During this third presidential race, Donald Trump's wife remained discreet, protecting herself from camera flashes and her husband's detractors in her Mar-a-Lago villa or her Trump penthouse Tower. Melania Trump, on the other hand, did not hesitate to speak this Sunday, October 27 in the evening, to introduce the Republican candidate's meeting at Madison Square Garden, in New York.
Dressed in a zebra print dress, the former First Lady made a surprise and notable appearance on stage, displaying unwavering support for Donald Trump, during a 4-minute speech. For this very first speech of this campaign, Melania Trump praised New York City, “the industrial center par excellence where the leaders of finance, fashion and entertainment come together” while deploring “the declining quality of life and economic instability that affect businesses and the American spirit,” and this, while the city is currently led by a Democrat, Eric Adams.

“New York City and America need to rediscover their magic,” she continued, saying her husband will be the “next commander in chief” who will bring greatness back to the United States. A speech concluded with a declaration of love to her husband, who joined her on stage, hugging her before kissing her on the cheek.

A controversial meeting
Between racism, fake news and offensive remarks, the rest of Donald Trump's meeting sparked a number of controversies, but the former president was delighted with his evening leaving Madison Square Garden with his famous dance steps to the cult title of Village People, YMCA, in front of Melania Trump's gaze.
Very withdrawn from this presidential campaign, Melania Trump only participated in a few receptions during which she was paid to praise her husband's record and the former First Lady broke with tradition by not speaking during the Republican convention. She nevertheless orchestrated a major communication campaign around the release of her memoirs (“Melania”), a book largely favorable to her husband.
According to the latest data from RealClearPolitics, Donald Trump took the lead in the polls, showing 48.5% voting intention against 48.4% for Kamala Harris. A real last minute turnaround, while the Democrat had been in the lead since the announcement of her candidacy. The suspense is at its height 8 days before the American presidential election.
