Melania Trump makes a rare appearance to watch her husband speak at the convention.

Melania Trump, the defensive spouse of Donald Trump, made her first public appearance since the former president barely avoided being shot by an assassin.
Donning Republican red, she entered the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee by herself to the sound of classical music—a stark contrast to the rock ballads and country music hits we’ve been listening to all week. 

She appeared more like she was entering a political gathering than a runway, thanks to her glossy and glamorous appearance. She appeared just as mysterious and aloof as before.
After his long acceptance speech, she came to the platform right as balloons started to shower down on thousands of people in the audience. She was met by Donald Trump with an embrace, and they planted a kiss on her cheek. 
Then, as other Trump family members joined them on stage, he took her hand and moved across.

Since her husband’s election in 2016, Melania Trump has disregarded every convention of traditional American presidential politics. 

Compared to other first ladies, she was an alone presence in the White House throughout Trump’s first term, concentrating on a limited range of interests. She was a champion for children’s issues and a “ambassador for kindness,” according to the US National Archives. 
Additionally, she has frequently declined to be seen by her husband’s side when the public would have expected her to be when he left office. 

When he got his mugshot taken in Atlanta, she wasn’t present. When he was found guilty of a crime and became the first former president to do so, she was not there in New York. Additionally, she wasn’t present on Monday when he formally accepted his party’s presidential candidature for the third time. 
“Melania follows her own likes,” stated Mary Jordan, the author of the biography The Art of her Deal about the former first lady. She is fiercely independent and won’t follow other people’s lead when it comes to actions. She doesn’t think she has to do it. 
We’ve all grown used to her absence from many of Donald Trump’s events by now, but her absence felt particularly apparent on Monday as he arrived at the Milwaukee arena to a thunderous greeting, treated like a Messiah after escaping the assassination attempt. 
The Republicans in attendance were aware of it, for sure, but that didn’t stop them from being anticipating her arrival when it arrived. 
The most mysterious first lady in contemporary history, Melania seldom expresses her opinions to us. 
One exception was the long statement she made following the shooting that seemed to have been directly dictated by her to her husband. 
“A creature that identified my spouse as a callous political apparatus endeavoured to extract Donald’s essence – his wit, inventiveness, affection for melody, and motivation,” she remarked.
The fundamental aspects of my spouse’s existence, his humanity, were subsumed by the governmental apparatus. I have spent both the greatest and worst of times with Donald, the kind and giving man. 
The candidate’s spouse is generally expected to make a speech at party conventions, reciting carefully rehearsed stories about their family life. 
Usha Vance, the wife of Trump’s recently selected running mate JD Vance, achieved this on Wednesday night. She referred to her spouse as a “meat and potatoes” man, but he suddenly prepared her Indian vegetarian food, seemingly as a token of his devotion. 
 Additionally, Melania Trump has turned down the chance to speak at this convention, despite the fact that Donald Trump’s middle son Eric, daughter-in-law Lara, granddaughter Kai, and oldest son Don Jr. have all spoken. It’s obvious that she doesn’t do anything that she doesn’t want to.
Things went terribly wrong when she attempted to introduce her husband at the 2016 convention, 
when he was running for president. 
She faced backlash for allegedly copying the 2008 speech Michelle Obama gave at the Democratic convention, where she introduced her husband Barack. Later, Melania’s speechwriter took ownership of the error. 
First ladies are constantly under intense scrutiny for the way they present themselves, the organisations they support, and the attire they choose. 
However, Melania Trump is the first to have worked as a professional model in the past. She knows how powerful her image is and looks amazing in pictures. She provides so few opportunity for photos, making each one immeasurably more potent. 
Going undercover has helped her develop the mystique of the mystery woman, so when she does come out, it’s a much larger event, according to Ms. Jordan. 
“She doesn’t come around very often, but when Donald Trump needs her, she comes around.” 

Melania felt absent after the attempt on his life on Saturday. However, she demonstrated her command of the power of an image on Thursday night as she took the stairs to the VIP area slowly, stopped at the top, and waved to everyone in the arena.
