Former first lady Melania Trump grew up in Sevnica, Slovenia.
Trump was born in Novo Mesto, Slovenia, on April 26, 1970 — she turns 52 this month.
She then spent her childhood in Sevnica, a small town 30 miles away.
Sevnica is located along the Sava River in central Slovenia. It has a population of around 5,000.
When Trump was born, Slovenia was a communist country ruled by President Josip Tito and known as Yugoslavia.
Slovenia became independent in 1991.
Before Trump's rise to fame as a model and then FLOTUS, Sevnica was known for its furniture and clothing factories, as well as its annual salami festival.
Sevnica produces over 150 kinds of salami.
Now, Sevnica produces a salami named after the first lady.
Sevnica's tourism doubled in the year before Donald Trump took office as interest in Melania Trump grew, a tour guide told Reuters in January 2017. For 2017 as a whole, the number of foreigners visiting Slovenia jumped 17% when compared to the previous year, with a total of 3.4 million visitors, Reuters reported in January 2018.
The small town capitalized on its claim to fame as the former FLOTUS' hometown, offering tours, foods, and souvenirs named after her.
As a child, Trump — then known as Melanija Knavs — lived in this block of Communist-era apartments.
Her father, Viktor Knavs, worked as a car salesman, The New York Times reported. Her mother, Amalija, worked at a local textile factory.

I like the second pic. Pretty town when it’s snow covered.
Looks a bit like West Virginia.
And the American Enemy Media had four full years to put together a story like this, and yet...they didn’t.
I sure hope she knows how much we miss and still admire her.
Send her a note to remind her and tell her we NEED THEM BOTH in 2024!
