Melania Trump

Melania Knauss Trump, shown here in her official White House portrait, was born in Slovenia. After Louisa Catherine Adams, Trump is only the second first lady to have been born outside of the United States and the first to become a naturalized citizen. Since the success of her husband Donald Trump’s run for president in 2016, she has focused on raising their son, Barron, and her Be Best campaign, which supports children’s well-being with a focus on two specific issues: online safety and combating opioid abuse.  

During the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, Melania Trump actively used her @FLOTUS Twitter account to promote information on health and safety while encouraging parents to remain attentive to the needs of their children.
