Melania is the only first lady from a Communist country
Melania was born in Slovenia. At the time of her childhood, Slovenia was a part of the former country of Yugoslavia, which was a Communist country. She grew up in the small town of Sevnica, where many of the townspeople were not particularly well off financially. Despite this, people knew Melania, or Melanija Knavs (as she was called then), was “always very fancy” and someone who never wore clothes from typical stores.
