Who is more beautiful, Dr. Jill Biden or Melania Trump?
Presidential elections in the United States (US) will be held soon on November 3. The public was kept busy listening to the debate between Joe Biden from the Democratic Party and Donald Trump from the Republican Party. Many experts also consider the impact of this election on the US and the world globally. But what is no less interesting to note is the role and actions of the wives of the two candidates, Jill Biden and Melania Trump. One of the two, will soon become the first lady of the United States.
Jill Biden, not new to the White House
Professor Jill Biden is no stranger to US elite circles of power. In 2009-2017 she served as the wife of the US vice president, when her husband accompanied Barack Obama. Jill Biden was born as Jill Tracy Jacobs on June 3, 1951 in Hammonton, New Jersey. He spent most of his childhood in Pennsylvania with his parents and four younger sisters. When he was young, he had studied the fashion trade, but did not feel fit and decided to quit. Before marrying Joe Biden, Jill was married to Bill Stevenson. However, as quoted from the site biography.com, their marriage did not last long before they officially divorced. Jill, who was then majoring in English at the University of Delaware, decided to leave college. In order to raise an allowance during this time, Jill also worked as a model for a local agency.
"Restore broken families"
Jill was introduced to Joe Biden by Joe's older brother. At that time, several years earlier Biden's wife and little daughter had been killed in an accident. Joe Biden is a single parent to his two sons, Beau and Hunter.
Reminiscing about these times, Jill said in a speech at the Democratic National Convention on August 18, 2020 that “motherhood was my experience in ways I never expected. I fell in love with a man and his two sons who were standing on the rubble as a result of an unimaginable loss, ”said Jill. “Grieving for my wife and mother, daughter and sister. I never imagined, at the age of 26 years I would ask myself, how can you make a family that has been broken back together again? " said Jill. "We find that love brings families together. Love makes us flexible and resilient ... and although it can't protect us from the sadness of life, it gives us protection, a home." "How do you make a broken family whole? In the same way you make a nation whole: with love and understanding and with small acts of kindness."
Real educator
In 1993, after four of her friends were diagnosed with breast cancer, Jill Biden started the Biden Breast Health Initiative in Delaware, and educated more than 10,000 high school students about the importance of early breast cancer detection. Throughout her adult life, Jill was an educator with over three decades of career. Before moving to Washington, DC he taught English at the College Community in Delaware, at public high schools, and in a mental hospital for youth. Jill Biden obtained her Doctorate in Education from the University of Delaware in January 2007. Then, since 2009 she was appointed professor of English at Northern Virginia Community College. In the same year, her husband was appointed vice president of the United States after Barack Obama's victory in 2008. During her tenure as the wife of the vice president, Jill Biden actively supported the families of military personnel in the United States.
It took Melania 5 months to move to the White House
When her husband was inaugurated as president, images of Melania Trump circulating in the media sparked speculation that she was not very happy with her new role as first lady. In early 2017, the hashtag #freemelania had even circulated on Twitter as a call to release him from this role, and recently the hashtag #savemelania has circulated again.
The fact that Melania only moved to the White House five months after Trump was inaugurated did not help public speculation about her unhappiness. But the Trump family said the delay was because they wanted their son, Baron, to finish fifth grade in New York. Quoted from the whitehouse.gov site, Melania was born on April 26, 1970 in Slovenia. This makes her the second US first lady not to be born in the country. Besides Melania, there is President John Quincy Adams' wife named Louisa Catherine Johnson who was born in England.
Former model and businessman
At the age of 16, she started a modeling career and was very successful, appearing in many high-profile ad campaigns. In 1996 Melania moved to New York and 10 years later went through the naturalization process to become a citizen of the United States. Successfully pursuing a career as a model, Melania entered the business world and launched a line of jewelry products in 2010, as well as caviar-based skin care products in 2013.Compared to her predecessor first ladies, Melania looks different because of her quiet nature and personality who tends not to want to be the center of attention. . Reporting from the Business Insider page, Melania's friends describe her as a homebody who often says goodbye to events early.
"Melania fever" in Slovenia
In Slovenia, not many people still remember a young girl named Melanija Knavs, who was born in 1970. But when Trump became a presidential candidate and finally succeeded in being sworn in, Melania fever seemed to hit this small country in Europe. As quoted by the AFP news agency, a bakery on the main street of the city of Sevnica in Slovenia sells a piece of cake called "Melania" which can be enjoyed for three euros (about Rp.44,000). It is said that this delicious white chocolate cake filled with nuts and gold topping is a hit among the local population. There is also a "Melania" menu package offered by a local restaurant in one of the forest-covered hills around Sevnica. This menu sells local trout as the main dish. Meanwhile, another grocery store sells "Melania" pancakes with a mix of wild blueberries, vanilla cream, and, of course, golden sprinkles. The Trump family is reportedly unimpressed with the number of businesses that make up the “Melania” name. Later they hired lawyers in Slovenia to prevent their names and pictures from being used for sale without permission.
