On Monday, First lady Melania Trump lashed out at her critics in a statement. This is her first public remarks since last Wednesday's violent siege of the Capitol building by her husband's loyalists. Melania expressed sympathy for those who died during or from injuries sustained amid last Wednesday's riot. Business Insider reports she named each of the individuals. She misspelled the name of one rioter killed by Capitol Police. Melania lifted a line from her speech last August at the Republican National Convention.
Mar-a-Lago is President Donald Trump's private club in Palm Beach, Florida. Business Insider reports that Mar-a-lago is the First Family's "gilded getaway." It's where the Trumps are widely speculated to retreat to following Trump's exit from office. Trump's neighbors aren't thrilled at the prospect of the former President moving in next door. The luxe property was closed for about 57 days amid the coronavirus pandemic. It has previously hosted visitors like the prime minister of Japan.
First lady Melania Trump wanted to spread some seasonal cheer to sick children on Tuesday when she visited the Children's National Hospital. CNN reports she continued her annual tradition of visiting them, despite the coronavirus pandemic and record cases in Washington, DC. However, Mrs. Trump also broke the hospital's stated mask policy when she removed her mask to read a holiday book to children. While she arrived in the hospital's main atrium wearing a mask, she removed it when she took her seat in front of a tree. She did practice social distancing. However, the hospital's policy specifically requires all visitors to wear a mask.
