About this listen
Melania Trump celebrated a major policy victory this week as the "Take It Down Act" passed the House with overwhelming bipartisan support (409-2) on Monday and now heads to President Trump's desk for signature. The First Lady has been championing this legislation, which targets revenge porn and AI-generated "deep fake" images, as part of her renewed "Be Best" initiative since returning to her role in January. Following the vote, she posted on X: "By safeguarding children from harmful behavior today, we take a vital step nurturing our leaders of tomorrow. #BeBest."
The First Lady had been building momentum for the bill since March when she hosted a roundtable on Capitol Hill with lawmakers and survivors. The White House issued a statement on April 28th where Mrs. Trump applauded the passage, highlighting her advocacy for online protection of children.
Just a week earlier, Melania made a public appearance at the annual White House Easter Egg Roll on April 21st, where she read to children. The First Lady had previewed the event on April 18th, announcing various activities including several "Be Best" stations. The celebration featured traditional egg hunts alongside educational activities, including an America250 initiative commemorating America's founding.
Despite these recent public engagements, sources indicate the First Lady continues to maintain a more private lifestyle than during her husband's first term. According to The Independent, she splits her time between Mar-a-Lago and the White House, joining the President "when appropriate." This arrangement allows her to lead "her own life" while fulfilling select First Lady duties. Nina Burleigh, author of "The Trump Women: Part of the Deal," suggests this limited public role is by mutual design.
In business ventures, Melania previously partnered with Parler for her social media communications and NFT ventures, though it's unclear if this arrangement continues in her return to the White House.
As the "Take It Down Act" awaits the President's signature, it represents Melania's most significant policy achievement since returning to her role as First Lady in 2025.
