Donald Trump made a brief appearance at the opening night of the Republican National Convention in Cleveland Monday to introduce his wife Melania, who gave a speech that touched on her upbringing in then-Communist Slovenia, paid tribute to veterans, and highlighted her husband's strengths.
"He's tough when he has to be, but he's also kind and fair and caring," Melania Trump said of her husband. "Yes, Donald thinks big, which is especially important when considering the presidency of the United States. No room for small thinking. No room for small results. Donald gets things done."
