"We are honoured to be joined today by the First Lady of Nigeria, who also happens to serve as a Christian pastor at one of the largest churches in Nigeria. A very respected woman. First Lady, where are you? Thank you very much. It is a great honour to have you with us," Trump stated, prompting applause from the audience.
