From US to Across the World, Melania Trump Soared as First Lady in 2018 — Check Out Her Best Moments
UR Red ^ | 12/29/2018 | Madison Summers

The U.S. first lady displayed what it means to be an American in 2018, as she intentionally met with so many people, made her first solo trip overseas, and shared what her initiative meant to her — as well as making history along the way.

Let’s take a look at the best moments of first lady Melania Trump over this past year.

During President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address in January, Melania wowed people as she entered the room to a standing ovation.

She sat down next to a 12-year-old boy who was then honored in the president’s speech for starting a movement of placing 40,000 flags on the graves of the “great heroes” for Veterans Day.

When former first lady Barbara Bush passed away on April 17, 2018, Melania brought two special guests to honor Bush’s devotion to the White House staff.

The two guests, former White House head maitre d’ George Hannie and White House usher Buddy Carter, “were very close to the Bush family,” and Melania “wanted them to be able to pay their respects.”

Carter worked at the Blair House for 15 years and then began working at the White House as a butler during former President George H.W. Bush’s administration. Hannie worked at the White House for 46 years.

The first lady made a surprise visit to spend time with wounded American service members a day before the Fourth of July.

“Thank you to the many dedicated service members & medical staff who take such good care of our men & women in uniform,” she tweeted about her visit.

Nice column. Meanwhile, the MSM can do nothing but snipe and mock her accent.

A couple idiots at my July 4th picnic tried that and shut up when I told them she speaks five languages, and their only apparent linguistic skills consist of pidgin dumbass.

I will never disrespect any female. But that said, I think our current first lady projects both honest love of country AND world class glamour and sophistication. And unlike Jackie, she had to develop it herself, she came from little, and far away, not a child of privilege, and yet carries herself so gracefully.

Too bad that the pictures at the site are Getty. Worth taking a look, though.

From Day 1 she has been ripped in the media for so many ridiculous items of media drivel. She has shown class out loud every time she has appeared anywhere in the world.

Happy New Year to you!

I’m so thrilled to see a positive article about Melania. Good God, I can’t believe the media still gives her no credit and looks for any reason to mock her.

A pox on all their houses! :)

She may not know it, but our Melania has a natural healing touch. Love just flows through her.
