In a very unlikely scenario, Melania Trump has found a new fan base in China. Ever since Donald Trump took an oath to the Oval Office during his first term, Melania Trump has always been in the news. Whether it’s national or international media, everyone wants to know what’s going through her mind. Mrs. Trump is extremely tight-lipped about her views on politics. Whenever she expresses them, she is in stark contrast to her very conservative husband.
Her stance on imprisoning child immigrants and abortion rights has given her a celebrity status that is detached from Donald Trump. Due to this, she has a very unconventional fan following, especially in one of the eastern superpowers- China.
In China, the former first lady has gained popularity online, particularly among women. Several social media posts show appreciation for her independence, sense of style, and parenting of her teenage son.
Perhaps most significantly, she remained steadfast in her support of President Donald Trump in spite of his misogynistic remarks. Amidst claims of extramarital affairs and his conviction for sexual harassment in a civil lawsuit filed by a New York advice columnist, Melania’s silent support means a lot in China.
