First Lady Melania Trump celebrated the end of a busy year on Monday by posting a checklist of her key accomplishments for 2025 on X, highlighting her focus on child welfare, online safety, education and international diplomacy during President Donald Trump’s second term.
The posts, shared from both her personal account and the official @FLOTUS account on December 29th, led with what many observers consider her signature achievement — the passage and signing of the Take It Down Act.
Signed into law by President Trump on May 19th this year in a Rose Garden ceremony where Melania also symbolically added her signature, the bipartisan legislation requires social media platforms to remove non-consensual intimate images — including revenge porn and AI-generated deepfakes — within 48 hours of a victim’s request.
It criminalizes the sharing of such content and builds directly on the First Lady’s “Be Best” initiative from the Trumps’ first term, which emphasized children’s well-being and cyberbullying prevention.
Melania actively championed the bill, making her first solo public appearance of the second term in March for a Capitol Hill roundtable and hosting survivors of online exploitation at the White House.
2025 Highlights
In her year-end post, the First Lady presented the following “success highlights”:
- Passed Legislation (Take It Down Act)
- Championed Executive Order (Fostering the Future for American Children & Families)
- Implemented National K-12 A.I. Program (Presidential AI Challenge)
- Hosted Task Force on A.I. Education (White House)
- Secured $25 Million for Foster Care Housing (HUD)
- Reunited Ukrainian & Russian Children & Families (World Peace)
- Launched Global Coalition at UNGA (Fostering the Future Together)
These efforts reflect Melania’s continued emphasis on protecting children from online harms, advancing AI education responsibly, supporting and reforming foster care, and promoting global child welfare.
