Her husband, however, the purported Leader of the Free World, showed that his wife is the person who leads by example, cited by the Huffington Post.
Said to be on a 17-day "working vacation" at one of his privately-owned golf resorts, according to White House statements, US President Donald Trump did not get around to responding to what has become the most high-profile organized racist action in the US in decades, tweeting well after a state of emergency had been declared by Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, that, "We ALL must be united & condemn all that hate stands for."

It appears that the First Lady, an immigrant herself, could be one to look to in times of crisis.
