Melania Trump has worked really hard to sound enthusiastic about her memoir (and her marriage).

Melania Trump seems to have never heard of the concept of “yes and,” a technique from improvisational comedy that is also useful in situations such as conducting a human conversation. In an interview with Fox & friends in support of her upcoming coffee-table-book-slash-memoir, which aired Thursday, host Ainsley Earhardt tossed the former first lady's softball after softball, with Melania largely watching as it fell straight into the ether.

Like when she was asked to describe the early days of their romance Donald TrumpMelania said: “We met at a party and you can read a whole chapter in the book.”

Milestones in their relationship, such as their first date, which the smitten woman characterized as “if you could call it a date” since it consisted of a drive of more than an hour to one or another property in which her future husband was interested had , are told in similarly lackluster terms. Their engagement in 2004, which took place after the Met Gala, which also happened to be Melania's birthday? “We were already home and wearing black tie. He proposed then.”

And oh, that wedding! “As a bride you want to make sure everything goes smoothly and it worked. We had a lovely day.”

“It worked.” Powerless, right?

In the interview, Melania expressed herself most extensively and with commitment on the subject of her modeling career, the source of the approximately 2,000 nude pictures that may or may not appear in the upcoming volume. This taught her to have the thick skin that she needed as the wife of a politician, she explained.

“I believe nothing has prepared me better to stand before the world as First Lady than the fashion industry,” she said. “The fashion industry is glamorous but at the same time it's very hard because everyone judges you a certain way, so it can be a mean world. Nothing has prepared me better for this world than fashion. It gives you thick skin.”

The fashion world? Cutthroat? A shock.

She describes Donald as “very special” and “caring” and their relationship as “beautiful.” Above all, she paints a picture of a philosophically lonely life in which she ignores her connection to the decisions of her husband and other family members.

“I have no control over my husband, I have no control over his children, I don’t even have control over my own child,” she said. “He is his own person, and we all have yeses and nos, and we are all individuals. If you live your life with respect, that’s all that matters.”
