First lady Melania Trump, President Donald Trump’s third wife, was put in the spotlight more than she may have liked since the start of the 2016 campaign.
She has been described as quiet and reserved, but her marriage to Trump has forced her to make public statements and be scrutinized by the media. Recent reports have questioned whether Melania really wants to be first lady, but her spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham denies those accusations.
