MUST SEE: Melania Trump Comforts LA Fire Victim By Speaking In Her Native Language

President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump visited disaster areas in North Carolina and California as part of their first week back in the White House.

Those trips attracted significant attention, particularly in contrast to the lack of such action by the Biden administration, but there wasn’t that much media coverage of the small moments showing the Trumps’ obvious compassion for those impacted.

One such exchange did attract significant attention on social media, though:

Melania Trump just had a very sweet moment with a lady from California who has been devastated by the fires 🙏❤️

Can anyone tell what language they are speaking or what they are saying? pic.twitter.com/Pb0DzkSYiy

As Breitbart reported:

“The lady told Melania ‘Ja sam ovde dosla pre 10 godina’ which means: ‘I came here 10 years ago,’” former Republican nominee for Maryland lieutenant governor Gordana Schifanelli explained.

“She also told Melania that she lost everything in this fire. Melania was so compassionate and understanding,” Schifanelli added.

Melania’s emotion was clear on her face as she learned the woman had lost everything, shaking her head and saying “Oh, my God” in English.

The first lady is fluent in several languages, including English, Slovenian, Italian, German, French, and Serbian, according to the Daily Mail.

The response was overwhelmingly positive:

I love the way Melania takes off her sunglasses to personally make eye contact with the person she is speaking with. Her concern and compassion is genuine.

It's just so refreshing to have an elegant, classy @FLOTUS again. My heart swells with pride.

Four years without sofa fabric dresses is going to be so great.

I love that when he noticed she was speaking to her, Trump stopped speaking. This is the Trump we've been waiting for, he's much more polished and controlled than in 2016, to me.

The Daily Mail reported on the significance of this domestic trip:

This marked Trump’s first trip since reclaiming the presidency, blending disaster response with a push to showcase bipartisan governance.

Despite prior tensions, President Trump and Governor Gavin Newsom exchanged a cordial handshake upon Trump’s arrival at LAX with First Lady Melania Trump.

Air Force One landed at 2:55 p.m., and the two addressed the media together.

‘I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me,’ Trump said. ‘We want to get the problem fixed … It’s like you got hit by a bomb.’

Newsom thanked Trump for visiting and called for collaboration to rebuild communities devastated by the Palisades Fire.

‘We’re going to need your help,’ Newsom said, expressing confidence in working together, citing past cooperation during the COVID-19 pandemic.
