WASHINGTON – Melania Trump isn't letting the coronavirus pandemic break a decadeslong tradition of first ladies visiting a Washington children's hospital at the holidays.
She planned her fourth and final holiday visit as first lady to Children's National on Tuesday, continuing a tradition begun more than 70 years ago by first lady Bess Truman.
The hospital tweaked the holiday program to safely accommodate the visit. The first lady will still sit in a chair in front of a towering Christmas tree in the hospital's atrium.
