This car carried Jacqueline Sauvage away from the Reau Prison, where she had been confined for the past 4 years. The 69-year-old French woman was convicted to 10 years in prison in 2012 after shooting her alcoholic and abusive husband three times in the back with his own hunting rifle the day after their son hanged himself. Their three daughters had testified that their father had physically and sexually abused them for years and the court heard testimony that Ms Sauvage had endured over 40 years of abuse at the hands of her former husband. French President Francois Hollande commuted part of Ms Sauvage's sentence earlier this year after a petition demanding a pardon for the abuse victim gathered over 400,000 signatures. He granted her a full pardon earlier today, succumbing to pressure from the public and from French celebrities.
On Friday, President Trump compared his wife to former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy. Trump made the comparison as he defended his decision to change iconic Air Force One paint job devised by the first lady in the 60s. Trump told "Fox & Friends” that he plans to replace the “baby blue” with a darker navy, and the gold stripe along the aircraft with one in red. "That was Jackie O and that's good, but we have our own Jackie O today, it's called Melania. We'll call it Melania T."
Jackie Kennedy redefined the role of the First Lady. Here are a few things you might not have known about her.
Jacqueline Lee Bouvier, better known as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, was born on July 28, 1929. When it comes to American history, she's remembered as one of the most iconic, influential, and admired First Ladies. Onassis is regarded for her poise, style, and intelligence, but according to Business Insider, there remain some lesser known facts about the former first lady. She was an accomplished equestrian by the time she was 11 years old. She also had a lifelong passion for the arts and architecture. She even led numerous successful campaigns to preserve and restore historic landmarks and architecture. Her first job out of college was as a journalist and later in life she wrote a weekly newspaper column called "Campaign Wife" while she was pregnant at home during JFK's 1960 presidential campaign. She met JFK, then a congressman from Massachusetts, at a dinner party in Georgetown, and the two reportedly hit it off immediately.
According to Business Insider, Donald Trump wants to redesign the official presidential planes because according to him, they don't look "American" enough. The color scheme of the Boeing 747s is currently blue and white, with a light brown and white lining, with the words "UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" emblazoned on it. It also has the official presidential seal near the stairs the president uses to disembark the plane. The current Air Force One was personally designed by President John F. Kennedy. Trump wants to recolor them red, white, and blue, and he wants to make his bed onboard bigger and more comfortable.
President Trump and the First Lady welcomed the King and Queen of Jordan to the White House on Monday. This follows Melania’s visit to Texas where she donned a controversial Zara jacket. The jacket had “I Really Don’t Care. Do U?” emblazoned on the back. For this appearance Melania wore a light pink leather Proenza Schouler wrap dress. According to Us Weekly the dress is currently sold-out but once retailed for $3,950.
