It comes after news the First Lady and wife of President Donald Trump would visit the New York Stock Exchange next week and ring the famous opening bell. Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told CNN: “Mrs Trump will be taking part in an iconic New York City tradition, and encouraging children to be best, through her initiative.” Ms Grisham added Melania will be accompanied by several children from the UN International School (UNIS). There is only room for 10 students to go on the tour with Melania, but it was enough to rile up parents who were concerned their children would be used as political props. Predrag Vasic, a UN public information officer, said in a letter to a UN undersecretary-general he was “disappointed by the decision to accept this invitation”.

Melania Trump wore a J Mendel seafoam green gown with a high neck and transparent sleeves. The dress is embellished with vertical rows of bias-cut wavy ruffles falling to a skirt with narrow pleats. It sells for about $6,000 on the Bergdorf Goodman website but is on sale for about $1,500. Celebrity guests included Australian pro-golfer Greg Norman, a friend and sometime golf partner to the president; Lachlan Murdoch, CEO of Fox Corp. and son of Aussie-born media mogul Rupert Murdoch; Fox News' Trump-backing commentator Lou Dobbs and his wife, Debi Dobbs; and another Fox star, Maria Bartiromo and her husband, Jonathan Steinberg.

The first state dinner under President Trump honored French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte, in April 2018. The White House said Melania Trump "carefully selected" the colors, decor and menu for the dinner to reflect the continuation of one of America's "most important and enduring relationships."

There’s a lot said about Donald and Melania Trump’s marriage, most of it insulting and cruel.
People who hate the president can’t believe anyone could love him.
At best, they regard his wife with pity, as the prisoner of a loveless marriage.
“Inside the Trump marriage: Melanie’s burden,” “The Sad Truth,” “Dark Secrets” are typical headlines.
“#SaveMelania” memes trended online as Vanity Fair fantasized she would divorce her husband and become a feminist icon.
Yet those who attended the state dinner for Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison on Friday tell a very different story.
They say the affection between the first couple is genuine, demonstrative and mutually respectful behind the scenes.
“It’s a real marriage, very affectionate,” said one Australian official who observed it up close and personal during the three-day state visit.

According to the White House, the First Lady will visit Wyoming on Thursday to visit some of America’s “treasured national parks” to spread the message of BeBest. One of the pillars of the BeBest initiative is wellbeing, and encourages children to get a national park pass in order to spend time outdoors and learn more about America’s natural beauty. The press release said: “In her time as First Lady, Mrs Trump has been a strong proponent of preserving national treasures so that people may enjoy and appreciate their historic value to the nation for generations to come. “In addition to speaking with children about the value of getting out in nature and our national parks, this trip will highlight a few historic natural landmarks." The announcement was tweeted, along with the press release, by Melania’s spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham. She wrote: “@flotus will travel to beautiful #Wyoming Thursday. Mrs Trump will meet with children and encourage them to spend more time outdoors & learn about our amazing National Parks.” Melania will fly into Jackson Hole and spend two days visiting Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks.

The First Lady was not in attendance with the US President who chose to take senior adviser and daughter, Ivanka Trump. But at the ribbon-cutting ceremony Trump posed for cameras before saying: “Louis Vuitton, a name I know well — cost me a lot of money over the years." Melania, who has been married to Trump for 14 years, has quite an extensive collection of Louis Vuitton items. The First Lady has posed in her New York penthouse surrounded by a dozen Louis Vuitton suitcases in 2010. The famous suitcases have also been photographed being taken aboard Air Force One as Trump and Melania flew to visit victims of Hurricane Harvey. Melania has also been photographed shopping at Louis Vuitton. It’s unclear if the President was suggesting Ivanka had also cost him a lot with a love for the brand but her chosen bag for the visit caused quite a stir.
