Need we mention rich and close to power? These are neither intriguing or scheming people. They can keep a secret. Necessary for diplomacy. They aren’t dissembling or capricious. They dress well and present a great image for America. The First daughter is on the job in D.C. an Melania will follow. They round out the American package of the Trump administration without really being in it.
Trustworthy. Allies of the President. Better than friends. Not part of the D.C. swamp. Self assured. Confident. They fairly reek of America.

Melania. From a tiny, communist Southeast Europe nothing place. Born April 26, 1970 in Novo Mesto, in southeastern Slovenia, which was formerly a part of Yugoslavia. She was Melania Knauss, (Kah-nowseh, rhymes with house) until she married “The Donald”. She is fluent in English, French, Italian, German, and Slovene, her native language. She speaks with a German accent. She appears to think in that language too. German has no “the”. With the accent “the” comes out in English as Duh. That becomes Dat. The English “th” sound is missing from most non-native English speakers.

Italian is the most melodic of Melania’s five languages but English has almost four times as many words as the nearest language. French, Italian, German and Slovene have about 100,000 to 150,000 words each. It takes about 5,000 words in a different language to appear fluent. French and Italian are related languages. German is different from French and Italian but not so different  from Slovenian and English has components of words and words from all of those languages. English is a sort of combination language which is one reason there are so many more English words that other languages.

American English is more modern than British English. There are more American speakers so the possibilities that Americans will invent more words is higher than for other English speakers. The fact that Melania is fluent in five languages is quite remarkable. So is the fact that she is 24 years younger than her husband. President Trump was born in the middle class Jamaica hospital in Queens on 6/14/1946. Melania was born on 4/26/1970. Ivana was the mother of Donald Jr, Ivanka and Eric born 2/20/1949 and Marla Maples, the mother of Tiffany Trump was born on 10/27/1963 seven years before Melania was born. The ages of his children are: Donald Jr. born 12/31/1977, 38; Ivanka born 10/30/1981 is 34; Eric Trump born 1/6/1984 is 32; Tiffany born 10/13/1993, is 22 and Barron was born 3/20/2006 is 10. President Trumps children were fathered over a span of 28 years. They were born in 1977, 1981, 1984, 1993, and 2006 when the President was 31, 35, 38, 47 and 60 years old. President Trump got a late start having children but they are all great people. In addition Ivanka has three children and Donald Jr. has five. All people of whom the President is justifiably proud.
