Melania Trump has proudly signed off from her first foreign trip as first lady before walking to Air Force One hand-in-hand with the president.

In a rare speech for Mrs Trump, the first lady addressed US military personnel at a naval base in Italy on Saturday afternoon ahead of the trip back to Washington with Donald Trump.

The first lady, dressed in a black custom-made Dolce & Gabbana dress with button-embellishments, said she would never forget the women and children she met during her nine days on the road in Europe and the Middle East.

“I would really like to ask some of those military guys how different it is to be around and/or protect this first family.”

I bet the Secret Service loves the Trumps. It’s no secret that the Secret Service DESPISES the Clintons.

I always enjoy reading the Daily Mail articles on the Trumps and scrolling thru the photos.

There you go media, POTUS and FLOTUS have a sweet kiss.

They truly are the drive-bys with fake news.

Wow, great first trip.

Thank you for letting me know RIV.

They don't even look tired.

DG dressed her for the entire event and they’ve made a killing!

I don't mean to annoy, but I am detail oriented. Melania wore D&G for the Italy part of the trip, certainly, and an outfit here and there by them in other countries. She wore an outfit by a Belgian designer while in Belgium. She wore outfits by Stella McCartney and Reem Acra in Saudi Arabia. The gingham suit and matching shoes outfit was by Michael Kors, IIRC.

"The gingham suit and matching shoes outfit was by Michael Kors, IIRC."

I didn't remember correctly. The Michael Kors suit was the white suit she wore in Israel. The gingham outfit was another D&G design.
