Melinda Trump (née Knavs) was Trump's third wife. Born in Slovenia to a father who was a proponent of atheism and communism. She moved to the U.S. in 1996, where she worked without a visa, and then subsequently gained citizenship in 2001 through a program designed for people with "extraordinary abilities". This then allowed her parents to become citizens using "chain migration"¹, a route that her husband later repeatedly criticized.

Eva Anna Paula Hitler (née Braun) was the longtime companion of Adolf Hitler and, for less than 40 hours, his wife. Braun met Hitler in Munich when she was a 17-year-old assistant and model for his personal photographer Heinrich Hoffmann. A photographer, she took many of the surviving color photographs and films of Hitler. She was a key figure within Hitler's inner social circle but did not attend public events with him until mid-1944 when her sister Gretl married Hermann Fegelein, the SS liaison officer on his staff.

Besides the obvious similarities regarding marrying older angry men, with bad hair, who made histrionic speeches, there are numerous others:

1. They both had German surnames before marrying their dear loves: 

   • Melanie Knauss. 

   • Eva Braun.

2. They both had mothers who worked in the dress-making industry: 

   • Trump's mother was a pattern maker for children's clothing. 

   • Braun's mother was a seamstress. 

3. They both had older sisters whose first name began with the letter "I": 

   • Trump's older sister is named  Ines. 

   • Braun's older sister was named Ilse.

4. They both were involved with photography: 

   • Trump was a model. 

   • Braun was a photographer. 

5. They both met their future husbands through their work: 

   • Trump met her future husband at the Kit Kat Club during fashion week. - NY Times, Aug 31, 2016

   • Braun met her future husband at the photography studio where she worked. 

6. They both married men considerably older than themselves: 

   • Trump is 24 years younger than her husband. 

   • Braun was 23 years older than her husband. 

7. They both had their wedding reception at their husband's place of work: 

   • Trump's reception was at Mar-a-Lago. 

   • Braun's was at the Führerbunker.

8. They both had numerous celebrities attend their wedding reception: 

   • Trump attendees included Bill & Hillary Clinton, Shaquille O'Neal, Billy Joel, Simon Cowell, P. Diddy, Kathie Lee Gifford, and Heidi Klum. 

   • Hitler attendees included Reich Minister Joseph Goebbels & his wife Magda, Reichsleiter Martin Boreman, General of the Infantry Hans Krebs, Lt. Gen. Wilhelm Burgdorf, Secretary Werner Naumann, Reichsjugendführer Arthur Axmann, and Ambassador Walter Hewel.  

9. They both rigorously avoided public displays of affection or physical contact with their partners:

   • Trump's reason is unknown. 

   • Braun's reason is that Hitler wished to present himself in the image of a chaste hero; in the Nazi ideology, men were the political leaders and warriors, and women were homemakers. He believed that he was sexually attractive to women and wished to exploit this for political gain by remaining single, as he felt marriage would decrease his appeal. 

10. They both slept in separate bedrooms from their husbands: 

    • Trump and her husband slept in different suites in the White House and have separate suites at Mar-a-Lago. 

    • Braun and Hitler had two bedrooms and two bathrooms with interconnecting doors at the Berghof.

11. They both enjoyed wearing expensive clothes:

    • Trump:

      • Spent over $30,000 on her election day outfit. - New Zealand Herald, Nov  3, 2016

      • Wore a coat that costs more than most Americans earn in a year. - The List, Oct 20, 2020

    • Braun: 

      • According to Albert Speer Braun approached Hitler in "high indignation"; Hitler quietly instructed Speer, who was armaments minister at the time, to halt production of women's cosmetics and luxuries rather than instituting an outright ban. - Albert Speer, Inside the Third Reich (1971), p337. 

      • Her main interests were sports, clothes, and the cinema. - Alan Bullock, Hitler: A Study in Tyranny (1999), p395. 

      • "She spent her time swimming and skiing. While Hitler was off waging war, Braun spent her time reading cheap novels and endlessly grooming herself — sometimes changing her clothes seven times a day." - All That's Interesting, March 6, 2020

12. They were both born Catholic, but became First Lady in Protestant majority countries: 

    • Trump: Her father was in the League of Communists of Slovenia, which espoused a policy of state atheism. As was common, however, he had his daughters secretly baptized as Catholic. 

    • Braun: Was born Catholic and educated in a series of Catholic schools.

13. They were both Catholics who were married in non-Catholic ceremonies:

    • Trump was married to her husband in an Anglican service in an Episcopal church.

    • Braun was married to her husband in a civil service in the Führerbunker.  

14. They were both inconsequential First Ladies and were treated as such by their husbands:

    • Trump:  

      • Her First Lady policy initiative was named "Be Best", which was not grammatically correct, as it is missing a definite article, and should read as, "Be the Best."

        • She has made no effort to continue the initiative after she left the White House. 

      • She left the White House with the worst popularity rating for any first lady at the end of her term in polling history at 42-47% (compared to Pat Nixon's favorability rating of 83% at the height of the Watergate scandal).   

    • Braun:

      • Braun's political influence on Hitler was minimal; she was never allowed to stay in the room when business or political conversations took place and was sent out of the room when cabinet ministers or other dignitaries were present. Albert Speer, Inside the Third Reich (1971), p138-139

      • She was not a member of the Nazi Party. In his post-war memoirs, Heinrich Hoffmann (her former employer) characterized Braun's outlook as "inconsequential and feather-brained"; She led a sheltered and privileged existence and seemed uninterested in politics. Alan Bullock, Hitler: A Study in Tyranny (1999), p. 395. 

      • Speer later said, "Eva Braun will prove a great disappointment to historians." Heike Görtemaker, Eva Braun: Life With Hitler, 2010. 

15. While both very knowledgeable about fashion, they failed to pass any of this knowledge on to their husbands.

"I mean, is adultery no longer a big deal in Indiana and in America? I’d just love to know your thoughts because I for one believe that the seventh commandment² contained in the Ten Commandments is still a big deal, I maintain that other than promises that we make of fidelity in our faith, the promises that we make to our spouses and to our children, the promises that we make in churches and in synagogues and marriage ceremonies around this, it's the most important promise you'll ever make. And holding people accountable to those promises and holding people accountable to respecting the promises that other people make, I, to me, what could possibly be a bigger deal than that in this country?"

- Mike Pence³, May 23, 1997
