Serious bereavement in the family Melania Trumpwho lost his mother, the 78-year-old Slovenian-American, in the last few hours Amalija Knavs. It was the former First Lady herself who confirmed this to the press after some rumors unofficially followed each other, with a post published on Elon Musk's social network X: “Amalija was a strong woman who always had grace, warmth and dignity showed. She devoted herself entirely to her husband, daughters, grandson and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure. We will continue to honor and cherish her legacy.”
Melania Trump's words of affection and admiration for her mother, to whom she was always close, led to her living in the White House during her husband's presidency Donald Trump together with his father. Amalija Knavs maintained a close relationship with her daughter's husband, but also with one of her sons, Barron, who was particularly close to her grandmother. The first alarming rumors began circulating on New Year's Eve, when many noticed the absence of Melania Trump at the party organized by the former President of the United States at his Mar-a-Lago residence. Today, that absence is clear and justified, as the former first lady was at her mother's bedside to assist her in the last days of her life and remain as close to her as possible.
Even the President of the United States wanted to leave a memorial to Amalija Knavs on the day of her death: “This is a very sad night for the entire Trump family. Melania's tall and beautiful mother Amalija has just flown to a beautiful place in the sky. She was an incredible woman and will be missed beyond words.” The woman and her husband moved to the United States at the express request of their daughter and took the oath to obtain citizenship in 2018 under the presidency of Donald Trump.
