Former President D.T and former First Lady Melania shared a heart warming moment on stage while the Republican presidential candidate was giving a speech shortly after the failed assassination attempt against him in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Melania entered later, smiling and waving to the crowd as she walked alone into the arena and up a flight of stairs to take her seat next to vice presidential nominee JD Vance. She wore a red skirt suit as Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 played.
“On this journey, I am deeply honored to be joined by my amazing wife, Melania,” Trump said to extended applause. “And Melania, thank you very much.”
He said she “did something really beautiful” when she wrote her statement pleading for unity after the shooting.

Melania Trump later joined Trump on stage, startling him as she walked up behind him after his 93-minute speech, then whispered in his ear. The rest of the Trump family joined and balloons fell from the ceiling, an iconic tradition of political conventions.
Some of Trump’s younger grandchildren, big smiles on their faces, batted balloons with their hands and feet.
As the family lingered on stage for 20 minutes, Melania Trump stood by Trump’s side being quietly affectionate, touching her husband’s arm at times and sometimes chatting with Vance and his wife, Usha Vance.
Trump’s two oldest sons, Donald Trump Jr., and Eric Trump, both spoke to delegates this week, as did their partners, Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lara Trump, respectively.
Daughter Tiffany Trump and her husband, Michael Boulos, were at the convention but did not speak. The president’s youngest child, 18-year-old Barron Trump, did not appear at the convention. He declined an invitation to be a Florida delegate.
