Since winning the 2016 election, opponents of President Donald Trump have relentlessly attacked him. Many were hoping that his first trip overseas would give them more to criticize. However, his visit to several countries appeared to go very well.

For example, Trump recently made history by becoming the first President to pray at one of Israel’s holiest sites. Some were concerned that when he went there with his wife, they would violate Jewish custom by praying together. But when they arrived, Melania decided to respect their custom and prayed separately.

During his trip to Israel, President Trump indulged his love of walls by visiting the Western Wall, one of the most sacred places in the country. While there, he prayed with his son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is an Orthodox Jew, and placed a prayer note inside a crack in the wall. In addition to Kushner, Trump was accompanied by Western Wall Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz.

Due to Jewish customs, the wall is segregated by sex. Men pray by one part of the wall and women pray by the other. Since Melania didn’t cover her head in Saudi Arabia, many ultra-orthodox Jews were worried that she would also ignore Jewish customs and not pray separately from Trump.

However, this did not happen. Once there, Melania made sure to avoid controversy by praying at the separate, smaller, women’s section of the wall with the rabbi’s wife, Yael Rabinowitz, and Trump’s eldest daughter, Ivanka. Doing so helped further solidify our relationship with the Jewish state.

Images of their visit left many speechless. Those who managed to bring themselves to speak largely praised the First Lady. They also spoke highly of Ivanka, who converted to Judaism prior to marrying Kushner. Her experience was much more emotional than Melania’s. After praying at the wall, she appeared deeply moved and wiped tears from her eyes. She later tweeted, “it was deeply meaningful to visit the holiest site of my faith and to leave a note of prayer.”

Trump’s visit to Israel was part of a larger international trip. Before going there, he spent some time in Saudi Arabia, where he received an extremely warm welcome. According to Ann Coulter, a well-known conservative thinker, they embraced Trump because they consider him an “alpha male,” unlike Obama, who she says is a “beta male.”

Specifically, she claimed that “because [Trump] is a strong alpha male leader, the Arabs respect him,” adding, “They don’t respect the beta male Obama. And you see that. He’s getting a warmer reception.” She believes that the Saudis like the fact that Trump is assertive, dominant, and confident, which is something Obama wasn’t. She claims they think these characteristics are indications of strength, which is something they have a deep respect for.

After Israel, Trump headed over to Rome, Italy to meet with Pope Francis. In the past, Francis criticized his stance on immigration. “A person who thinks only about building walls, wherever they may be, and not building bridges, is not Christian. This is not the gospel,” he claimed, suggesting that Trump was not a true Christian for wanting to make our country safer.

Unsurprisingly, when the Pope said this, Trump immediately pushed back. In a statement, he responded, “no leader, especially a religious leader, should have the right to question another man’s religion or faith.” Despite their past differences, Trump’s visit to Rome was also a huge success. While there, the two focused on discussing terrorism and global warming to figure out how they can best work together.

Trump’s trip also happened to be an extremely religious one. He visited with Muslim leaders in Saudi Arabia, Jewish leaders in Israel, and Catholic leaders in Italy, proving that he’s accepting of all faiths. Hopefully, he can use these relationships to his advantage and broker peace in the Middle East.

While many on the left despise President Trump, it’s difficult for them to find much wrong with his wife Melania. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Most of what she does is actually praised. Trump should keep this in mind and make sure she continues to be involved with his administration.
