In a surprise move, former first lady Melania Trump made a rare appearance at a New York City rally on Sunday, introducing her husband, Donald Trump, at Madison Square Garden. Although not listed among the expected speakers, she took the stage and addressed the crowd, speaking for under five minutes. Her message focused on the country’s “decline in quality of life,” with a call to action.
A Vision for America’s Future
“Let us charge together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let’s seize this moment and create a country for tomorrow — the future that we deserve,” Melania declared, rallying the crowd to embrace her husband’s platform. She ended her brief speech by welcoming the former president on stage with a warm embrace.
Melania’s Low-Profile Campaign Presence
This rally marked Melania’s first campaign event in the current cycle, as the former first lady has largely kept a low profile. She made an appearance at the Republican National Convention in July, but did not speak. However, she’s quietly supported causes close to her heart, hosting two fundraisers for the Log Cabin Republicans, an LGBTQ organization, with events in Florida and New York City.
Her Memoirs make it to the Top of NYT Bestseller List
Just when it seemed nothing from the Trump family could surprise the public anymore, Melania Trump has done it: her memoir, simply titled Melania, just debuted at the No. 1 spot on The New York Times best-seller list. The former first lady’s book is officially the top-selling hardcover nonfiction of the week, surprising both fans and critics alike.
Melania’s memoir didn’t just make a splash—it made waves by surpassing fellow memoir heavyweights Lisa Marie Presley and Riley Keough. Even Ina Garten’s Be Ready When the Luck Happens, praised as “fireside chatty and conversational,” couldn’t take down the former first lady’s unexpected bestseller.
Earlier this month, Melania stirred attention with this memoir, where she voiced support for abortion access and women’s rights to make personal decisions “based on their own convictions.”
