First Lady Melania Trump made a rare appearance at the White House on May 8, 2025, participating in two significant events. She joined President Donald Trump in hosting a celebration for military mothers ahead of Mother's Day, where she honored the mothers of American heroes with a speech emphasizing their 'unwavering love' and the 'extraordinary journey' filled with 'sacrifice, determination, loss, and healing.' Later in the day, Melania Trump unveiled a new stamp dedicated to former First Lady Barbara Bush, who passed away in April 2018. The ceremony, held in the East Room of the White House, was attended by officials from the United States Postal Service and the George and Barbara Bush Foundation, as well as friends and family of the Bushes. Barbara Bush's daughter, Doro Bush, was expected to attend, though former President George W. Bush was not present. George H.W. Bush, Barbara's husband, died in November 2018. These public appearances come amidst reports that Melania Trump has spent fewer than 14 days at the White House since her husband's inauguration 108 days ago, spending most of her time away from Washington at Trump Tower in Manhattan and Mar-a-Lago in Florida. Melania Trump has used her public airtime to endorse the Take It Down Act, aimed at criminalizing nonconsensual, explicit images created by artificial intelligence, known as deepfakes. She has also made appearances at the International Women of Courage Awards, Pope Francis' funeral, and the White House Easter Egg Roll.
