Atglen: US First Lady Melania Trump said President Donald Trump is a fighter. He loves the country and he fights for you every single day, she said supporters of the President Trump in Pennsylvania, a key battle ground in his rival Joe Biden.

She hit the campaign trail on Tuesday for her president husband for the first time on her own this year, praising him as a “fighter” and offering support to pandemic victims. Melania Trump has been only a rare presence at her husband’s campaign events, but won praise for her speech at the Republican Party’s nominating convention in August. Her plans to hit the trail with her husband last week were thwarted due to a “lingering cough” from her battle with the Covid- 19, which struck the first couple and son Barron.

She also said on Tuesday “Thank you for all the love and support you gave us when our family was diagnosed with Covid-19”, “We are feeling so much better now”.  She offered compassion to families of the more than 225,000 Americans who have succumbed to Covid so far this year. “I know there are many people who have lost loved ones or know people who have been forever impacted by this silent enemy,” she said. “My family’s thoughts and prayers are with all of you through this difficult time,” she added. “We will triumph over this virus”. In her speech, she offered a few comments about her husband’s rabid Twitter use.
