During her husband’s first presidential inauguration, in January 2017, Melania Trump arrived in Washington, the first lady dressed herself in blue cashmere to evoke the memory of Jacqueline Kennedy and her smile hard, sometimes, it seems to melt in the chocolate. .
It was obvious that the years had changed him.
During her husband’s first term in office, Mrs. Trump continued to maintain a physical and emotional distance from the capital, choosing to focus on raising her son, Barron, and away from the public eye.
While other family members, like Ivanka Trump, seem to have enjoyed years of smiling for the camera and posting their (and high-profile friends’) adventures on social media, Mrs. Trump and her children male then closed. On Monday, however, the returning president’s wife and his son used Monday’s inauguration to defend him in front of the public.
One of the big changes that happened before they dedicated the foot in the capital. Along with the rest of the family, Mrs. Trump indicated that she would not be more apologetic about the ethical issues that have dogged her family during President Trump’s first term. The woman who once launched her jewelry and skin care line launched her own currency, $MELANIA, hours before Mr. Trump’s inauguration. So far, neither of the Trumps has complained.
Barron Trump is considered as an advisor today: he pushed his father to join a podcast during the campaign and inspired the kind of crypto projects that his parents are involved in. Barron Trump has been named the project’s “DeFi visionary,” a reference to the branch of crypto known as decentralized finance.
Eight years ago, 11-year-old Barron Trump was seen smiling with his sister, Tiffany, when his father was sworn in at the Capitol. On Monday, Barron Trump remained by his mother’s side, but the change in her was evident.
During the ceremony, Barron Trump took the front seat, smiling and clapping next to Elon Musk, the billionaire who has become near the center of Mr. Trump’s circle of advisers. Trump. He shook hands with former President Joseph R. Biden Jr. as he left the Rotunda Square. He was also photographed at a congressional luncheon, talking to Senators Tom Cotton of Arkansas and Pete Hegseth, whom his father nominated as secretary of defense.
On the other hand, Mrs. Trump left behind some of the good things she held onto as first lady in 2017. She didn’t come to the White House with gifts for her predecessor, Jill Biden, as he did for Michelle Obama, who refused the inauguration this year. He and Dr. Biden greeted each other warmly, ignoring some of the insults of past inaugurations. (The Trumps did not attend Mr. Biden’s party.)
For Mrs. Trump, the latest change in 2017 is visible, but no less significant.
Wearing a double-breasted navy coat and wide-brimmed hat, Mrs Trump now seemed less interested in imitating the first lady who walked before her than she was in her ode to eight-year-old Mrs Kennedy. ago.
This time he returned to one of his eye-catching series: He wore a wide hat during the French state visit in 2018. it was the talk of the town as long as it was there. protecting most of their face from sunlight.
Mrs Trump, a former model, asked people to focus on what she was doing rather than what she was wearing, but subtly invited her observers to wear both. (On Monday, his navy hat seemed to have the added effect of physically distancing himself from his wife, who reached in for a peck on the cheek but was blocked by her big lips.)
Mrs. Trump pointed out that Americans – or Washingtonians, at least – will see her more than last time, because she plans to spend more time in Washington from the beginning. Mrs. Trump delayed moving to Washington during her first term to make sure her son was safe and sound.
Last week, he told Fox News that he would be in Washington regularly, with plans to spend time in New York and at the family home in Palm Beach, Fla. Mrs. Trump said she would continue Be Best, the child-focused initiative she started during Trump’s first term.
