President Donald Trump recently expressed his gratitude and admiration for his wife Melania, thanking her for standing by his side during his inauguration, despite the discomfort of extreme cold and windy weather. Trump’s remarks, filled with humor, highlighted Melania’s perseverance throughout the challenging day.
Speaking to the crowd at Emancipation Hall, Trump joked about his wife’s discomfort after spending the day in high heels, a light-hearted tribute to Melania’s unwavering support. “I have a first lady who has been incredible. I shouldn’t say this, I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are absolutely aching. You know, those heels,” he said, referring to the four-inch heels Melania wore for the occasion.
Trump shared a funny moment from earlier in the day when Melania asked how far they would need to walk. “Darling, I love you, but my feet are killing me,” she reportedly said. Trump humorously replied, “Oh, not far—just four or five hundred yards,” to which Melania responded, “That’s five football fields.”
As they made their way towards the helicopter, Trump also poked fun at the strong winds that nearly blew Melania’s hat away. “The wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat that she’s wearing, she almost blew away,” Trump quipped. “She was being elevated off the ground.”
His playful comments brought smiles to those in attendance, demonstrating his light-hearted approach to the challenges of the day. Despite the cold and the discomfort, Melania stood by her husband’s side, showing her resilience as First Lady.
The moment encapsulated the couple’s dynamic, with Trump’s jokes lightening the mood while also acknowledging Melania’s support throughout the historic event.
