Melania Trump celebrates her birthday tomorrow

Talking about Melania Trump's biography before she became First Lady is, firstly, pointless (this is especially evident from her official photo from Trump's second presidential term, which we will discuss below), and, secondly, even dangerous. According to Wikipedia, on January 19, 2019, The Daily Telegraph published an article that, among other things, claimed that Melania's career before her marriage to Donald Trump was not successful, and a week later, this British newspaper apologized and expressed its readiness to pay the US First Lady compensation and legal costs in connection with the distortion of facts about her life in the article.

In general, in the case of Melania Trump, the saying is one hundred percent true that it is better to see once (in this case, twice) than to hear (in this case, read) a hundred times. You need to see (and compare) two official photos of Melania as First Lady during Trump's first term (see below) and second (cover photo).

Eight years after the first photo, Melania does not look like a traditional image of a first lady, but rather like the head of a large corporation in her office. So the first message that this photo makes is power. But what is especially important here is that the photo also emphasizes that this is the power of a woman who realizes that she is beautiful (and beauty is also power, at least over men) and demonstrates it. Moreover, in this photo you will not find any hint of her husband (although he is the President of the United States), or of family life in general.

All this was all the more unexpected because during his second election campaign Trump was accused of wanting to bring back patriarchy and, as apologists of progressive ideology like to say, "toxic masculinity." The official portrait of Melania Trump says the opposite - you can't "control" her. And this is her message to all women about their place in the world.

And the fact that you can't give her her age is so obvious that it didn't even need to be mentioned.
