Donald Trump made his first appearance onstage at the Republican National Convention Monday to introduce his wife, Melania, who spoke on behalf of her husband's campaign for president of the United States.
Trump, who has vowed to bring more of an entertainment feel to the convention as its nominee, walked out in silhouette before briefly introducing his wife.
"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."
Candidate Trump has been short on specifics, but his wife vowed he would make life better for people off all incomes and backgrounds.
Melania Trump mentioned her birth in then-Communist Slovenia and recognized the contributions of veterans, including former Sen. Bob Dole, who was in attendance, who suffered a lifelong disability from an injury in World War II.
As first lady, Melania Trump said she would focus on women and children.
"You judge society by how it treats its citizens," she said "We must do our best to ensure that every child can live in comfort and security with the best possible education."
