It's nice to see her embracing the role now, engaging with foreign dignitaries and bringing some class and dignity to the role.

First Lady Melania Trump is committed to continuing the White House garden tradition, showcasing her interest in a Saturday morning visit to the Morikami Museum and Japanese Gardens with Akie Abe, wife of Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.

"The First Lady has a deep personal commitment to her role as caretaker and nurturer, beginning with her family. She believes there is a connection between a child's mind and places of calm and beauty to be used as a tool for us all. As a mother and as the First Lady of this country, Mrs. Trump is committed to the preservation and continuation of the White House Gardens, specifically the First Lady's Kitchen Garden and the Rose Garden," Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, senior adviser to the first lady, said in a statement to CNN.

Certainly is a nice change from Mooch who always looked completely uncomfortable in such a role.

And more to the point, seemed to make everyone around her look uncomfortable.

That permanent scowl could stop a clock.

The word "vapid" keeps popping into my head.

Nothing says class and dignity like a for-hire wife.

She is beautiful and elegant. Like a breath of fresh air. She makes everything more wonderful with her presence.

Is it common for Japanese wives to take their spouses last name? I know that's not common in other East Asian countries.

I don't understand the attacks on presidents spouses. Michelle was fine and Melania has done fine so far too.

Wonder why she drapes her coat/sweater over her shoulders without putting her arms into the coat. That must be uncomfortable walking around having to hold your arms and shoulders a certain way so the coat doesn't fall off. She has done this many times. Can anyone figure out why?

Toward the end of that video she threw some fish food into the pond and had to grab her sweater and adjust in on the right shoulder because she had moved her arm to toss the fish food into the pond.

Or one that is suing because she cannot use her ill-gotten new title to profit off of. What a tacky family!
