Slovenian-born Melania Trump speaks out to DEFEND husband Donald's immigration policies as she poses in their penthouse apartment for Harper's Bazaar shoot

She said she doesn't have a problem with Donald's stance against Muslim and Mexican immigrants - because she came to the country legally.

The former model obtained a work visa and had the resources to fly back and forth to Slovenia to get it stamped before becoming a citizen.

She adds that she isn't a 'nagging wife' but says she doesn't hesitate to tell her husband when she disagrees with him.

Melania also said she has a good relationship with her step-children because she acts as a friend, not as a mother.

Melania Trump, 49, opens up about her husband, presidential candidate Donald Trump, her step-kids, and her modeling career in the interview.

Melania posed with an inflatable elephant - perhaps a nod to the Republican symbol - for the photo feature in Harper's Bazaar.

Donald, 69, married Melania in 2005 and recently gave her a stunning 25-carat ring for their tenth anniversary.

Melania said it was her choice not to speak out much on the campaign trail; she said that's her husband's job.

She also said she shares her opinions - which sometimes differ from her husband's - with Donald all the time.

The interview and shoot were both held in the couple's luxurious three-floor penthouse apartment.

Their apartment in Trump Tower features ornate hand-painted ceilings and a marble fountain.

Though Trump, pictured in 2001, often criticizes Hillary Clinton in the news these days, he still keeps a picture he took with her in his home.

Melania said she doesn't have a problem with Trump's anti-immigration stance, even though she immigrated from Solvenia in 1996.

She came to the US to work as a model and said she had to go back to Europe several times to get her visa stamped.

Melania met Donald at a Fashion Week party and refused to give him her number when he asked. The couple is pictured together in 1998.

Melania went on to pose for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition in 2000 (pictured) while she and Donald were dating.

The former model insists she gets along with her step-kids because she offers herself as a friend, not a mother figure.

Melania has been preparing their son Barron for a possible future in which his father is President.

The former model said she's not a 'nagging wife', but she's not a 'yes' person who agrees with everything, either.
