On January 18, local time, the Trump family appeared at the Bethesda-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in Palm Beach, Florida, to attend a funeral to bid farewell to Ms. Amalia Knaffs, also known as Melanie Trump's mother and the former president's mother-in-law.
Amalia died of illness on the 9th of this month at the age of 78.
At the funeral, the 53-year-old former first lady delivered a touching eulogy and paid her last respects to her mother.
"She is the embodiment of the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law, and a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives." Melania said her mother has a "beautiful and impeccable sense of style." "She was a true inspiration and a role model to me and many others."
"RIP, my dear mother," Melania said in the last sentence of her seven-minute speech.
Melania, who lost her mother, was immersed in sadness. It was for this reason that she suddenly felt vicissitudes of life.
The 77-year-old former president was supposed to participate in a defamation trial in New York City that day. In fact, he was still there the day before, but he flew back to Florida without stopping because he needed to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law.
It is reported that Trump’s lawyers wrote to the judge hoping to postpone the trial, but he was not granted permission. Trump also commented on Judge Lewis Kaplan's decision, "I think it's terrible, I think it's terrible." In addition, he also attacked Kaplan personally, calling him a " hater” and a “Trump hater.”
On the way to the church, Melania and her husband held hands. This scene was really long gone.
One person who attracted much attention at the funeral was Barron Trump, because the 17-year-old boy did not often appear in public, but he was mentioned by his father from time to time, and his words were full of pride. .
From a distance, Barron is very similar to his father when he was young. The father and son have a "copy and paste" feeling, except that Barron is taller. It is said that he has reached 6 feet 7 inches (about 2.01 meters). ).
After getting out of the car, Barron reached out to protect his father. It was obvious that the young man took great care of his elderly father.
Trump often emphasizes that he is full of energy. Just the day before, he said that he hardly felt tired and said that he is now "in the state of 35 years old." Despite this, in the eyes of outsiders, he is really old, which is a natural process that he cannot resist.
Looking back on when Barron stood at his father's inauguration in 2017, he looked like a child and had a carefree feeling, but as he grew older, he became more and more profound.
After Trump won the Iowa primary, he excitedly mentioned his underage son, saying that the reason why Barron grew so tall was because he only ate food cooked by his grandmother. In addition, Trump also mentioned that although Barron is tall, he does not like basketball and prefers to play football.
Both the Trumps are very tall, but now that Barron is standing between his parents, his height is too obvious.
