“I grew up in a beautiful country.” In Washington, Melania Trump speaks about her past in a rare official form.

During her husband’s political meetings, her chair remains hopelessly empty. Recently, Melania Trump has been really stingy with public speaking. Therefore, the former first lady made a surprise appearance this Friday, December 15, at a naturalization ceremony for 25 immigrants at the National Archives headquarters in Washington, D.C.

“I grew up in a beautiful country”

On the one hand, her husband, Donald Trump, is accused of not handing over some classified documents from his presidency to this institution, despite what the law requires. On the other hand, Melania Trump’s lively plea was not entirely consistent with her husband’s speech, which was more inclined to reduce immigration to the United States. He did not talk about possible news of the latter’s presidential campaign. But exFirst Lady stated that becoming an American citizen marked the “coming of new certainties” for him, before stating that they should be “proud” of it.

Having arrived in the United States in 1996 and then naturalized a decade later, Melania Trump spoke about her journey during her speech. “The road to citizenship is hard,” he continued. I was born and raised in the beautiful country of Slovenia, where my parents taught me the importance of developing a strong work ethic and following my dreams.”

LISTEN TO SCANDALS

from “paperwork”

Before proceeding. “The values ​​they instilled in me from a very young age fascinated me and moved me to Paris and Milan (…) It wasn’t until I moved to New York in 1996 that the system really tested my resolve. My life turned into paperwork. Patience and perseverance have become my constant companions.”

He emphasized that becoming a citizen forever removed “the burden of knowing if he can live in the United States.” “I hope you feel that same sense of comfort right now,” he said. And the former first lady concluded by addressing the 25 migrants. Be proud of yourself. Be patient and use the opportunities that await you. You are Americans.’
