About this listen
Melania Trump has made several high-profile appearances at the White House in recent days, taking center stage in both policy and public events. On May 19, 2025, the First Lady joined President Trump in the Rose Garden for the signing of the "TAKE IT DOWN Act," legislation that criminalizes deepfake and revenge porn. This bill represents a significant policy win for Melania, who championed it as part of her renewed BE BEST initiative.
During the Rose Garden ceremony, Melania delivered remarks lasting under four minutes, condemning the effects of new technology on children and describing AI and social media as "sweet and addictive digital candy" with concerning impacts on cognitive development. President Trump praised his wife for her unique ability to unite Democrats and Republicans on this issue, noting the bill passed with overwhelming bipartisan support (409-2 in the House and unanimously in the Senate).
Just a day later, on May 20, Melania hosted children at the White House for the annual "Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day." She welcomed children of Executive Office staff to the Kennedy Garden, where they participated in patriotic arts and crafts, decorating wooden American flags. The First Lady stated, "It is always special to see children's creativity and spirit on display, especially here at the White House."
These appearances come amid reports from The New York Times that Melania has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since the Trumps' second inauguration, adopting an approach markedly different from previous first ladies. Her recent public activities suggest she may be increasing her visibility in her role.
The First Lady has maintained a limited social media presence during this period, with her official Instagram account sharing posts about both the "TAKE IT DOWN Act" signing and the children's event at the White House, garnering thousands of likes and hundreds of comments from followers.
These recent appearances highlight Melania's focus on children's welfare and online safety, consistent themes throughout her time as First Lady.
