The President later welcomed the First Lady to the stage, describing her as a "very special woman" who is "loved by all." He commended her work on the White House Rose Garden, which now has blooming flowers all over.

The First Lady spoke about motherhood, reminding mothers to prioritize well-being and nurture themselves. "Your strength is the bedrock of a brighter future for our children," she spoke. "By caring for ourselves, we empower the next generation to thrive."

Their recent joint appearance follows a report claiming that the First Lady has spent fewer than two weeks at the White House since President Trump's re-election. The couple are frequently seen at their other residences during weekends, including Trump Tower in Manhattan, the Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, and Mar-a-Lago in Florida.
