Donald Trump Shares a Sweet Video Montage of His Wife, Melania
The billionaire politician used his Truth Social platform yesterday to share a heartbreaking video of his wife after they were both mocked on social media.
Trump seems to have posted it as a way to shut up the haters and prove that they still love each other very much.
The video begins with Trump calling Melania an “amazing mother” and an “amazing woman.” It then shows clips of their time as the nation’s first citizens and also some footage of their wedding.
The 1987 song “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship can be heard playing in the background throughout the video.

Melania’s video came after social media users mocked the couple on Saturday after a fundraising campaign with major donors at the Palm Beach home of billionaire investor John Paulson.
As he arrived at the event with Melania, Trump told reporters it was “an incredible evening before it even started” because people wanted to “contribute to the cause of making America great again.”
“We’re going to make America great again; everyone knows it,” he added.
However, videos and photos of Melania outside the event led netizens to believe she did not want to attend, having missed several recent Trump events.

“Melania, who hasn’t been seen in public in months, doesn’t seem too happy about someone getting ready to be First Lady again–a job we know she admires…” wrote reporter Victoria Brownworth at X ( formerly Twitter).
Ron Filipkowski, a lawyer and editor-in-chief of the liberal newspaper Meidas Touch, wrote: “Melania looks like she’s in a hostage video tonight. Blink twice if you need help.”
One fan noted that Melania looked like “she dreads every minute she spends with Donald Trump.”

Trump’s campaign team announced that the private event, held in Palm Beach and hosted by billionaire John Paulson, raised more than $50 million in donations.

They added, “It’s clearer than ever that we have the message, the operations, and the money to propel President Trump to victory on November 5.”
That amount is nearly double the $26 million President Joe Biden’s campaign said it raised at an event with former Presidents Bill Clinton and Barack Obama at New York’s Radio City Music Hall.

Trump’s fundraising of more than $50 million comes after he posted a $175 million bond in his civil fraud case in New York City.
The former president was found guilty of inflating his net worth to obtain more lucrative business loans in a civil fraud case brought against him and the Trump organization by New York Attorney General Letitia James.
The penalty accrued to more than $454 million with interest as he faces a deadline to pay the amount or risk forfeiture of his assets. According to reports, Trump is having difficulty paying the huge bond, as more than 30 guarantor entities rejected his request for protection.
