that's a must-read for everyone. Congratulations Eric, you deserve it."

Eric meanwhile has been on a promotional tour for the book and has been dishing out huge compliments about his father along the way.

Speaking on The Benny Show podcast about his old man, Eric said: "He is heaven-bound, and I can tell you maybe the one thing he does that might have influenced heaven is...

"I think there is a lot less people going to heaven, meaning, they are going to heaven slower because he stopped the death and destruction around the world."

However, last weekend, when asked whether his Hamas and Israel peace deal would grant him access to heaven, Trump was less sure than his son.

He said: "I don't think there's anything [that is] going to get me in heaven. Okay? I think I'm not maybe heaven-bound."

Trump added: "I'm not sure I'm going to be able to make heaven, but I've made life a lot better for a lot of people."
