Melania Trump kicks off African tour in Ghana

A relaxed-looking Trump smiled and waved as she stepped off an overnight flight from Washington to be met on the red carpet by her Ghanaian counterpart Rebecca Akufo-Addo.

She beamed as she was welcomed by a troupe of traditional drummers and dancers. "Thank you very much," she said with a smile.

The former model, whose choice of clothing is keenly watched, changed from a safari-inspired departure outfit of suede trench coat and leopard print heels to a red and white striped dress with white pumps by the time she arrived in West Africa.

She is scheduled to visit a hospital in Accra to learn about newborn health and also have tea with Mrs Akufo-Addo at the presidential residence, Jubilee House.

As expected. Melania is treated better there than by the D.C. and American media.

Melania is such a classy lady. If she were a Democrat the media would be declaring her the best First Lady ever.

It’s so refreshing to have such a lovely FLOTUS with a genuine smile.

Republican Administrations have done more for Africa than the media will ever admit. The Kenyan Administration cared less.

She seems like she has a great heart. Protective as a lioness :) but truly kind. I can see why Trump fell for her. :)

Btw, you can see by the positioning of her feet that she has a model’s walk.

Note - that was the only photo in the French article. Most of the words were one big snark against Melania and the President.

The Kenyan didn’t even care about his brother, IIRC, or other members of his family.

And yes, Republicans have stepped up to help Africa.

It was. Thats why i only posted an excerpt. But the African people are gracious and dignified...also leaning Christian and devoutly religious.

Unlike the rude behavior exhibited by the European and D.C. elites/press.
