Trump Calls Melania a Genius: Internet Laughs After Pete Davidson’s Dig

During a speech in Iowa on July 3, President Donald Trump, 79, unveiled the affectionate nickname he uses for his wife, Melania Trump. Speaking at the Salute to America event, Trump referred to Melania, 55, as “First Lady,” reflecting a lighthearted acknowledgment of his presidential role. He explained, “I’m saying, ‘Good night, First Lady, my darling,’ because it reminds me that I’m president, that’s why.” This admission drew a mix of ridicule and commentary online, with one Facebook user jesting about Trump's self-reinforcing title. Observers have frequently scrutinized the dynamics of their marriage, with critics labeling it a “sham.” Amid his Iowa appearance, Melania visited patients at Children’s National Hospital in D.C., engaging with children and planning a celebration at the White House. Their two-decade-long union has endured relentless speculation about closeness and compatibility, further fueling public curiosity about their relationship.
