Melania Trump Celebrates 55th Birthday Amid Pope's Funeral

Melania Trump celebrated her 55th birthday on April 26, which coincided with the funeral of Pope Francis, leading her and President Trump to mark the occasion with a meal aboard Air Force One while en route to Rome. President Trump described it as a 'working birthday' and admitted he had little time to buy gifts, a pattern that has characterized his unconventional approach to his wife's birthday celebrations in previous years. Past gifts have ranged from skipping presents entirely to turning the occasion into campaign events, such as televised shout-outs or fundraising appeals. Despite the unusual nature of these celebrations, Melania remains a visible and supportive presence alongside her husband during significant events. The couple's public handling of birthdays reflects both the demands of political life and President Trump's unique style. Melania's role as First Lady and her personal milestones continue to attract public and media attention.
