<p>The Trumps are now being spotted in mask due to the advice from their political aides, experts believe. The sight of so many maskless people during the election campaigns and rallies of Trump and the heavy criticism faced by Trump over roaming mask-less in the country amid a surge of coronavirus cases, forced the Trump family to finally don face masks in order to avoid taking a hit because of this reason in the upcoming elections.</p>

<p>The US is one of the worst affected countries worldwide by coronavirus. On Sunday, the country reported over 61,000 cases, a third straight daily rise. As of Sunday, over 3.2 million infections were recorded with more than 134,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University data.</p>

<p>A former senior aide to Melania Trump&nbsp;has written an “explosive” memoir detailing her 15-year friendship with the first lady, according to reports.</p>

<p>Stephanie Winston Wolkoff was appointed as an unpaid adviser to the first lady shortly after Donald Trump won the 2016 election, and she played a high-profile role in helping Melania Trump transition into the White House.</p>

<p>But in February 2018, Winston Wolkoff was forced out after reports that her firm had received $26m in payments to help plan Trump’s lavish inauguration ceremony in 2017 and related events. At the time, Winston Wolkoff said the firm had “retained a total of $1.62m” that was divided among staff. She has since challenged the notion that she was dismissed and claimed that she was “thrown under the bus”.</p>

<p>Winston Wolkoff later cooperated with federal prosecutors in Manhattan who opened an investigation into whether Trump’s 2017 inaugural committee misspent some of the record $107m it raised from donations.</p>

<p>The book will be titled Melania and Me<em>,</em>&nbsp;and published by Gallery Books, an imprint of Simon &amp; Schuster, on 1 September, Vanity Fair reported.</p>

<p>The memoir will detail Winston Wolkoff’s time “navigating the White House and East Wing”, where first ladies have offices (the president works in the West Wing). It will also include her “journey from their friendship that started in New York to [Winston Wolkoff’s] role as the First Lady’s trusted advisor to her abrupt and very public departure, to life after Washington”, according to a description obtained by the magazine.</p>

Melania Trump visits Delhi government school; sits in "Happiness Class" initiative

<p>Recalling hid maiden visit to India, US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that he&nbsp;"never be excited about a crowd again".</p>

<p>On February 24, Trump visited India for the first time along with first lady Melania Trump. Both received a rousing welcome with over one lakh people participated in the "Namaste Trump" event in Ahemdabad.</p>

<p>Addressing a rally in South Carolina, the US president recalled the mega event at the Motera stadium and said, "In India, I hate to say this to you, they actually have a 129,000-seat stadium. Did you see it? The place was packed, and they did better than most."</p>

<p>"They gave me credit for 100,000. That was not bad. It's 129 (thousand)... The stadium holds 100 (thousand). They had a field that's about three times...It's cricket. It's the biggest stadium. And they had 129," he said.</p>

<p>Trump said he shared the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is a "great guy" and is "loved by people of India".</p>

<p>"We had an amazing thing. And I went in, and here's the problem. This is a big crowd and normally, I like talking about my crowd because I get the crowds like nobody. But, I just got back from 140 or 50 or 60,000 people and now I am coming here. What does this place hold, 15? It's hard to be enthused. You understand that?</p>

<p>"I may never be excited again about a crowd after going to India. Think of this, they have 1.5 billion people. We have 350, so we are doing pretty well, I will tell you what, but I love this crowd and I love that crowd too," the US president told his supporters.</p>

<p>Trump arrived in Ahmedabad&nbsp;on February 24 where he and Melania were given a grand reception. From Ahmedabad, he and his delegation travelled to Agra where they visited the Taj Mahal.</p>

<p>In the last leg of their visit, Trump and Melania visited New Delhi. The US President received a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday morning.</p>

<p>Following this, Trump held bilateral talks with&nbsp;Prime Minister Modi during which three agreements were finalised. The couple wrapped up their visit by attending a banquet hosted by President Ram Nath Kovind.</p>

Recalling hid maiden visit to India, US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that he "never be excited about a crowd again". On February 24, Trump visited India for the first time along with first lady Melania Trump. Both received a rousing welcome with over one lakh people participated in the "Namaste Trump" event in Ahemdabad. Addressing a rally in South Carolina, the US president recalled the mega event at the Motera stadium and said, "In India, I hate to say this to you, they actually have a 129,000-seat stadium. Did you see it? The place was packed, and they did better than most." "They gave me credit for 100,000. That was not bad. It's 129 (thousand)... The stadium holds 100 (thousand). They had a field that's about three times...It's cricket. It's the biggest stadium. And they had 129," he said. Trump said he shared the stage with Prime Minister Narendra Modi who is a "great guy" and is "loved by people of India". "We had an amazing thing. And I went in, and here's the problem. This is a big crowd and normally, I like talking about my crowd because I get the crowds like nobody. But, I just got back from 140 or 50 or 60,000 people and now I am coming here. What does this place hold, 15? It's hard to be enthused. You understand that? "I may never be excited again about a crowd after going to India. Think of this, they have 1.5 billion people. We have 350, so we are doing pretty well, I will tell you what, but I love this crowd and I love that crowd too," the US president told his supporters. Trump arrived in Ahmedabad on February 24 where he and Melania were given a grand reception. From Ahmedabad, he and his delegation travelled to Agra where they visited the Taj Mahal. In the last leg of their visit, Trump and Melania visited New Delhi. The US President received a ceremonial welcome at Rashtrapati Bhavan on Tuesday morning. Following this, Trump held bilateral talks with Prime Minister Modi during which three agreements were finalised.
