President Donald Trump’s family made a notable appearance at his address before a joint session of Congress, with all his children present except Barron Trump. Accompanied by their spouses, Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump were all in attendance. First Lady Melania Trump received a standing ovation as she entered the House chamber in a grey skirt suit with a belted scarf, a departure from her recent outfits at high-profile events.
During the address, Melania was joined by two young women representing causes she supports: Elliston Berry, a victim of AI-generated deepfake images, and Haley Ferguson, a scholarship recipient from Trump’s first tenure. Trump introduced them as impressive young women and praised Melania’s work for the foster-care community. The legislation they support, the Take It Down Act, requires technology platforms to remove nonconsensual explicit content promptly.
Melania’s advocacy for this legislation was highlighted during a roundtable discussion where she spoke out against revenge porn. Trump commended the Senate for passing the bill and expressed his anticipation of signing it into law. He acknowledged the impact of online mistreatment, stating, “Nobody gets treated worse than I do online.” This event showcased the Trump family’s support for important causes and Melania’s dedication to advocating for vulnerable individuals.
