Melania Mania

World news has had a lot of coverage lately around the new First Lady of the United States, Melania Trump. Frankly, this welcome coverage adds a bright spot to otherwise routine foreign visits.

Exhibiting a calm, steady demeanor with a desire to follow a more traditional role and her success story as a Slovenian immigrant has attracted admiration and respect around the world.

Traditionalists are saying this brand of First Lady is a throwback to the more refined styles of Nancy Reagan, Jackie Kennedy and the like. For many, her image is a reminder that decorum and demeanor are timeless qualities, both of which seem to be largely absent from today's anything-goes pop culture.

Even from afar, it seems we can all appreciate the breath of fresh air she brings to the White House. We look forward to reading about her initiatives for women and children and, of course, the interesting and innovative ideas she will sponsor during the course of her husband's administration.
