While First Lady Melania Trump may want to visit "a desert island" for the holidays, her popularity may be inspiring others to flock to her native country, Slovenia.

Slovenia reported a 9 percent hike in tourism revenue this year, Reuters reported, with a 23.4 percent increase in tourists from the United States. The first lady was even more popular among Americans than her husband, President Donald Trump, according to a December Gallup poll.

Tourists may be exploring the central European country but Melania Trump would rather escape on a tropical vacation. On December 8, she paid a visit to the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., where she told a 10-year-old boy, "I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, tropical island, with my family."

Well, it’s been 54 years since we’ve had a hottie in the White House.

I beg your pardon. I consider myself of her same class and I was born in Wisconsin.

I would strongly suggest that you move——no walls preventing that.

Oops! I just did get the countries confused.
I almost never think about either one until now.
I can certainly understand the First Lady’s desire for solitude. I would think that being a First American Family is as or more demanding than being a member of the Royal Family in England. Not everyone is meant to live that way and find a way to be happy about it. I know I’m not.

I like her and think she is an awesome First Lady. That said you can’t google my wife in the nude.
