Melania Trump speaks for the first time about the storm on the US Capitol and says goodbye as the US First Lady.
Melania Trump (50) first commented on the storm on the US Capitol. In a statement, the First Lady of the USA said she was "disappointed and discouraged" after the events and expressed her condolences to the relatives of the dead. She condemned both the violence and "unjustified personal attacks" on her. At this time, it is now all about healing the country and its citizens.
It was her honor
Nevertheless, she apparently sees something good in the "passion" of Trump supporters: "It is inspiring to see that so many have found a passion and enthusiasm for participating in an election." But this must not turn into violence. "Our way forward is to find what we have in common and to be the kind and strong people I know we are."
In the statement, she also writes that, as an American, she is proud of freedom of expression. Different points of view should never be the basis for "aggression and malice". Finally, Trump thanks for the support over the past few years: "It was the honor of my life to serve as your first lady."
