In a lively Women’s History Month celebration at the White House, President Donald Trump showered praise on his wife, Melania Trump, after her documentary, Melania, made waves in the entertainment industry. The documentary, which chronicles the First Lady’s life and journey, has been a significant success, ranking as the seventh most-watched movie on Amazon Prime at the time of the event.
Trump, visibly proud of his wife, jokingly said, “I think it was number one last night. Streaming last night, was number one,” before adding with a smile, “Maybe she’s getting a little too big for the White House.” This lighthearted remark was met with laughter as Melania stood by her husband’s side, clearly pleased with the recognition.
Melania herself opened the event with an empowering speech, encouraging women to take risks and follow their instincts in order to find success. She reflected on her journey into various industries, ranging from fashion and skincare to publishing, television, and filmmaking. “This unrestricted mindset has led me to build across very different sectors,” she said, proudly listing her entrepreneurial ventures.
