The former first lady, 54, spoke about a "decline in quality of life coupled with economic instability" making it difficult for businesses to thrive. "Crime is on the rise while public safety diminishes creating an environment where families with young children choose to relocate, and this story repeats itself from coast to coast across our nation. This is America," Melania said. "For generations, this town has produced America's most fearless leaders whose mark changed the course of the world."

A country of tomorrow that will shape our future and reset expectations for the generations, and vision a wonderful America where the seeds of security, prosperity and health are sewn once again for benefit of our families," she continued. "Let us charge together with a shared vision that builds on American greatness. Let's [seize] this moment and create a country for tomorrow, the future that we deserve. And now, please welcome our next commander-in-chief, my husband, President Donald J. Trump."

Last month, the former first lady opened up to Fox & Friends co-host Ainsley Earhardt about what she loves most about her husband. "His being. His humor. His personality. His kindness," she said.
"He's very special," Melania added. "His positivity. His energy. It's unbelievable. Yeah, so we have a beautiful relationship."
