The concluding time Melania Trump was in the spotlight, it did not end well. After her address at the Republican National Convention in July, information technology was discovered that several lines from Trump's speech were lifted from a Michelle Obama speech at the 2008 Democratic Convention. The plagiarism scandal led to online ridicule — her speech author accepted responsibleness saying that Trump had read passages of Obama's speech to her, which she and so wrote downwardly and included in the speech.
Since then, she has appeared abreast her husband occasionally, merely rarely spoken, even when she was the barrel of a Donald Trump joke (most his married woman'southward plagiarized voice communication) at the Al Smith charity dinner last month.
Thursday in Berwyn, Pa., a suburb of Philadelphia, at an event meant to appeal to white suburban, women voters, that changed.
Afterwards a brusk introduction from Karen Pence, wife of GOP vice presidential nominee Mike Pence, Melania Trump spent a picayune less than 15 minutes delivering prepared remarks that were every bit much an endorsement of her husband equally herself.
She detailed her upbringing in Slovenia, talked about looking up to Ronald Reagan in her youth, and pursuing a career in fashion and modeling. She ended the biographical portion of her speech communication by telling the crowd at the Main Line Sports Middle Indoor Training Facility how honored she was to become an American citizen. "It is the greatest privilege in the globe," said Trump. "I'm an immigrant. And let me tell you, no 1 values the freedom and opportunity of America more than me, both as an independent woman, and as someone who immigrated to America."
Melania Trump also spoke most the joys of motherhood and raising her child with Donald Trump, Barron. And she said that should she become first lady, she'd be an advocate for women and children. Regarding children, Trump outlined what she says will be 1 of her main causes as first lady: fighting youth bullying, in person and online.
"Our culture has gotten likewise mean and too rough, especially to children and teenagers," said Trump. "It is never O.Thousand. when a 12-yr-one-time girl or boy is mocked, bullied or attacked. It is terrible when that happens on the playground and information technology is absolutely unacceptable when it is done by someone with no proper name hiding on the Internet."
She continued, "We accept to find a better way to talk to each other, to disagree with each other, to respect each other. We must find better ways to laurels and support the basic goodness of our children, peculiarly in social media. It volition be one of the main focuses of my piece of work if I'm privileged enough to become your first lady."
Her condemnation of online bullying, especially in social media, could be seen every bit ironic, given her husband'due south especially combative persona on Twitter. But after her speech, several in the crowd said that what Trump does is different than the behavior his wife called out.
Helen Tracy from Marlton, Northward.J. said of Trump'southward Twitter history, "He's not going after kids. He's not going later on innocent people ... He's really after going subsequently people in the Democratic Political party or people who are in the media. So I think that's all fair game when yous're running for office."
Another Trump supporter in the oversupply took time to defend Donald Trump and his history with women, afterwards weeks of stories documenting allegations of sexual harassment and lewd comments from Trump. "I have said worse things about men, than Donald Turmp has said about women," said Micky DiBella. Her friend, Joanne DiGiuseppe said many have criticized Trump and his behavior unfairly. "Everybody's loftier and mighty, during this election." Merely she admitted that in spite of her and near of her friends supporting Trump, he has a problem with women voters, especially in suburbs like Berwyn. "He is having trouble," she said. "And the women effectually this surface area, are statistically non for Trump."
