Trump's glamorous right hand woman gives behind-the-scenes access to her life with president
Donald Trump 's glamorous aide, Margo Martin, gave an inside look at her busy life with the president in a new Instagram post. Martin, 29, has been a longtime aide to the president and serves as his Special Assistant and Communications Advisor. She was propelled into the spotlight when a reporter mistook her for Melania Trump at one of the president's Miami court hearings in 2023 and has been a staple in the president's entourage since he started his second term. Martin detailed her jam-packed schedule working for the president in a new video posted on Sunday. 'DAY IN THE LIFE! 5.30am-1.30am in 50 seconds,' she captioned the video that's paired with the song 'Walking on a Dream' by electronic duo Empire of the Sun. 'Thursday, July 3rd, President Trump met with Edan Alexander, American citizen held hostage by Hamas for 584 days. Welcomed the Boston Red Sox to the Oval Office. Traveled to Des Moines, Iowa to kick off a yearlong celebration of America's 250th anniversary.' Martin started the day with a workout at the gym, wearing a black tank top and leggings paired with yellow trainers and her long blonde hair pulled back by a claw clip. She appeared to be drinking from a LIFEWTR Premium Purified Water Bottle, which sells for approximately $2.50, as she walked on the treadmill with her AirPods in. After the gym, Martin prepared herself a cup of coffee in her red Camp David mug using a white single-serve Keurig machine. She did her morning skincare while wearing an orange lobster and bows printed pajama set that retails for $86 on In My Sundays. Martin applied the Dior Backstage Blush to her cheeks, which cost $42 at Sephora and Ulta Beauty. She gave her hair some soft waves using a curling iron, then changed into a dress with a blue top and denim skirt before heading to the White House. The glamourous aide showed viewers around her office, including her desk and giant tumbler cup with the presidential seal. A framed copy Trump's mugshot on the front page of the New York Post was also on display.
