She painted her husband's weaknesses as strengths when she argued for President Trump's bid for a second term

Speech was designed to appeal to female voters 

'Whether you like it or not, you always know what he's thinking, and that is because he is an authentic person who loves this country and its people,' Melania Trump said of her husband

She addressed the areas where female voters rate him as weak, the coronavirus pandemic and race relations 

She humbly asked for four more years in the White House

'I know I speak for my husband and the family when we say we're so grateful that you trusted him to be your president. We would be honored to serve this incredible country for four more years,' she said 

Melania Trump painted her husband's weaknesses as strengths when she argued for President Donald Trump's bid for a second term in a speech designed to appeal to female voters on Tuesday night - but also spoke at length on race and coronavirus, setting a strikingly different tone from her husband.

She painted herself as a wife and a mother during her 26-minute remarks, which outlined the reasons women should vote for President Trump in November and addressed the areas where female voters rate him as weak, the coronavirus pandemic and race relations.

And unusually she intervened directly in unfolding events, as violence flared for a second night in Kenosha, WI, in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, left paralyzed after being shot seven times in the back.
