Melania Trump Claims Donald Wants Women To Live Without Fear

The interview in question was part of Melania's press tour for her self-titled documentary, but the conversation took a turn in the direction of her husband's presidency. Host Maria Bartiromo asked how President Trump could act as a "unifier" for the country in this era of divisiveness.

"I gave him my advice, and we talked about that, and we could see that the country was divided, and it's very hard," Melania explained. "No matter what he says, they don't like to listen. And, you know, what's going on in our country now, I feel that there's a lot of pushback, and I hope it stops."

"I think he's doing a fantastic job," she continued. "He's had great success, and he is a unifier. He's positive-thinking, forward-thinking. He wants to put this country in order so that everybody can live here freely, not in danger."

"He would like to have a country where all of the people can walk down the street and not be harassed or murdered, or women raped," she added.

Fans React To Seeing The Three Presidents Together & Slam President Trump

In addition to the three democrats making a mark by sitting together, it was especially impactful as people realized that the current president was absent from the service. White House officials told The Post he did not attend due to "scheduling and ongoing events."

 

However, many internet users speculated that the 79-year-old did not want to go to Jackson's service, or if he did, would not get the warmest welcome from the attendees. Still, seeing Obama, Clinton, and Biden there together caused many to reminisce on their presidencies and, in return, slam the Trump administration.

 

"I miss having a president with class and respect," wrote a user on Instagram.

 

"When we say 'Happy President's Day,' this is what we mean," added another.

 

"These are real presidents," wrote a user, as another commented, "It's not about Democrat or Republican, it's about class."

 

Though he did not attend the funeral, President Trump wrote on Truth Social that the famous activist was "a good man" and "a force of nature." Still, it looks like that response was not appropriate or good enough in the eyes of many Americans.
