Here’s what The Hill reported:

Melania Trump is giving a first look at a new stamp honoring Barbara Bush, helping to unveil it at a White House ceremony despite a seemingly sticky relationship between President Trump and members of the former first family.

“Barbara’s unwavering conviction, dignity and [loyalty] to her loved ones have left an undeniable mark on our hearts and history,” the first lady said Thursday as the U.S. Postal Service stamp bearing the image of Bush, the wife of late President George H.W. Bush, was revealed publicly for the first time.

“Mrs. Bush’s legacy is marked by her respect for tradition while also breaking with convention,” said Trump.

“While she is known for championing literacy, she also supported women’s empowerment, changed the national conversation on AIDS, and took a stand supporting gay rights,” Trump added, saying she applauded Bush for “defending our society’s vital need for women across all avenues — whether CEO or homemaker.”

Barbara Bush, who was also former President George W. Bush’s mother, died in 2018 at 92.
