A Farewell Message from First Lady Melania Trump

A Farewell Message from First Lady Melania Trump.

Joe Biden will take the oath of office as president in a ceremony dramatically reshaped by the coronavirus pandemic and still-simmering threats of violence in Washington, casting a pall over the quadrennial celebration of American democracy.

His swearing-in at the U.S. Capitol on Wednesday will come amid an unprecedented cordon of security, with strict physical distancing measures in place as well. A sea of 200,000 flags on the National Mall will stand in for the normally vast crowd cheering a new commander in chief.

And while Biden is using his inauguration to highlight “America United,” he faces a nation where many Republicans still reject his victory, including outgoing President Donald Trump -- who Biden’s fellow Democrats and a handful of Republicans impeached for a second time last week despite Biden’s misgivings about the message it would send as he ascended to the presidency.

Trump is refusing to attend the ceremony, the first living Oval Office occupant to skip the regularly scheduled inauguration of his successor in more than a century.

Melania to her divorce lawyers:
“Stand back and standby”

[s.c.]

I am not a Trump supporter, but found this nice. She is not her husband. If his party and lawyers could not control him, do not think she could either. This has most likely been hard on her too.

She’s the First Lady to say a farewell speech. If anybody paid attention to what she has accomplished as our First Lady is pretty blind. This First Lady has class, ambitious to help the veterans and children who she has put a smile on children. My opinion, if you don’t like it to bad...it’s called freedom of speech still...

That was a very good Speech, We need to stay positive. God Bless you all. 🙏

Unfortunately Meanlania isn't sincere about one word ..She had the best platform & wasted every minute. Chopping down Jackie Kennedys trees in the rose garden proved tht History & Respect mean absolutely nothing to her..Go Home & Be Beast..Shame on you both for separation of Parents & Children...

Many of these comments are not respectful and should be taken down per your rules. Melanie you have been classy, kind and polite. You have represented women well. Thank you!

Such a beautiful spirit that emits from her. I will miss Melania AND President Trump! I can only imagine, with sadness, how the Left, along with media, will pick apart this amazing farewell and respond with hateful comments. I pray for once they will leave her alone. It was a beautiful, heartfelt speech. Goodbye for now First Lady, you will always be in my heart too!
