Abstract:
In the paper, the author tries to answer the question what role does Melania Trump play as the
First Lady of the United States in the Trump administration and the life of the country and how
she differs from her predecessors in this. Based on the original sources, it is concluded that in
the early years Melania Trump, unlike the other First Ladies, felt insecure, showed her
inexperience, was shy of her pronunciation of the English language, which was not native to
her. She also did not have her own program, but later she appeared under the name “Be Best”,
although it was criticized.
The coronavirus pandemic gave the First Lady the opportunity to find her new place in the
Trump administration's coronavirus response. Melania is one of several administration and
public health officials who will appear in new nationwide public service announcements, which
will educate Americans on how to protect themselves and others against Covid-19.
The new role of Melania Trump indicates that the First Lady was able to overcome the language
barrier, determined her place in the White House and is trying to play an active role in the
administration and, in general, in the life of the country.
