Presidents of the United States are treated as the first man of the nation, and their wife is suppose to be the first lady of this nation, hence the term First Lady. First Ladies are meant to present themselves with poise and honesty in order to present herself as the woman that stands by her husband and the citizens of the United States; however, can such a Lady of high status be known to lose her beauteous prestige for committing literary theft? Melania Trump, a naturalized
American who is now the current First Lady of the United States, is known to commit such an act for saying her speech at the 2016 Republican National. It was a speech to convince others that her Republican husband is a worthy leader of becoming the new President of the …show more content…
Michelle Obama’s performance and effort as the First Lady was greatly praised by the citizens of the United States however, the nation now has a new president and the citizens have yet to see the potential hidden in the new governing couple, but they can know what’s to come by hearing their words. In her speech, Melania Trump tends to convince her audience that her husband, Donald Trump, will be a worthy successor of becoming the new President of the
