Melania Trump, the wife of billionaire Republican White House hopeful Donald Trump, made a brief and rare campaign speech for her husband yesterday.

Mrs. Trump has often stood by her husband's side during his campaign appearances but has not spoken at the podium often.

She told a crowd of supporters in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that her husband is "fair" but that when he is attacked he will "punch back ten times harder".

Trump is campaigning for votes in Wisconsin, which holds its presidential nominating contest today.
