Fascinating details

Born in Novo Mesto, Yugoslavia (now in Slovenia), Melania Trump is the second first lady to be born outside of the United States, Louisa Adams being the first.
Her modeling career took her to New York City where she met Donald Trump at a fashion industry event.
Melania became a U.S. citizen in 2006, the same year she gave birth to her first child Barron William Trump.
She infrequently made appearances as ‘first lady’ since she was not fully confident in her knowledge of U.S. history, politics, and procedure.
Pioneered the “Be Best” campaign aimed at promoting children’s well-being and denouncing bullying, especially online.
Broke tradition by not hosting a “tea and tour” with incoming First Lady Jill Biden.
