First lady Melania Trump continued a nearly 70-year-long tradition Friday when she made her annual visit to Children’s National Hospital where she met with patients, their families and nursing staff before reading them a children’s book.
She is the latest in a long line of first ladies to visit the Washington, D.C. hospital, starting with Elizabeth "Bess" Truman, the wife of former President Harry Truman, over 60 years ago. Other first ladies who have participated in the tradition are: Jacqueline Kennedy, Eleanor Roosevelt and more recently, Michelle Obama.
During her visit, Trump stopped in a play room to visit with the young patients and participate in an art project centered on the upcoming Christmas holiday.
She spent extra time crafting with three children in particular: 8-year-old Brooke Hilton, 7-year-old Nathalia Vasseur Hoffman and 8-year-old Dwayne Salmon, to whom she offered words of advice and encouragement.
"Hi sweetheart, how are you feeling?” Trump asked Hilton. She continued to make small talk, asking the children when she walked in if they were ”Feeling strong?”
The first lady then went on to ask if they had written to Santa yet.
“He’s so busy right now,” Trump said of Santa Claus. “You should write him this weekend.”
The children spent time reading quotes to her from Dr. Suess’ "Oh, the places you’ll go!"
After spending some time making paper snowflakes, the first lady and the children made their way to the main stage to join the crowd and commence the book reading.
This year, Trump read "Oliver the Ornament Meets Belle," the sequel to "Oliver the Ornament," which she read last year.

Beautiful!!
That Santa looks like he time traveled from the ‘40s!
Stunning as usual! Folks don’t forget to send the Trump’s a Christmas card!! Thank him for stand up for us!! On another note, I’m shocked ABC wrote this!
It must be rough to try and do something good for people when there is the real possibility of some left-wing nutjob taking offense and making a public spectacle of it.
Uh-oh! A black sweater and a turquoise skirt, the media will crucify her! (Not sarcasm...)
If Buttplug gets Elected, his Husband can dress in Drag and read to the Kids like they do in our Libraries nowadays..
It does not matter what she wears she will never surpass the standard set by Michelle Obama or the Wookie. Or are they the same thing?
Hawt
Hate media will trash her in 3,2,1...
She is so lovely.
Yep, I know it’s not sarcasm.
As lovely and gracious as Melania is, the haters will find something to criticize. Maybe they’ll make fun of her accent again. Or, she doesn’t have “toned arms”. Sheesh!
You can just see how much she enjoys this kind of stuff!
We are so BLESSED to have her!
I sent her a Get Well card when she had her surgery, and she sent me a thank you note, back! So gracious. I have such a Girl Crush on her. :)

She could come and read the phone book to me and I’d love every utterance!
Next up, trashing her for NOT wearing a coat.
“Uh-oh! A black sweater and a turquoise skirt, the media will crucify her! (Not sarcasm...)”
If the mooch wore that skirt there would be a bulge in the groin area.
“First lady Melania Trump continued a nearly 70-year-long tradition Friday”
She’s looking good for nearly 70!
Thanks for posting and for the pics!
