First Lady Melania Trump, in both of her husband’s terms, has frequently positioned herself as an advocate for women- something that many opponents of her husband, knowing his somewhat troubling history with women, have found somewhat laughable.

That continued on Thursday, when the White House put out a statement with the headline “First Lady Melania Trump Calls on Women to Be Courageous and Take Risks.” The purpose was to tout a White House event for Women’s History Month.

“The strength of America is closely tied to the role women play in shaping their children’s character, education, and morals. The values cultivated within our communities shape the voice and vision of our next generation,” the First Lady said in a quote shared by the White House.

“It is wonderful to see the White House filled with so many effective women today,” the First Lady’s speech said.

“The strength of America is closely tied to the role women play in shaping their children’s character, education, and morals. The values cultivated within our communities shape the voice and vision of our next generation.”

“To all of the young women, entrepreneurs, and future leaders: Make time for yourself, educate yourself daily, and spread your passion. Be courageous and take risks. Advance your profession through inspiration. Be a bold chief executive while keeping your family—if you choose so—at the center of our nation’s future,” Melania said, before introducing the president.

There were quite a lot of surprised reactions on social media to Melania’s account posting that particular statement.
