Does Melania Trump really speak five languages as her husband presumes?
The keys that unleash doubts about this "ability" of the First Lady
President Donald Trump boasted in 2016 that his wife, Melania Trump, speaks five languages: Slovenian, English, Italian, French and German.
However, there are no public reports confirming that the First Lady is fluent in languages other than her original language and her English.
It is even noted that during her visit to the Vatican, Pope Francis asked her how she fed President Trump, she did not understand the questioning in Italian, they had to tell him in English.
The Snopes portal, which is dedicated to verifying information, published an article in which it determined that the claim that Melania Trump is multilingual is "uncertain", that is, difficult to prove, unless she speaks those languages in front of everyone.
What the website points out is that the former model was born in Slovenia, which was previously part of Yugoslavia; she worked as a model in several European countries before arriving in New York in 1996. In 2001 she obtained Permanent Residence through what is known colloquially as the “Einstein visa”, a “green card” granted to immigrants with extraordinary abilities. . In 2006 she was naturalized.
"She has given several interviews and speeches in English because of her role as an American public figure, but we have found little evidence documenting her fluency in any language other than English and her mother tongue," the report said.
Another case related to the Italian indicates that in Rome, the First Lady she visited a children's hospital, where she only expressed some "rudimentary phrases", while she apparently spoke English with the children the rest of the time.
