United States First Lady Melania Trump is not really known for regularly frequenting fundraisers compared to her husband and the rest of his family. However, this time, for Donald’s reelection campaign, she will be hosting these events herself.
Politicalflare reports that the First Lady is going to host two fundraisers for Donald’s 2020 reelection campaign. The fundraisers will take place on the 18th of March and the 25th of March, at the Mar-a-Lago resort and Beverly Hills respectively. The money collected from both fundraisers will be going into Trump Victory, which is a joint fundraising account for the Trump 2020 campaign as well as the Republican National Committee.
This would be the first time again since 2018 that Melania is hands-on when it comes to political fundraising. The reelection campaign for Trump has already made progress with many donations made by supporters. Just at the beginning of 2020 alone, Trump made over $107 million in cash on hand, and the donations do not seem to stop anytime soon.
In the meantime, she recently spent the weekend with the family in Florida, throwing a watch party for the recent Super Bowl at the Trump International Golf Club. Footage from the party showed an awkward moment for the First Lady, who may have experienced some secondhand embarrassment due to her husband. As the national anthem was played, she and her son Barron Trump had their hands over their hearts, but Donald had both his hands in the air, pretending to be conducting the music. Donald continued fidgeting while Melania ignored him.
In 2018, he criticized the NFL players who chose to kneel when the national anthem played. He told Fox & Friends that they should be standing for the national anthem or they should not be playing. “You shouldn’t be there. Maybe you shouldn’t be in the country,” said the President.
But he recently came under fire on social media due to his congratulatory message to the Kansas City Chiefs, who became the Super Bowl winners. He failed to tweet the correct state of which the team was from, which was in Missouri, but instead mentioned Kansas.
