The first lady is unlikely to be actively campaigning for her husband's re-election, like in 2016 when she stayed home to look after their son.

Melania Trump came armed with surefire applause lines when she stepped up to address a largely female audience that had gathered to celebrate other women.

Beyond the State Department appearance, she showed growing ease with her role in the past week as she also made a three-state swing to promote the three pillars of her "Be Best" children's initiative, and accompanied her husband to Alabama to survey tornado damage. Katherine Jellison, a history professor at Ohio University who studies first ladies, said they can help their husbands politically by reaching out to female audiences and showing up at smaller venues than where the president campaigns."Typically, the president and the first lady are the family superstars," said Jellison, adding that it was hard to find a more reclusive first lady in recent history than Melania.

One poll showed that about two-thirds of Republican registered voters have a favourable opinion of Melania Trump, and only 3 percent said they viewed her unfavourably. But among general voters, just 35 per cent of have a favourable opinion. A large 20 per cent say they had an unfavourable view.

Trump blames North Korean summit failure on former lawyer Michael CohenPresident Trump has blamed the congressional testimony of Michael Cohen, his former personal lawyer and fixer, for the collapse in negotiations with North Korea over its nuclear program last week. Narcissists can never accept they're to blame for their own failures and personal failings. I recon it’s more to do with DonaldTrump spending Long Count Trillions to upgrade his Nuclear Arsenal and his Military Piracy Worldwide, than MichaelCohen or NorthKorea Will this man ever take responsibility for anything?
