Melania Trump Comforts Wildfire Victims in Slovenian
A heartwarming moment of Melania Trump offering support to wildfire victims in California has gone viral.
The clip, which shows the First Lady comforting a woman in Slovenian, her native language, has quickly captured the attention of millions online.
Shared by user Johnny Maga on X, the 30-second video shows Melania speaking to a woman who had been affected by the Palisades fire, offering words of comfort in their shared language.
Since it was posted, the video has racked up an impressive 2.4 million views, with many touched by the First Lady’s compassion.
A lesser-known fact about Melania is her impressive language skills—she speaks six languages, including Italian, French, German, English, Serbian, and Slovenian.
The Exchange
A commenter provided a translation of their conversation, noting that the woman introduced herself in Serbian and mentioned she had lived in California for much of her life.
Melania asked about her family, and the woman shared that she had two sons, responding in a mix of Serbian and Slovenian.
It’s clear that Melania’s ability to connect with people in their own language adds a deeply personal touch to moments like these, and it was especially meaningful in the midst of such a devastating event.
President Trump’s Visit to California
Meanwhile, Melania’s husband, President Donald Trump, also visited California to assess the damage caused by the wildfire.
Touring Pacific Palisades, the President found himself at odds with local officials over delays in rebuilding efforts, citing regulations that had slowed down the recovery process.
While Mayor Karen Bass highlighted concerns about safety, Trump pushed for faster action, criticizing what he called bureaucratic red tape and the inefficiency of FEMA.
This visit marked Trump’s first trip to the state since regaining the presidency, and it included a push for a more bipartisan approach to disaster response.
A Cordial Exchange with Governor Newsom
Despite their differences in the past, President Trump and California Governor Gavin Newsom greeted each other with a handshake upon Trump’s arrival at LAX. Air Force One touched down at 2:55 p.m.,
and the two leaders addressed the media together.
“I appreciate the governor coming out and meeting me,” Trump said, emphasizing the need for quick solutions.
“We want to get the problem fixed… It’s like you got hit by a bomb.”
Newsom expressed gratitude for the visit and stressed the importance of collaboration to rebuild the communities devastated by the fires.
“We’re going to need your help,” Newsom said, referencing the cooperation the two had during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Tensions Over Wildfire Management
Trump’s visit took place amid ongoing debates over California’s wildfire management and water policies.
The President criticized the state’s handling of wildfires, particularly pointing out that water restrictions had hindered firefighting efforts.
However, Newsom and experts have pushed back, noting that most forestland is under federal management, not the state’s control.
Despite these tensions, Newsom made sure to greet Trump as promised.
The President, First Lady, and Governor then took a tour of the fire-ravaged areas from the air aboard Marine One before continuing their visit on the ground.
