Donald Trump’s victory in the U.S. presidential election has been followed closely in Sevnica, a town nestled in a valley by the Sava river where Melania Trump grew up under Communism as Melanija Knavs.
“We are very proud that Mrs. Melanija has become the first lady again, that she will perform her role with honor and dignity, just like in the previous mandate,” Sevnica mayor Srecko Cvirk said.
Sevnica previously — and proudly — advertised itself as Melania Trump’s hometown, so much so that a local party shop created a cake in her name eight years ago.
The “Melanija” is made of green nuts, caramel, almond cream and white chocolate mousse.
“It is white because of the White House,” said the shop’s manager, Franja Kranjc.
