He praised what she has done over the past year \u2014 from work on foster care to AI issues \u2014 and pointed to her new Amazon documentary. However, he paused and made a funny remark about how people seem to like her more than him.\u201cNobody cares more about protecting America\u2019s youth than our first lady \u2014 she\u2019s now a movie star, can you believe it? Who would\u2019ve believed that?\u201d Trump said. \u201cOver the past year she\u2019s had an incredible impact, implementing AI legislation, advancing a landmark executive order on foster care and securing 30 million dollars to launch the Melania Trump foster youth to independence initiative. It\u2019s tremendous.\u201dThen he made the light joke that got people talking:\u201cIt\u2019s a really tremendous thing that happened and she got a lot of bipartisan support. She gets much better bipartisan support than I do. I get none, she gets a lot. Some day you\u2019re going to have to tell me how you did that!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
