Melania Trump is opening up about her relationship with Donald, life on the campaign trail and some of her famous friends in a new interview with DuJour.

The former model also takes some time to chide those who thinks she is just a pretty face with no brain, including MSNBC host Chris Matthews who the day before the interview was caught on air ogling Melania during an appearance in Indiana and saying; 'Did you see her walk? Runway walk. My God, is that good. I could watch that runway show.'

It is this behavior that upsets Melania, who says; 'Unbelievable. That’s what I’m saying! I’m not only a beauty, I’m smart. I have brains. I’m intelligent.

'I would just say, Men will be men.'

Later in the piece she talks about an interesting night with Michael Jackson and reveals that Bill and Hillary Clinton did not get her a gift at her wedding.

Speaking out: Melania Trump (above with Donald in Indiana earlier this month) reveals in a new interview that she gets upset that people think she is all looks and no brain

Laying low: Melania says she tries to avoid being in the public eye, and her day largely revolves around her son Barron and his school runs (seen above just after speaking to the writer from DuJour on May 5)

Famous friends: Michael Jackson (above with Donald in 1990) once asked Melania to make out with him so that Donald would be 'jealous' at dinner one night

'I don’t think they sent a gift,' says Melania when asked what her husband's likely opponent in the upcoming presidential race got her for her big day.

'Some people didn’t send gifts.'

Melania and Donald were married in 2005 at Mar-a-Lago, the billionaire's Palm Beach estate, with the Clintons among the many famous faces who attended the ceremony.

I don't think they sent a gift ... Some people didn't send gifts. -Melania on what the Clintons gave her at her wedding

The bride was featured on the cover of Vogue shortly after wearing her custom dress that was designed by John Galliano for Dior and said to have cost more than $100,000.

It was shortly after that wedding that Melania got to spend an evening with the King of Pop.

'I met Michael Jackson,' says Melania.

'It was here in New York in the Pierre Hotel. He called us, so we went over and we had dinner. Just after dinner, we were chatting on the sofa and my husband went into another room to see some art somebody wanted to show him.

'And Michael said to me, "Hey, when Trump comes back, let’s start kissing so he will be jealous!"'

Melania says she did not give Jackson that kiss, but that the pair 'were laughing so hard.'

Melania spends a majority of the interview however speaking about her life, her priorities, and how her relationship with Donald works.

'When you walk in a room, everybody knows the person. Sometimes people see you with that man and maybe they know more about the man, and they judge you or see you differently,' Melania says of marrying a celebrity.

I met Michael Jackson. It was here in New York in the Pierre Hotel. He called us, so we went over and we had dinner. Just after dinner, we were chatting on the sofa and my husband went into another room to see some art somebody wanted to show him. And Michael said to me, "Hey, when Trump comes back, let’s start kissing so he will be jealous!" -Melania on her night with the King of Pop

'You need to know who you are and you need to be very secure. You need to stand up for yourself. You need to have your own yes and no.'

Melania also reveals she told Donald he needed to think long and hard before deciding to run for president, knowing how much it would change their lives, especially for Melania, who despite her celebrity has remained very private.

'I have a life. I go out every day. I bring my son to school. I pick him up. I’m not an attention seeker. I’m not the one who calls paparazzi, "I have lunch with the girlfriends, and I’m going to this restaurant,"' explains Melania.

When asked about her friends Melania says she prefers 'quality over quantity.'

There are also the attacks on Donald from people like comedian Louis C.K., who compared the Republican front-runner to Hitler.

Melania says she does not know who he is, before saying about her husband; 'We know the truth. He’s not Hitler. He wants to help America. He wants to unite people. They think he doesn’t but he does. Even with the Muslims, it’s temporary.'

She then adds; 'Maybe he needs to say it in a softer way. He doesn’t go after religions. He feels like we need to know who’s coming to this country.

'If not, we don’t have a country. That’s how he feels. We see how he is, and he wants to unite the country and bring people together and bring jobs back.'

Faux pas: Melania also says that the Clintons (above in April) did not get her a wedding present after attending her 2005 ceremony at Mar-a-Lago

Angry: Melania attacks the GQ profile about her that revealed she had a secret half-brother, Denis Cigelnjak saying her parents (Viktor and Amalija Knavs right in 2011) are private citizens and it was unfair

Inappropriate: Melania talks about MSNBC host Chris Matthews (above on Meet the Press last month) ogling her and talking about her 'runway walk' on TV, calling it 'unbelievable'

She also attacks the GQ profile about her that revealed she had a secret half-brother, Denis Cigelnjak.

Melania at first denied that claims but was later forced to admit to truth when the writer provided her with legal proof.

The rent was $2,500 a month. I picked it out, everything on my own. I still remember, I went to shop for a TV and an air conditioner. I bought furniture. I went to Crate & Barrel. Does that still exist or no? -Melania on her first NYC apartment

'I have thick skin. It doesn’t bother me if they write about me because I know who I am. But what right does the reporter have to go and dig in court in Slovenia in 1960 about my parents?' says Melania.

'They’re private citizens. If they go after me, it’s different. But to do that, it’s a little bit nasty, it’s a little bit mean.'

As for the attacks the writer has been receiving, which include death threats and anti-Semitic comments, Melania says; 'I don’t control my fans, but I don’t agree with what they’re doing.'

She later adds; 'She provoked them.'

She is then asked about her brother, to which she replies; 'I never met him. He’s had his own life. I wish him all the best.'

Her parents meanwhile have an apartment at Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue, below the three-story penthouse she shares with her husband and their 10-year-old son Barron.

Viktor and Amalija Knavs do not spend all their time in New York City, but when they do help to watch Barron now that Melania is forced to travel more because of the election.

Melania's life now is much different than the one she had when she first came to the city, but Melania speaks about how proud she was when she was able to afford her own apartment for the first time with her modelling money.

'The rent was $2,500 a month. I picked it out, everything on my own. I still remember, I went to shop for a TV and an air conditioner. I bought furniture,' says Melania.

When asked where she got her furniture, she responds; 'I went to Crate & Barrel. Does that still exist or no?'

Melania adds that she kept that apartment for a long time too, even after she started dating Donald and moved into the Fifth Avenue penthouse.

It was kind of a fun experience. We stayed in a hotel. It was clean. It was, I think, a Holiday Inn. You do it in a fun way. My husband knows me and how I am. I like beautiful stuff. I live the life. It’s funny when we go and travel. They don’t have five-star hotels there, but you go with it. -Melania on travelling to Iowa

Now she has a taste for the finer things, but admits she did still have fun travelling to Iowa at the start of the primaries.

'It was kind of a fun experience. We stayed in a hotel. It was clean. It was, I think, a Holiday Inn. You do it in a fun way,' says Melania.

'My husband knows me and how I am. I like beautiful stuff. I live the life. It’s funny when we go and travel. They don’t have five-star hotels there, but you go with it.

'It was a great experience in Iowa, because we went to an Evangelical church on Sunday. The church we got married in is very different. In Iowa there was a band, there was singing. It was very different, but it was a great experience.'

The next stop could now be the White House for Melania, who says in the story as she has in every other interview how she would like to be like Jackie Kennedy if her husband was elected president.

She also says that no matter how big he gets, she will always be his equal when it comes to their relationship and not be afraid to share her opinions.

'To be married to my husband, to someone successful as he is, he needs somebody who will tell him the truth. Somebody smart, you know,' she says.

She later adds; 'I give a lot of advice to my husband and tell him how it is and how I see it. I’m not backing off. I tell him the truth.

'After a speech, the kids are calling me - Ivanka, [his] sons - saying, "Call dad and tell him this and that. He’s listening to you."
