Former First Lady Melania Trump made an unannounced speech at her husband’s campaign rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday in a rare appearance on this year’s campaign trail.
She began by referring to the audience as “the heartbeat of this great metropolis” and describing New York City as “our hometown—where architectural symbols of strength, courage, and unity create a canvas for the world’s undisputed capital of industry.”
“Where titans of finance, fashion, and entertainment convene among an iconic range of superior design, structures, and artistic accomplishments,” she said.
In her remarks, Melania Trump discussed “the decline in the quality of life” in New York City and linked it to “economic instability” that she said has made it difficult for businesses to thrive.
She stated that “crime is on the rise” in the city and that public safety has “diminished,” though she did not provide any details. She also praised the city for producing “America’s most fearless leaders.”
“New York City and America need their magic back,” she said. “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.”
Melania Trump wrapped up her speech by introducing her husband, former President Donald Trump, to the crowd, calling him “our next commander-in-chief” as he made his way to the stage, where he hugged his wife and kissed her on the cheek.
The former first lady rarely attends public campaign events alongside her husband. In July, she attended the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee and stood alongside Trump, the Republican presidential nominee, but did not give a speech.
