Ms. Trump addressed the Republican convention from the White House on Aug. 25.
“Donald will not rest until he has done all he can to take care of everyone impacted by this terrible pandemic,” she added in remarks that were softer in tone than many who spoke before her. She used the night’s keynote speech to advocate for four more years as president for her husband, give a nod to ongoing racial unrest across the country and talk about her own goals for a second term. Although she said she didn’t want to attack anyone, saying “that kind of talk only serves to divide the country further,” she joined speakers before her in criticizing the news media.
“I also ask people to stop the violence and looting being done in the name of justice and never make assumptions based on the colour of a person’s skin,” she added. She did not mention the Wisconsin shooting. Just like Trump has upended norms of the presidency, Melania Trump has altered what it means to be a modern first lady, from continuing to live in New York City in the administration’s opening months to forcing the ouster of a deputy national security adviser. Not since Nancy Reagan has any first lady asserted herself so publicly in West Wing personnel matters.
