A new tell-all book describes first lady Melania Trump as a strong force in the White House who is eager to protect her husband amid the chaos and backstabbing in the West Wing.

The first lady has gone as far as pushing for staffing changes when she has viewed her husband’s aides as being disloyal, former White House communications aide Cliff Sims writes in “Team of Vipers," set for release Tuesday.

The first lady is a “savvy consumer of news,” who spends hours each day, not unlike her husband, watching television coverage and reading news stories about the West Wing, according to the book, an early copy of which was obtained by the Washington Examiner.

The book says Trump called the Oval Office in April 2017 to alert her husband to a Politico story quoting the president’s then communications director Mike Dubke as telling White House staff their boss needed a “rebrand” and lacked a coherent foreign policy. Dubke denied the story to the president, but resigned from the White House a month later.

Sims also denies Trump was in tears after her husband won the presidency in 2016, a key claim in Michael Wolff’s Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House. Sims refers to it and other claims made in the book as “second- or third-hand rumors.”

That claim, among others, recently landed a British newspaper in trouble. The Daily Telegraph apologized to Trump over the weekend and agreed to pay the first lady “substantial damages” for a cover story with “a number of false statements,” including that Trump cried on the night of the election.

In his book, Sims describes a different version of events on Election Night.

“The man who is never at a loss for words was rendered speechless by the verdict of history. And he looked, just for the briefest of moments, vulnerable. Sensing this was Melania Trump. Melania was never the person outside observers seemed convinced that she was — a reluctant and put-upon spouse who just wanted to escape him. For good or ill, she was in it with him all the way. In that moment, she reached for her husband’s hand and squeezed it,” Sims writes.

“We’re going to do this together,” Trump told her husband. “And you’re going to be a great president.”
