Why is Melania Trump's Appearance Being Talked About

Melania Trump's appearance was much-awaited and is being talked about, because ever since Donald Trump's election campaign began, his wife hasn't been part of many events.

Melania has missed many milestone events including the Super Tuesday victory party and Trump's 78th birthday party last month.

The former First Lady of US had also not accompanied the Republican nominee during his more than month-long hush money trial in New York.

However, Melania did react to the assassination attempt made on her husband with a long and emotional ‘Letter to America’.
