Trump gives newly engaged couple six-word piece of advice if they want a lasting marriage
President Donald Trump shared some marriage advice while speaking at the White House on Monday. Walking around the historic White House Easter Egg Roll event on the south lawn of the presidential residence, the commander in chief was filmed shaking hands and speaking with attendees. During one of the interactions, the president was asked to share his marriage advice. The question seemingly came from Real America's Voice White House correspondent Brian Glenn, who is currently dating Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene. It came just after One America News journalist Daniel Baldwin greeted Trump and introduced his fiancé, Monica Luisi, a White House reporter for Turning Point USA. 'Nice to see you, sir, how are you?' Baldwin could be heard saying to the president. 'This is my beautiful fiancé.' Glenn, standing right next to the couple, asked if Trump had any advice for their upcoming matrimony. 'Make sure you like each other,' Trump said looking serious. 'If you don't, don't get married,' the president said while flashing a big smile before walking off to greet the next group of attendees. The clip, posted by Luisi on X, was captioned with: 'It's not everyday you get marriage advice from the President!' The two journalists got engaged in Washington, D.C., late in 2024, according to pictures posted on Luisi's Instagram account. The announcement caught the eye of many major MAGA voices. 'Oh my gosh! Congratulations you two!' Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt wrote on Luisi's December 2024 post celebrating the engagement. Former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and senior advisor for the U.S. Agency for Global Media Kari Lake also commented on the engagement photos. 'Congratulations Daniel!' Lake wrote. 'You are definitely an ultra MAGA catch!' Reacting to the marriage advice Trump gave Monday some X users noted that the president himself has been wed three times. First Lady Melania Trump, who played a central role at the celebration, put on a loving display with her husband. She walked around with him hand-in-hand and Trump gave his wife a peck on the cheek as the cameras flashed at the family-friendly event.

A maestro of sound and scents, Fabio Luisi breaks music and perfume down to their essence
'I smell a little bit of the Starbucks over there,' says Fabio Luisi, music director of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra (DSO), as we sat on a bench in the West Village shopping centre in the city in the US state of Texas. It is a brisk February morning, and Luisi – whose fine-tuned nose is as sharp as his ear – is being put to the test. Advertisement The coffee shop is about 50 yards (45 metres) away, but then we both notice a woman sitting on a nearby bench. She is drinking iced coffee. 'Ah yes,' Luisi says, in his light European accent. 'It is her.' A conductor is a wizard of sound , summoning harmony and drama from notes on a page. As the DSO's music director for the past five years, the 66-year-old Luisi has led the orchestra through world premieres and epic sonic journeys, like the four-part Ring Cycle, a series of Germanic operas by composer Richard Wagner so long and arduous that few, if any, orchestras in the 21st century have dared it in its entirety.

He is a perfumer who makes his own line of bespoke scents in a laboratory in Zurich, Switzerland, the home he does not live in much. Advertisement The fate of a maestro like Luisi, who won a 2013 Grammy for leading New York's Metropolitan Opera in the last two operas of the Ring Cycle, is to be forever in demand. He is also the principal conductor of orchestras in Tokyo in Japan and Denmark in addition to Dallas.
