Donald Trump shares personal anecdote about Melania during Texas rally
During a campaign rally in San Antonio, Texas, Donald Trump shared personal anecdotes regarding his wife, Melania Trump. He claimed that she addresses him as ‘sir’ and noted that she has corrected his pronunciation of the word ‘vegan’. During the retelling of the anecdote, Trump used ‘he’ pronouns when referring to Melania.
The rally was held in support of Republican Senate candidate Ken Paxton. During his speech, Trump also targeted Democratic state representative James Talarico, accusing him of secretly following a vegan lifestyle. Talarico has denied these claims, stating he has consumed barbecue for many years, though he has previously commented on the importance of reducing meat consumption to combat climate change.
The Texas Senate race is currently highly competitive, with recent polls showing Talarico leading Paxton by narrow margins.
