Trump springs news on Melania that she will give two or three 'big' speeches

To Melania Trump’s apparent surprise, Donald Trump announced Thursday that his wife would be making two or three “big,” “important” speeches.

Speaking alongside the Republican presidential nominee during a sit-down interview broadcast Thursday morning on “Good Morning America,” Melania Trump said she fully supports her husband.


“And I’m there for him every time he needs me. And I might join him,” she said, referring to the campaign trail as Election Day nears. “We will see.”

“She’s actually going to make two or three speeches,” Donald Trump announced.

“Oh,” a startled Melania Trump interjected, prompting ABC’s George Stephanopoulos to observe he “made some news right there.”

“Well, it is. It’s, it’s — she’s amazing when she speaks,” Donald Trump said. “She’s an amazing public speaker so she’s agreed to do two or three speeches, and I think it’s going to be big speeches, important speeches, and I think it’s gonna be great.”

The GOP nominee also claimed during a North Carolina rally in August that Melania Trump would hold a news conference over her immigration history. But with less than two weeks until Election Day, she has yet to hold the news conference. Even Donald Trump has gone more than 90 days without holding a news conference, though he has in recent days done a number of local TV and radio interviews.
