The couple arrived more than an hour later than scheduled, prompting some frustration among attendees before Donald Trump\u2019s speech began.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"549\" data-end=\"936\">Melania, dressed in a brown bomber jacket and a white \u201cUSA\u201d cap that matched her husband\u2019s trademark red \u201cMAGA\u201d hat, took the stage to deliver brief remarks. She began her speech with an energetic \u201cHooyah, Navy!\u201d\u2014a salute familiar among sailors\u2014but the crowd\u2019s response was uneven. While some applauded, others appeared caught off guard, and social media quickly lit up with reactions.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"938\" data-end=\"1295\">Online, supporters praised Melania\u2019s enthusiasm, but critics called the moment awkward. Some users described the greeting as \u201ccringe,\u201d while others joked that the former first lady was \u201ctrying too hard to sound relatable.\u201d A few comments mocked her language skills, referencing past claims that she speaks multiple languages but rarely uses them publicly.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1297\" data-end=\"1687\">Despite the divided reaction, Melania continued her address, thanking service members for their dedication. \u201cGenerations of sailors have kept America free because of your presence on the high seas,\u201d she said. \u201cYour strength, bravery, and sacrifice inspire us all.\u201d While opinions differ on her greeting, the event ultimately honored the long-standing courage and service of the U.S. Navy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former First Lady Melania Trump and former President Donald Trump attended a ceremony at Naval Station Norfolk in Virginia on Sunday,
