China News Agency, Washington, August 26 (Reporter Chen Mengtong) The first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, appeared on the second night of the Republican National Congress on the 25th. In the Rose Garden of the White House, which was redesigned and renovated by herself, Melania gave a speech, not attacking her opponent, to build momentum for her husband's re-election campaign.

　　“Many people have lost their loved ones in this epidemic. I know many people are anxious and some feel helpless. I want you to know that you are not alone.” Melania said in her speech that the United States is still In the ongoing new crown epidemic, "COVID-19" is used to describe the new crown virus.

　　She said, "This invisible enemy has swept our beautiful country and affected all of us." "I express my deepest sympathy to all those who have lost their loved ones, and pray for those who are sick or suffering."

　　American public opinion gave positive comments on Melania's speech. The New York Times pointed out that the words of the first lady are in sharp contrast with her husband's words about the epidemic. In the two days since the opening of the Republican convention, other speakers have tried to ignore or even use "past tense" to describe the new crown epidemic.

　　The 50-year-old Melania is the second first lady born abroad in American history. She is a native of Slovenia. In 2005, she married Trump and naturalized the United States the following year.

　　In the speech that night, Melania also responded to the controversy over Trump from the perspective of his wife. "As you have seen in the past five years, he is not a traditional politician. He is not just talking. He asks for action, and he will get results."

　　Melania went on to say, "We all know that Donald Trump never hides his feelings about things." "Whether you like it or not, you always know what he is thinking." "If you tell him this is Impossible, he will only work harder."

　　Similar to the first night, the conference on the evening of the 25th also featured two appearances by President Trump: once when he signed an amnesty for a felony prisoner; once when he witnessed the immigrant naturalization ceremony at the White House.

　　In the nearly three-hour live television broadcast, the speaker lineup included a Maine shrimp catcher, a Wisconsin farmer and an Indian leader, as well as local officials such as Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds. Topics related to economy, anti-abortion, judicial reform, etc.

　　Before Melania's speech, Pompeo, who was visiting in Israel, expressed his support for Trump in a video speech. This move immediately caused controversy.

　　The US "Capitol Hill" stated that Pompeo broke the convention that the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Defense do not make political speeches at the bipartisan conference. Moreover, it was very inappropriate for him to participate in party activities during his overseas visits and official duties. The Foreign Affairs Committee of the US House of Representatives has announced an investigation into whether Pompeo's move violated the rules.

　　Whether it is Trump's "crowding" or Melania's speech, the Republican convention's practice of making the White House a "quasi-venue" in disguise has also been criticized. American public opinion generally doubted that this operation of the Republican Party has completely blurred the boundary between government and politics.

　　William Howell, a political scientist at the University of Chicago, pointed out that “all presidents challenge this boundary in different ways. But under the leadership of this administration, the distinction between the two has really been blurred. "(Finish)
