White House crowd laughed at Melania Trump's description of the President

First Lady Melania Trump's remarks about her husband's empathy prompted audience laughter during a White House event honoring military mothers ahead of Mother's Day.

Melania described President Donald Trump as "the strong commander-in-chief" whose "empathy transcends the role and shape of a caring leader, who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone's child."

The audience reaction drew immediate attention on social media, with commentators expressing skepticism about the characterization.
