President Donald Trump signed into law the Take it Down Act, increasing consequences on people who post revenge porn and requiring social media websites to take it down within 48 hours. The law also treats artificial intelligence generated revenge porn the same as real photos under the law. First Lady Melania Trump urged Congress to pass the law, part of her “Be Best” initiative. The U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate passed the Take it Down Act, nearly unanimously. “Thank you all for coming together to prioritize people over politics,” First Lady Melania Trump said. President Trump cheered the...

President Trump let his wife Melania co-sign legislation Monday to outlaw artificial intelligence-generated porn with real people’s faces — moments after claiming that Russian president Vladimir Putin had gushed about the first lady during a high-stakes phone call about the Ukraine war. The Take It Down Act, which spurred the first lady to make a rare trip to Capitol Hill to lobby lawmakers earlier this year, criminalizes the distribution of non-consensual intimate imagery — including “revenge porn” that features real images and artificial intelligence-generated photos and videos. After Trump, 78, signed the legislation, he passed the bill and a pen...

A bronze statue of First Lady Melania Trump has apparently disappeared from her hometown of Sevnica, Slovenia. Local media said the statue was sawed off at the ankles and carried away from the area, the Associated Press (AP) reported on Friday, noting police are investigating and trying to find those responsible. “The original wooden statue was torched in July 2020. The rustic figure was cut from the trunk of a linden tree, showing her in a pale blue dress like the one she wore at Trump’s presidential inauguration in 2017. The replica bronze statue has no obvious resemblance with the...

The most prominent living member of the Bush family will not be on hand when first lady Melania Trump holds an event announcing a new Barbara Bush commemorative stamp. Former President George W. Bush is not expected to attend the event. Nor is former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush expected. Instead, Doro Bush Koch, the daughter of President George H.W. Bush and First Lady Barbara Bush will be there, according to an announcement by the office of the first lady. A spokesman for the former president didn't respond to inquiries,...

Melania Trump is a world-class snubber. She skipped almost every event of Donald Trump’s 2024 campaign, only returning to regular political spouse duties late last year, as she had a memoir to plug and a lucrative documentary project to film. Despite suggesting she would be a full-time First Lady in Trump’s second term, she has gone unseen for weeks at a time and even skipped her stepdaughter Tiffany’s baby shower (a People source explained, savagely, that Melania “has her own schedule, even on weekends” and didn’t see “any reason” to attend). Now Melania is getting a small taste of her...

86-year-old Democratic Congresswoman Maxine Waters recently commented on President Donald Trump's action on illegal immigrants and said Trump should first look at Melania's records. "We don't know whether or not her parents were documented. And maybe we better just take a look," water said at a rally at the weekend in Los Angeles. “If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania," Maxine said. “When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows...

In yet another attack on President Donald Trump, some Democrats have targeted his immigration policies by calling for the deportation of his wife, Melania Trump. This outrageous and politically driven statement not only defies common sense but also reveals the left’s obsession with politicizing every aspect of Trump’s life, no matter how absurd. Although Melania Trump is a naturalized American citizen who followed the legal immigration process, left-wing critics are now exploiting her status to advance their anti-Trump, anti-immigrant agenda. These calls for her deportation serve no real purpose other than to further the left’s desperate attempts to undermine Trump’s...

Democratic California Rep. Maxine Waters suggested President Donald Trump should investigate and potentially deport first lady Melania Trump during an anti-DOGE protest in Los Angeles over the weekend. “When he [Trump] talks about birthright, and he’s going to undo the fact that the Constitution allows those who are born here, even if the parents are undocumented, they have a right to stay in America. If he wants to start looking so closely to find those who were born here and their parents were undocumented, maybe he ought to first look at Melania,” Waters was seen saying from the stage of...

This Ash Wednesday, we join in prayer with the tens of millions of American Catholics and other Christians beginning the holy season of Lent—a time of spiritual anticipation of the passion, death, and Resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. During the Lenten season, Christians spend 40 days and 40 nights praying, fasting, and giving alms to deepen our faith and strengthen our belief in the Gospel. Today, followers of Christ wear crosses of ash on their foreheads—a sacred reminder of our mortality and our enduring need for Christ’s infinite mercy and redeeming love. As we solemnly contemplate Jesus...

First lady Melania Trump made a rare public appearance on Capitol Hill on Monday to push a bipartisan bill aimed at combatting revenge porn and deepfake sex images. The former supermodel spoke about the horrors of artificial-intelligence-powered deepfake pornographic images that have swirled online and called out Democrats for not being more publicly supportive of the proposed Take It Down Act. “It’s heartbreaking to witness some teens, especially girls, grappling with the overwhelming challenges posed by malicious online content,” the first lady, 54, said during the panel session with lawmakers. “I was heartened to learn that [GOP] Senator [Ted] Cruz...

Former First Lady Melania Trump recalls her first encounter with now-husband Donald Trump in her recent memoir, Melania, which hit the shelves on October 8. According to Melania, she first met Donald at a Fashion Week party in 1998, where she was attending with a friend. At the time, Donald was accompanied by another “attractive blonde” woman. “I saw my friend wave at someone behind me. When I turned around, I noticed a man and an attractive blonde woman approaching us,” she wrote. When Donald approached her table, Melania recalled how he introduced himself, saying, “‘Hi. I’m Donald Trump,’” to...

Friends of Melania Trump have their claws out for Anna Wintour’s “Condé Nasty,” they say, after Vogue dissed the first lady with a scathing fashion op-ed. Bill White — a friend of Melania, as well as Donald Trump’s nominee for US Ambassador to Belgium — said of the first lady, “We love and adore her. We have cancelled all our subscriptions to Condé NASTY. I encourage everyone who loves America to do the same.” Condé Nast’s fashion bible, Vogue, sneered of Trump’s official White House pic, “Trump looked more like she was guest starring on an episode of ‘The Apprentice’...

Why do we Have Trump as President Today? I think it is due to one person, His Wife Melania Trump. And that Hat she wore at the recent inauguration tells the whole story, in my mind.

The couple tied the knot in 2005 at the Episcopal Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea, then celebrated with a reception at Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Fla. The nuptials were attended by 350 guests.
