Melania Trump made a rare public appearance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. Dressed in red, she entered alone to classical music, contrasting the week's country and rock tunes. She joined Trump on stage post-speech, sharing a brief kiss and hand-holding. Melania’s absence at key moments, such as Trump’s mugshot and legal convictions, has been notable. At the convention, she refrained from speaking, diverging from the tradition of candidate spouses giving speeches.
