Melania Trump's approval ratings have plummeted to -12, a notable drop from +3 in January 2025, placing her at the bottom of modern First Lady rankings. In a recent address, she denied any connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, stating, "The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today." She emphasized that she never had a relationship with Epstein and met her husband, Donald Trump, by chance at a party in 1998. Critics have pointed to various controversies, including her infamous 2018 jacket and the documentary *Melania: Twenty Days To History*, as factors contributing to her declining approval. Social media users have accused her of trying to cover up a significant Epstein-related issue, suggesting her recent comments were a preemptive move. This renewed scrutiny comes amid broader political tensions, including the Trump administration's handling of Epstein-related documents.
