In his speech, Trump praised the First Lady’s support but couldn’t resist joking about her footwear. "I have a first lady who has been incredible. I shouldn’t say this. I’m going to get hell when I say this, but her feet are absolutely aching. You know, those heels," he quipped, referencing the 4-inch heels she wore as part of her inauguration ensemble.

Sharing a playful anecdote, Trump recounted how Melania asked about the distance they needed to walk after the ceremony. "Darling, I love you so much, but my feet are killing," she told him, he said. Trump said he humorously responded, "Oh, not that long, maybe four to five hundred yards." He added, "That’s five football fields. And I asked, 'Can you make it?' She said, 'We’re going to make it. No matter what, we’re going to make it.'"

The former president also joked about the windy conditions as they approached a helicopter. "The wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat that she’s wearing, she almost blew away," Trump said, laughing. "She was being elevated off the ground."

Trump’s light-hearted comments offered a glimpse of his dynamic with the First Lady, drawing smiles and laughter from the audience as he blended humor with admiration for Melania’s grace under pressure.
