Most think of the fact that the first lady of the US, Melania Trump, divides her time between the golden penthouse in Manhattan and a mansion in Florida, passing occasionally to the White House to greet the ordinary people.
But it is certain that Melania also has her own problems. So, how does the first lady manage to cope with these very stressful challenges? While presenting the 19th edition of the International Awards for Brave Women of the State Department, who honored eight women around the world, Melania shared her secret trick to go through difficult times. It's about … love.
“Throughout my life, I have exploited the power of love as a source of power in difficult times ”, said Melania. “Love inspired me to hugI sit on forgiveness, to cultivate empathy and to show courage in the face of unforeseen obstacles. ”

In an editorial in The Guardian author Arwa Mahdawi shows how contrasting her words are with the actions of the administration led by her husband.
“How can she talk about love, while her husband's administration, full of hate, deports everyone she catches? Only if you have an inappropriate tattoo you can now get to a prison in El Salvador“Writes Arwa Mahdawi, the author of the book” Strong Female Lead “, in which he explores themes related to the powerful women in contemporary society.
“How can Melania talk about justice, when the Trump administration does everything possible to deport or incarceration of anyone daring to ask justice to Palestinians? And how dares to talk about diversity and women's rights, when the Trump administration deletes women on government sites as part of its actions against diversity, equity and inclusion?
But, look, I don't want to completely reject the advice of Melania. Maybe he has a point of view. Perhaps, in these provocative times, we should all channel the power of love, as Melania suggests. So: If you get in trouble with a guard on the US border, remember the words of Melania. Remember them that love transcends borders and territories. And then sit comfortably and enjoy the free trip in El Salvador”, Concludes Arwa Mahdawi.
Melania noted that the prize laureates – who included women from Yemen, South Sudan, Israel and Philippines – “They came from various environments and regions, but love transcends borders and territories ”. She added that she was inspired by “Women who are determined to speak for justice, even if their voices tremble.”
