Melania Trump told CNN she disagrees with her husband Donald's use of vulgar language on the campaign trail — especially when
he repeated the word a woman in a crowd called Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
"I don't try to change him. He's an adult. He knows the consequences, and so I let him be who he is," Trump said in a preview of the interview with Anderson Cooper set to air Monday night. "I give him my opinions, many, many times."
When asked by Cooper an example of something she disagrees with the GOP presidential front-runner on, Trump cited his salty language.
"Especially, I was in New Hampshire when the woman was shouting out the inappropriate word, and I was there and I'm thinking, like, 'Don't repeat it,' in my head, just for him, 'Don't repeat it, just don't say it, because the next day, media, all they would talk is about that,'" she said. "But he repeated it. He goes with the momentum. He goes with the flow. He goes with the people. They're having fun. Everybody was cheering."
Sure enough, her instincts were right. Trump's repeating of the woman's claim that Cruz is a p**** was one of the next day's top stories.
"He heard from you about that?" Cooper asked Trump.
"Yeah, I told him that, yes," she said.
