Poll respondents call Melania 'beautiful,' say they approve of her as first lady
A new Daily Mail/J.L. Partners poll identified "beautiful" as the most-used word by Americans to describe their First Lady Melania Trump.
In addition, 40% of respondents thought Trump was a "good influence" on her husband, with smaller numbers choosing "classy" and "elegant" to describe her.
Even though Trump has been mostly absent from the public during her husband's first month-and-a-half as president, she has a 47% approval rating, while only 38% disapproved of her job as First Lady.
After spending the majority of her time with son Barron in New York as he attends college there and filming her Amazon documentary, which airs in the fall, she was once again in the public eye last week to relaunch her "Be Best" initiative.
Take it down
She appeared in support of the Take It Down Act, which requires social media platforms to take down nonconsensual intimate images including revenge porn and AI-generated porn.
She wore an elegant tan-colored pantsuit for the appearance, chastising Democrats for not showing up to support the bill.
"I expected to see more Democrat leaders with us here today to address this serious issue. Surely as adults, we can prioritize America's children ahead of partisan politics," she said.
State of the Union
She also appeared to cheer her husband on at his State of the Union speech to Congress and a formal dinner afterward.
Next month, she will help host the White House Easter Egg roll on April 21st, she announced.
Garden tours at the White House will begin April 5, so we will see more of her as her husband's presidency goes on.
Everyone's a critic
Trump was criticized during her husband's first term as president, but most of the criticism seemed petty and predicated on the media and Democrats hating her husband the president rather than Melania herself.
They picked on her status as a former supermodel and fashion designer and claimed she was dumb even though she speaks five languages.
They even brought up nude modeling she had done in the past in Europe, which both she and her husband defended as "fashionable and common" and an artistic "celebration of the human form."
Vogue also shunned her by not inviting her to shoot for its cover, even though they invited former First Ladies Jill Biden and Michelle Obama, whose husbands were Democrat presidents.
