Melania Trump visited families affected by wildfires in Los Angeles, where she showed compassion and connected personally with survivors. Speaking in Serbo-Croatian, a language close to her native Slovenian, she conversed with a woman who had lost her home. After exchanging greetings—“Good afternoon” and “How are you?”—Melania hugged the woman and offered words of encouragement. “You’ve lost everything? It will get better,” she reassured her.
The woman shared her journey to America and introduced her family to the First Lady. This interaction highlighted Melania’s multilingualism, as she speaks six languages: English, French, German, Italian, Slovenian, and Serbian.
Her ability to connect with people in their language and empathize with their struggles left a lasting impression during her visit.
