French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte arrived on Monday for a three-day visit with President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania. The couples have become fast friends since President Trump’s inauguration, and their visit this week was a chance to reinforce their growing bond. However, now safely back in Paris, Brigitte Macron has dropped a bombshell about her American counterpart.
Melania Trump pulled out all of the stops for her visit with Brigitte Macron this week. On Tuesday, she successfully threw the Trump administration’s very first State Dinner in honor of the Macrons, and it went off without a hitch. So, it’s not surprising that, now back home in France, Mrs. Macron has already spoken out about what a gracious host Melania was and what a fantastic personality she has.
According to Daily Mail, the wife of the French president praised the first lady and told of her fun side after a three-day visit to Washington, D.C. Although she is portrayed by the media as cold and unfeeling, Brigitte said, “On the contrary, [Melania] is really fun. We have the same sense of humor. We laugh a lot together. Everything is interpreted, over-interpreted. She’s someone who has a strong personality but she makes an effort to hide it.”
It’s really no surprise to learn that Melania Trump has such a “strong personality,” despite the media’s portrayal of her. After all, she would have to be one heck of a strong woman to endure the onslaught of attacks from outlets that have trotted out every female who allegedly slept with her husband in the past two decades in a shameless attempt to destroy their marriage. President Trump has always said that Melania’s personality and intellect are what drew him to her. The woman speaks five languages — she’s no dummy.
Twenty-five years older than her husband, Brigitte Macron offered a glowing review of Melania’s hospitality as she spoke of her own life at the Élysée Palace after nearly a year there. Brigitte is a former teacher whose relationship with President Macron began when he was her teenage pupil.
After witnessing firsthand the restricted lifestyle Melania must live now that she is the first lady, Brigitte also offered her sympathy for the first lady. “She is much more constrained than me. Melania can’t do anything. The security is terrible. She can’t even open a window at the White House because immediately the security services call and say ‘close it.’ She can’t put a foot outside. Every day, I go out in Paris,” said Mrs. Macron.
Indeed, it is difficult to imagine not being able to come and go as you please or to even be able to do something as mundane as opening a window. But, do we ever hear Melania Trump complain? No. She is always the picture of class, only speaking up if she has something pleasant and positive to say.
Brigitte Macron’s account of Melania’s heavily guarded life in the White House sheds light on what it’s really like to be the First Lady of the United States. Still, even with all of the freedoms she has given up in order to serve her country, Melania has never once had a negative thing to say about her life in the White House or acted less than enthusiastic about her role.
President Trump is often lauded for giving up a billionaire’s lifestyle in order to serve as the president — a job he is doing free of charge because he loves his country so much. We should applaud Donald Trump’s sacrifice. He could have easily retired to the comfort of a mansion, allowed his children to run his companies, and watched his grandchildren grow up. Instead, he chose to open himself up to the scrutiny of an unscrupulous press and constant assaults from a Democratic Party still resentful over his election victory.Likewise, Melania Trump made a similar sacrifice when she agreed to support her husband’s bid for the White House, and she should receive a similar amount of recognition for doing so. Yet, she is constantly lambasted by the media, Democrats, and Hollywood elite. While her predecessor, Michelle Obama, was featured on every magazine cover under the sun and given every undeserved award leftists could conjure up, Melania is either ignored or openly mocked. Please share Brigitte Macron’s kind words for the first lady so that the media can’t sweep this one under the rug.
