Melania Trump is the wife of the 45th and 47th President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, and the mother to their son, Barron Trump.
She was born in Slovenia on April 26, 1970, and is the second First Lady born outside the United States. At a young age, she began what would soon become a highly successful modeling career, appearing in many high-profile ad campaigns and working with some of the best photographers in the fashion industry.
In 1996, Mrs. Trump moved to New York, and 10 years later, she proudly became a United States Citizen, making her the only First Lady to become a naturalized citizen. Mrs. Trump has always been an active member of her community. In 2005, she was the Honorary Chairwoman of the Martha Graham Dance Company. That same year, she was awarded Goodwill Ambassador by the American Red Cross—a role she served for 4 years. Mrs. Trump served 5 years as Honorary Chairwoman for the Boys’ Club of New York and was named Woman of the Year in 2006 by the Police Athletic League. In 2010, Mrs. Trump was the Chairwoman of the American Heart Association. In addition to her philanthropic work and modeling and fashion career, Mrs. Trump is an accomplished businesswoman. In 2010, she launched her own successful jewelry collection, Melania Trump Timepieces and Jewelry.
While Melania Trump became a household name, she is, first and foremost, a mother and wife, and in 2017, she made the White House and Washington home for her family.
In her role as First Lady from 2017 to 2021, Mrs. Trump focused on the many issues affecting children across the Nation. This passion led to the establishment of BE BEST in 2018; Mrs. Trump’s awareness campaign focused on the well-being of children and highlighted the people and programs dedicated to ensuring a better future for the next generation. Mrs. Trump promoted BE BEST throughout the country and internationally.
In addition to BE BEST, Mrs. Trump has a deep appreciation for the military and their families. She traveled to military bases domestically and overseas, including Iraq in 2018, and regularly incorporated military families in public engagements.
In her time away from the White House, Mrs. Trump established Fostering the Future, a BE BEST initiative, which provides college-level scholarships to those aging out of the foster care system. The scholarship funds are provided by a portion of the revenue generated from her Web 2 and Web 3 platforms on melaniatrump.com and usamemorabilia.com. Her platforms utilize blockchain technology, marking her as a pioneer within the industry while empowering the next generation of young Americans with the resources needed to excel. Mrs. Trump consistently implements innovative approaches to advance her advocacy for children and the causes she supports, demonstrating a forward-thinking commitment to making a positive impact.
In 2024, Mrs. Trump released her memoir, MELANIA, which quickly became a #1 on the New York Times best sellers list.
Nice!!
Thank you for posting.
Who is she wearing?
Melania is wearing the coolest first lady hat of all time. Reminds me of the badass Clint Eastwood hat from the Good, the Bad and the Ugly western. All she needs is the poncho and the cigarillo
I thought of Frank Nitti in 1987 Untouchables.
That hat does protect her from kissers, I noticed.
“Who is she wearing?”
Melania’s choice of attire today was perfect.
Today is her husband’s day.
He fought the swamp for it.
He fought the courts for it.
He fought bullets for it.
Melania wanted all eyes on her husband.
Great!
I thought so too. Very understated.
“In her time away from the White House, Mrs. Trump established Fostering the Future, a BE BEST initiative, which provides college-level scholarships to those aging out of the foster care system.”
I didn’t know that! Helping kids that are aging out of Foster Care is something near and dear to my heart, too!
Melania really IS all that and a bag of chips. ;)
She was totally elegant
I also noticed Trump wearing a purple “unity tie.”
Or -
The first lady, 54, wore a navy Adam Lippes tailored navy silk wool coat, a navy silk wool pencil skirt and an ivory silk crepe blouse, all designed by Lippes and handsewn in New York City.
If at all, only at home, for PDJT, in the ‘private’ portion of the White House. 《;^)
Might be Oscar de la Renta. I heard they made some gowns for the Trump ladies this weekend.
The blackened dark souls of her enemies whom her husband will soon crush into oblivia.
Gotta love how the Trumps and Vances are featured, almost like a movie trailer. Kudos to whichever IT guy had those webpages ready to load and blast!
Reminds me of an old 40s or 50s mobster outfit. Kind of badass!!!!
I thought she looked like Wyatt Earp, with that hat and all dressed in black. She could have been wearing a pair of six-guns and it wouldn’t have looked out of place. I’d hate to have to stare her down on a dark street.
She looked VERY classy today.
