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
