Trump, Melania take the stage to massive ovation for Commander in Chief ball, share dance as they celebrate inauguration
NY Post ^ | 1/20/25 | Ryan King, Victor Nava

President Trump entered the Commander-in-Chief ball with first lady Melania Trump to a thunderous ovation as the inaugural events continued late into the night on Monday.

The 54-year-old first lady dazzled the crowd as she walked out in a striking black-and-white strapless gown, white high-heeled shoes and black choker with an elegant broach resembling a floral bouquet affixed to it.

The dress was reportedly designed by Hervé Pierre, the same couturier behind Melania’s 2017 Inauguration ball dress.

Trump, wearing a black tuxedo and bow tie, promptly began dancing with his wife at the event aimed at military service members.

The first couple was later joined on stage by Vice President JD Vance and second lady Usha Vance, as well as members of the nation’s armed forces, with whom they took time to waltz with as well.

“I’ve had no higher privilege in life than to serve as your commander in chief, not once but twice,” Trump told the cheering crowd.

The ball featured a video call with US service members stationed in South Korea.

FTA: ...black choker with an elegant broach....

^^^^

It’s a brooch; “broach” is a verb and has a meaning not at all related. The two words are pronounced alike, so I suppose that was good enough for this moronic writer. 🙄

Compare that to the frumpy, poorly dressed Kamala Harris:

Or the Fetterman who chose to dress in inappropriate gym clothes for the inauguration.

The music selection for dancing was downright awkward.

Whatever happened in the Carrie Underwood SNAFU?

Bezo’s girlfriend dressed like the trash that she is. I don’t know what is wrong with Fetterman, what gives?

I have never seen Melania look so gorgeous! And smile so much! Through all hell the stinking Democrats put the Trumps through, Donald and Melania have become closer. The Trump family strengthens one another.

I am proud to be a Trump supporter and believe me, I have taken some abuse from family and female attorney friends, who all assume all female lawyers are Democrats. Wrong! Some of us have common sense. Some of us did not buy into the Covid “vaccine.” Some of us do not believe the Constitution is to be ignored. Some of us believe in laws not men.

And with the Internet, how difficult is it to look up a word? Lazy.
