Melania Trump’s $2,000 heels and bold July 4 outfit went viral, sparking social media buzz and political backlash online.

But it’s the Fourth of July weekend, and the Trumps must celebrate maximally. On July 4 2025, Donald and Melania hosted an Independence Day picnic for the military and their families, after Trump signed his ‘big, beautiful’ bill into law there and then that included significant tax cuts, more defence spending, and a focus on stemming immigration.

Patients at the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., were all smiles when First Lady Melania Trump visited them Thursday. Trump visited the children ahead of the Fourth of July holiday as part of the "Be Best" initiative she established during President Donald Trump's first term.
