After the passing of Melania Trump’s mother, Amalija Knavs, President Donald Trump announced that the family would be celebrating her life.
President Trump wrote on Truth Social this week, “Just landed in West Palm Beach from New Hampshire, where the event and enthusiastic crowd was incredible. Will be back on Friday for big Rallies over the weekend.”
In addition, President Trump wrote about Knavs, saying, “Staying through Election Night, but today will be devoted to the funeral (Celebration!!!) of a GREAT WOMAN, ‘Babi,’ the Beloved Mother of Melania and Grandmother of Barron — And what a Woman she was!!!”
During his victory speech in Iowa, President Trump took a moment to make a touching tribute to his mother-in-law.
President Trump told the crowd, “I want to thank [Melania’s] incredible, beautiful mother who passed away a few days ago.”
He pointed to the sky and said, “She’s way up there. She’s looking down, and she’s so proud of us. I just want to say to her, ‘Amalija. You are special. One of the most special people I have ever known.”
President Trump finishes his tribute to her by saying, “ I just want to thank what she’s done for our family.”
