Melania Trump honors lives lost at Camp Mystic: We are here to 'support, help'

Fox News' Chanley Painter provides details on President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump's trip to Kerrville, Texas, as officials continue recovery efforts.

Actress Malin Ackerman said in an interview last week that her new Netflix show "The Hunting Wives" used first lady Melania Trump as a main reference point for her role where she plays a manipulative, affair-having politician’s wife.

During an interview with pop culture outlet Vulture, the actress claimed the creative team behind Netflix’s pulpy show told her to think of Trump when playing Texas housewife, Margo, whose character is the wife of a rich wannabe politician and has a sordid past that includes murder, adultery and abortion.

"During filming, she says, the series’ creative team described Margo as a bit like Melania Trump, someone who ‘came into a marriage to this rich man as one woman,’ then finds the expectations for her have shifted once he becomes politically ambitious," the outlet stated.

"That was the only reference, really," Ackerman added.

Her character's background comes to light during the show and includes a poor upbringing, sex work, and a series of affairs.

"But once her husband, Jed (Dermot Mulroney), decides to run for governor on a pro-gun, anti-abortion, happy-marriage platform, Margo realizes the increased public scrutiny could threaten everything she has built for herself, exposing elements of her life Jed’s voters won’t like," Vulture stated.

Among the things she's hiding are "the abortion she just had after her boyfriend, a high-school student, got her pregnant; the murder she committed to cover up that fling; and the affair she’s currently having with new-to-town Sophie (Brittany Snow)."

Ackerman mentioned that in addition to Trump, she tried to emulate her impression of "high society" types in her portrayal, a set of people she doesn’t see as too genuine.

"Other than that, it’s just high society. I’ve mingled with aristocrats and high-society people and seen the games that go into it. For lack of a better word, I wouldn’t say ‘authenticity’ is how those people lead," she told Vulture.

The actress noted Margo’s character is a "survivor" who acts out of necessity in everything she does to get ahead.
