Reports about Melania Trump, the First Lady of the United States, have been few and far between during the coronavirus pandemic. Earlier this week, the FLOTUS was pictured arriving at a fire station, handing out lunches, as well as COVID-19 supplies such as masks and hand sanitiser. The former model was forced to abandon her ‘Be Best’ campaign that promotes youth welfare due to the killer virus.
This was after the majority of schools across the US closed as a result of state lockdowns.
Her most recent visit came amid civil unrest in several cities across America following the murder of George Floyd by a police officer.
While there, Melania echoed her husband’s message, that Washington supports all emergency service personnel.
She said: “The president and I will continue to support our dedicated firefighters, police members, EMS personnel and other critical first responders who put their lives at risk each day in order to keep our neighbourhoods safe.”
Melania was instead forced to settle for straightening her son’s tie and lovingly patting his head later in the day.
The embarrassing moment came shortly after he was spotted yawning during his father’s swearing-in ceremony.
The sleepy schoolboy caused a storm on social media when viewers noticed his bored expression.
One user wrote: “Inauguration was boring, low energy, small crowd compared to Obama’s.
“Best part was watching Barron’s continuous yawning.”
Another added: “Barron Trump is yawning more than I do in my macroeconomics class.”
While one commented: “Barron Trump is laughing, yawning, and on his Gameboy.
“He’s quickly becoming my favorite Trump.”
