As the event unfolded, the president shared a tender moment with his wife, expressing deep appreciation for her role as a mother.
Turning over the lectern to her, President Trump gushed about Melania’s parenting skills, particularly her influence on their son, Barron.
“I especially want to thank one of the best moms that I know, that I’ve ever seen. Sometimes she’s almost too good,” Trump gushed at the East Room gathering.
“She is so good with [son] Barron, but he’s grown up strong and nice, and he’s a good boy. He’s a good student. So I want to thank you. You’ve done a great job. Thank you — great first lady.”
The president went on to describe Melania as “loved by all,” emphasizing her widespread admiration.
He introduced her as a very special woman, underscoring the affection he has for her both personally and publicly.
Melania’s White House contributions symbolize strength and dedication.
Melania Trump also received recognition for her role in restoring and revitalizing the White House during her first term.
One of her most notable contributions was redesigning the White House Rose Garden.
The project received mixed reactions but was ultimately hailed as a success.
“I just walked by the Rose Garden, and that is the most beautiful thing. We saw it yesterday,” Trump remarked, speaking with pride about his wife’s work.
“You know, she took a lot of heat. She did it — it was so gorgeous, and they couldn’t, these people couldn’t do that if they tried.
And those flowers were blooming… But you did some job. Thank you very much, honey. Come on up.”
This statement reinforced Melania’s key role in shaping the White House’s public image through her aesthetic vision.
The Rose Garden project, initially controversial, is now viewed as a notable achievement during her tenure as first lady.
In her remarks, Melania Trump spoke directly to the audience of military mothers and fellow women, offering words of encouragement and empowerment.
“By caring for ourselves, we empower the next generation to thrive,” Melania said.
Balancing White House duties with family time.
The White House event celebrated Melania Trump’s contributions and role as a mother.
However, it followed a New York Times article revealing she had spent fewer than 14 days at the White House during the first 108 days of her husband’s second term.
During weekends, the first couple is known to frequent one of Trump’s personal properties, such as Mar-a-Lago in Florida or Trump National Golf Club in New Jersey.
Melania, in particular, is said to prefer spending time at Trump Tower in New York City, which has sparked some curiosity about her level of involvement in White House events.
Despite the reports, Melania remains a supportive and influential figure, both in her family and as first lady.
