chaetodon argentatus , the asian butterflyfish , is a species of butterflyfish native to the western pacific ocean from the philippines up to japan .

they live in coral reefs where there is dense coral growth , however , in japan they live in rocky areas from depths from 15-70 ft. they grow up to eight inches ( 20 cm ) .

- the lifespan for most of the chaetodon species is between 5 - 7 years , but this species subsist only for a short period of time as its dietary needs are very difficult to meet .
chaetodon dolosus ahl 1923 , the african butterflyfish . found from the horn of africa ' s east coast to the southern tip . to about five inches long . also found at the island of mauritius .
chaetodon assarius waite 1905 , the west australian butterflyfish . a rare beauty outside the land down under , where it ' s found all along the west coast . generalized feeder on algae and zooplankton . to five inches total length .
another butterflyfish i had very good success with was the black pearl butterflyfish chaetodon argentatus . although not too colorful , it took a variety of foodstuffs including flake foods , and really enjoyed an occasional meal of fortified adult brine shrimp , as did many of my other butterflyfish . it also seemed to like picking on various forms of algae . the only thing i did not like about this species , which was given to me by another aquarist not wanting it any longer , was that it would tend to occasionally chase smaller tankmates . it was maintained in a 320 - gallon fish - only environment with rocky aquascaping and proved to be very disease resistant .
there were some butterflies that i tried and did not have what i would call very good success with , e . g . , chaetodon ephippium , c . collare , and c . ocellatus . as for the spotfin chaetodon ocellatus , i initially had some difficulty in getting this atlantic ocean species to feed , but once settled in , it proved to be a good tankmate and even took flake food . however , it took black worms and fortified adult brine shrimp to get it to settle down . the pakistani butterflyfish chaetodon collare proved to be a difficult fish to get feeding , and even then remained quite picky when it came to mealtime . another that proved to be somewhat troublesome was chaetodon ephippium , the saddled butterflyfish . it was a quite young specimen and also proved to be quite picky when it came to mealtime . it even turned up its nose at black worms ! even though these three species required more care , e . g . , numerous feeding per day , they were well worth the effort .
the blackbacked butterflyfish chaetodon melannotus was another species i kept in this same fish - only environment , as it was not suited for reef systems . it was well behaved , accepted a wide variety of foodstuffs and also proved to be hardy and disease resistant .
these exquisite fish including the arabian butterflyfish , chaetodon melapterus , are extremely easy to keep as long as you can supply them with an endless buffet of live coral polyps . that translates into these fish being extremely impractical , and therefore off limits for standard aquarium husbandry practices .

there are some other ‘good’ butterflies that should be considered , and they are chaetodon auripes , c . blackburnii , c . burgessi , c . capistratus , c . decussatus , c . kleinii , c . mertensii . c . mesoleucos , c . mitratus , c . speculum , c . vagabundis , and c . wiebeli ( a good reef aquarium species ) .
in one sense , this makes fish like the arabian butterflyfish a sort of forbidden fruit for saltwater fish keepers . along with similar species of obligate corallivore butterflyfish such as chaetodon meyeri , c . larvatus , c . ornatissimus and many others , the arabian butterflyfish is better left out in the sea no matter how much you think your aquarium skills and special blend of tlc will entice these fish to eat .

chaetodon auriga forsskal 1775 , the threadfin butterflyfish . a great beauty and hardy aquarium specimen , though it will eat coral polyps and anemones . see other materials on this species by clicking on name . widespread indo - pacific . a juvenile ( about an inch and a half long ) in n . sulawesi , an auriga b / f in hawai ' i , and a red sea one w / o the rear dorsal area eyespot .
another easy to maintain and probably well suited for the new aquarist is the lemon butterflyfish chaetodon miliaris . the species hails mostly from hawaii , insuring it’s not cyanide caught . besides being a good tankmate , it’s a very pretty fish and took a wide variety of meaty foods . i found it to be hardy and disease resistant and maintained it in a 75 - gallon fish - only aquarium where it proved to be a good community fish .
the last chaetodon genus species that i had good results with was c . rafflesi , which is called the latticed butterflyfish . this was another species given to me because a fellow aquarist was closing down his aquarium and moving out of state . it actually went into this same fish - only tank containing some other butterflies . it got along well with all its tankmates and took a wide variety of meaty foods . in fact , it was ‘almost’ always first into the dish containing the black worms .
another that i would recommend to new aquarists is the raccoon butterflyfish , chaetodon lunula . i’ve kept three in a 125 - gallon general invertebrate system with lot of mushrooms . they liked various meaty foods , including black worms . and found them especially fond of aiptasia anemones ! they also seemed to like swimming in and out of caves and crevices and would sometimes retreat to these areas when there were a lot of aquarium viewers . i found them fairly easy to acclimate and to get them feeding , besides being quite hardy .
the chevron butterflyfish has the typical butterflyfish shape , though is a bit more elongated . its body is oval and laterally compressed and it has a protruding snout tipped with a small mouth . the dorsal fin is continuous and it has a truncated tail fin . this species can reach a total length of about 7 inches ( 18 cm ) in the wild , but most available specimens available are less than 4 1 / 3 inches ( 12 cm ) . the lifespan for most of the chaetodon species is between 5 - 7 years , but these fish subsists only for a short period of time the home aquarium as their necessary nutrients are extremely difficult to provide .
and when it comes to butterflies not suited for the average home aquarium , there are many ! what’s so sad about this is that they are probably the most beautiful in their family . unfortunately , some of these species that either feed exclusively or mostly on live corals , are sometimes available in local shops . to say they are tempting additions to your tank would be an understatement ! nevertheless , the following are only some that should either be left in the wild or maintained by professional aquarists that are willing to provide their particular nutritional needs along with the water quality these beautiful fish deserve . these would include , but not be limited to : chaetodon meyeri , c . melapterus , c . triangulum , c . ornatissimus , c . baronessa , c . octofasciatus , c . larvatus , c . austriacus , c . bennetti , c . citrinellus , c . flavirostris , c . lunulatus , c . multicinstus , c . ocellicaudus , c . trifascialis ,

thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on the iucn red list of threatened species website , we are grateful for your input .
justification : this species has a relatively small distribution and lives on coral and rocky reefs . coral reef degradation has occurred within its distribution , but this species does not appear to be impacted by major threats . this species is listed as least concern .
this western pacific species is distributed from southern japan ( ryukyu islands and izu islands ) as far south as the northern philippines and east to the island of taiwan ( allen 1980 , pyle 2001 , g . r . allen pers . comm . 2006 ) . it is found at depths of five to 20 m .
it is generally common with stable populations ( g . r . allen pers . comm . 2006 ) . in japan it is reported to be common from tanabe bay ( southern honshu ) southward ( allen 1980 ) .
inhabits outer coral or rocky reef slopes and drop - offs ( pyle 2001 , g . r . allen pers . comm . 2006 ) . in the japanese part of its range it is found over rocky areas , but farther to the south it is associated with coral reefs ( allen 1980 ) . it is generally encountered in pairs or small aggregations ( allen 1980 ) . it is an omnivorous species .
pyle ( 2001 ) reported that this species is occasionally exported through the aquarium trade . allen ( 1980 ) notes that this species is hardy in captivity with imports from the philippines and hong kong being common .
there appear to be no major threats to this species . collection is limited and is not considered to be impacting the global population . there is some habitat degradation within the range of this species .
there appear to be no species specific conservation measures in place . this species is believed to be present within a number of marine protected areas . research on its natural history is recommended .

so many times when we see aberrant or hybrid reef fish it’s in the setting of an aquarium livestock dealer . so it’s always a nice surprise to see some of these animals being spotted in their natural environment , and gt divers of japan is bringing us another neat one .
while still small the pattern of this hybrid’s parents isn’t completely developed yet but you can see the shadowy hints of the two dark saddles of the silver butterflfyfish , while the dark posterior patch has hints of yellow - orange from the cross hatch butterflyfish . while not quite on the same level as the jaw - dropping hybrids we see in from angelfish , it’s still fun to document all the different ways reef fish can cross breed .

the arabian butterflyfish is a piscine so stunningly gorgeous , but we daren’t look directly at it lest we succumb to its spell . among the thousands of reef fish species , there is a certain group of extremely beautiful butterflyfish which are obligate corallivores – this means that as far as we know , they only eat corals .
that being said , we used to believe the same thing about moorish idols , cleaner wrasses , many anthias species and for many years stony corals were “impossible to keep” alive in an aquarium , let alone grow and thrive and propagate . it is with this historical hindsight in perspective that we are thrilled to have come across a recent video showing several of the illustrious black and gold coral - eating arabian butterflyfish feeding in an aquarium .
a gorgeous pair of arabian butterflyfish in the red sea . photo by keith wilson
the video evidence of the striking arabian butterflyfish eating prepared foods is “proof” that this species can be enticed to eat food from the water column , but we have no information on precisely what this fish is eating , or how long they have been doing so . the fish in focus are on the smaller side , which is pretty much common knowledge when one wants to acclimate wild ornamental fish to aquarium life .
there is also a huge unknown as to whether there are certain unique nutritional properties of live coral polyps that coral eating butterflyfish have adapted to need in their diet – even if the fishes eat all the frozen food in the world , we won’t know if this is a suitable diet until the fish lasts for years in the aquarium and shows at least some degree of growth .
please don’t rush out and buy any of the obligate corallivore butterflyfish species just because you saw this video , or any other anecdotal or superficial evidence that this group of fish is suddenly possible to keep alive . if you want to try your hand at butterflyfish in the aquarium , know which species are ideal and which ones should be avoided .
that being said , we hope to learn more about the background of this video from japanese saltwater fish retailer , sps crownfish , especially what food they were offering and what their general experience and success has been in keeping the arabian butterflyfish alive in captivity over the long term .
these marine fish belong in the order perciformes and suborder percoidei as members of the family chaetodontidae ( butterflyfish ) , which contains 13 genera and almost 130 species , both described and yet undescribed .
this is a very large family , and probably contains the most colorful marine fish to be found in the wild . they are laterally compressed disc - shaped fish and most don’t get overly large , as most don’t exceed 6 inches ( 15 cm ) . besides size and coloration , they generally make good community fish . nevertheless , many require excellent water quality and some are difficult to feed , as their diet consists mostly of live foods such as coral polyps and crustaceans .
most appear to do better near the higher level of their species temperature range and also seem to do better in specific gravity levels found in most reef systems , i . e . , 1 . 025 than what is found in most fish - only systems ( about 1 . 022 – 1 . 023 ) . if possible , it is better to attain most of them as juveniles , as there is a greater chance they will adapt to available aquarium foods .
in the many different style marine aquariums that i have kept over the past forty years , there’s only a few that i would recommend to new aquarists , and about a dozen more to experienced aquarists . most others should be left in the wild , or at a minimum , be maintained only by professional aquarists .
as for those that i would recommend to new aquarists , the yellow longnose butterflyfish forcipiger flavissimus would be fairly high on my list . it does well in mixed company and feeds on a variety of foods , including flake foods . i’ve never attempted to keep more than one in the same aquarium as i’ve always heard that they would fight among themselves . but in large aquaria , such as something above 125 gallons with many hiding places , i would think it possible to successfully maintain more than one in the same tank . i found its favorite food to be black worms , which i would place in an old plastic butter dish weighted down with a small rock , and then slowly lower into the aquarium’s water and placed on the aquarium bottom . the yellow longnose would then swim into the high - rimmed dish and eat its fill of worms . the dish simply kept the worms , which died as soon as they entered the saltwater , from getting blown all over the aquarium . in fact , it was always the meeting place for most of the fish in the aquarium where the biggest ruled at dinnertime ! besides being fairly disease resistant , these fish were usually reasonably priced .
the third that i would recommend to new aquarists is the longfin bannerfish heniochus acuminatus , and / or the schooling bannerfish h . diphreutes . if the choice were h . acuminatus , i would limit their use to fish - only systems , as it is said they can be destructive in reef systems . for invertebrate systems , h . diphreutes would be a better choice . as for h . acuminatus , i’ve kept five in a 75 - gallon fish - only system , making for an excellent display . in fact , some viewers thought them moorish idols ! and they ate just about any food i put in the aquarium , as flake food and various meaty foods were quickly gobbled up .
one of my favorites was the copper - banded butterflyfish chelmon rostratus . i’ve kept this species in several reef tanks , and never had any serious problems with it . it is said to be prone to lymphocystis , however , never experienced that malady with any of my specimens . could be that their environments were quite stress free and that virus never appeared in my aquariums . they ate almost all type foods including various flake foods . however , they really liked black worms ! it also kept those aquariums free of aiptasia anemones .
if you would like more information on various species and / or want to view the worlds most recent organization ( august 2004 ) of the entire butterflyfish family , visit my website at www . saltcorner . com . i want to personally thank those involved with this reclassification , i . e . , vincent hargreaves ph . d . , and those assisting him such as john randall , frank schneidewind , peter wirtz , and hiroyuki tanaka for their dedication to perfection , and for allowing my website to be the “first in the world” to post it !

i have a green moray eel that is just too big now , does anyone have a huge tank . . . . 400 + gallons ?
is a handsome fish known and named for its beautiful diagonal chevron design . it is one of the more elongate butterflyfish in the genus . yet it is moderate in size , reaching a total length of only about 7 inches ( 18 cm ) . this is a striking species with its elegant form , graceful swimming movement , and alluring colors .
the silverish white body is touched with yellow around the perimeter and there is a broad dark band running through the eye and another on the tail . but its primary feature is the numerous chevron - patterned lines . these decorative markings have led to a number of common names including triangulate butterflyfish , v - lined butterflyfish , rightangle butterflyfish , and chevroned butterflyfish . also because this pretty butterflyfish is found in its natural habitat swimming among table corals of the
although this fish is occasionally available and reasonably priced , it is one of the most difficult butterflyfish to keep in a captive environment . like most butterflyfish they are corallivorous , but they take it a step further . they are obligatory coral eaters , meaning this is where they get the bulk of their nutrition . these types of fish have a specialized diet that poses a difficult problem for the aquarist as providing a coral diet is quite expensive and challenging .
their specialized diet is difficult to reproduce in the aquarium and makes them very difficult to keep . they are only suitable for an expert aquarist . though some individuals will accept substitute foods such as brine and mysid shrimps , they will subsist only for a short period of time without all their necessary nutrients . fortunately there are some species of butterflyfish that are quite similar in appearance and easier to keep . one of these is its close relative the
this fish it is quite active and will swim freely in the open water , but it also spends time hiding in cracks and crevices where it will lie motionless . it does need a more spacious aquarium than other butterflyfish of similar size . it also needs larger furnishings like table corals where it can hide or keep motionless as well as open areas to swim . as it is fond of the live polyps of stony and soft corals , it can not be recommended for a reef - type setting . this species is a somewhat aggressive fish . it is territorial and will be aggressive towards other members of its own kind , and sometimes other butterflyfish . but it can be kept with larger and rather territorial angelfish like
undersea video taken in coral gardens about 5 meters underwater . the spots two chevron butterflyfish hiding amongst some corals and follows one for a short period of time as it darts up and around the corals . both specimen present wonderful and healthy coloring and body shape .
was described by quoy and gaimard in 1825 , and was first collected in guam . they are found in the indo - west pacific oceans ; red sea , african coasts to southern japan , new caledonia , hawaiian and society islands and rapa . rare in hawaii . other common names they are known by include triangulate butterflyfish , v - lined butterflyfish , chevroned butterflyfish , rightangle butterflyfish , table - coral butterflyfish , and acropora butterfly .
this species is on the iucn red list as near threatened ( nt ) . this butterfly fish is heavily dependent on a coral diet . it has experienced declines in populations from 20 to 37 % due to losses in coral reefs . substantial declines have been noted especially in the species
, which is one of about 15 corals it is known to feed on . most of these corals are themselves listed as near threatened ( nt ) or vulnerable ( vu ) .
their natural habitat is in hard coral rich areas of outer reef slopes , lagoons , and coastal reefs at depths between ( 1 - 30 meters ) , though most are found in the shallower waters of that range . adults are solitary and territorial . an adult specimen is typically seen alone , patrolling an established territory that often contains one or more table corals of the
species . females will have a smaller territory than males . in one area of okinawa they exhibit a harem type behavior with the males territory encompassing that of two or three females . juveniles are observed alone or in a small group in shallower waters , often among branches of
is white overall with numerous chevron - patterned lines throughout on the side , except for the chest area . it is yellowish at the pectoral fin base and the eye has a dark band edged by yellow or white .
the dorsal fin is yellow , edged by blue with a black sub - marginal line posteriorly , and slightly duskier centrobasally of the fin . the anal fin is also yellowish , edged by blue with a black sub - marginal line . the caudal fin is black with a yellow margin and a narrower yellow edge on the upper and lower portions . the pelvic fins are white .
small juveniles are similar but with fewer pronounced lines on the side . they have a broad black band on the posterior part of body and a broad yellow area on the caudal peduncle . the pelvic fins are yellow and the other fins are translucent . the black band on the posterior part will reduce with growth .
7 . 1 inches ( 18 . 01 cm ) - most specimens available are less than 4 . 72
( 12 cm ) .
the chevron butterflyfish is one of the most difficult butterflyfish to keep in the captive environment for a long period due to their specialized natural diet . they are only suitable for an expert keeper . a few specimens are successfully encouraged to accept substitute foods and are fairly easy to maintain , but only for a short period . as corals are its natural diet , it has poor survivability . also because it will harm the polyps of hard stony coral species , it is not recommended for reef - type aquariums .
. in captivity it will sometimes accept live brine and mysid shrimps . also offer other meaty foods , dried flakes , prepared frozen foods , and tablets . vegetables like lettuce or japanese nori ( asakusa - nori ) may also be favored . offer various foods quite frequently at first . feed it at least twice a day , and if it is a tiny juvenile , feeding should be fed three to four times everyday .
juveniles tend to accept various foods and will be more successfully kept than adults . once it is successfully acclimated it will become a fairly hardy fish , but unfortunately it will not last so long as its dietary needs are very difficult to meet .
several feedings per day - offer various foods quite frequently at first . if adapting adults will need at least 2 feedings a day and juveniles need 3 to 4 .
it is active and a rather quick swimmer , and it will even go up to the surface to take foods when it is well acclimated . it swims freely , spending a good deal of its time in the open water . but it also needs larger decorations , like table corals , where it may hide or keep motionless . frequent water changes are not necessary , rather normal water changes at 10 % biweekly or 20 % monthly are fine . sudden massive water changes can cause trouble .
weekly - change 10 % biweekly or 20 % monthly and avoid sudden massive water changes .
these fish need a lot of space to swim as they can reach about 7 inches in length . the tank needs larger furnishings like table corals where it can hide or keep motionless , so for this it requires an even more spacious aquarium than other butterflyfish of similar size . a 70 gallon ( 265 liters ) tank is the minimum size for a single fish , and a bigger tank will be needed if you want to keep more than one . although it does well in a coral - rich tank , it will nip some species of hard and soft corals . consequently it is not recommended for coral - rich reefs .
70 . 0 to 79 . 0° f ( 21 . 1 to 26 . 1° c ) - this species lives in both tropical and subtropical areas . temperatures between 70 - 79° f ( 21 - 26° c ) will serve them well , avoid temperatures higher than 84° f ( 29° c ) or below 66 ° f ( 19° c ) .
weak - water movement is not a significant factor . it can tolerate a rather strong flow but slow - moving water will be more favorable .
the chevron butterflyfish is a non - reef safe fish . though it does well in a coral - rich tank , it will eat the corals . it is best kept in a large fish only community tank that is well decorated with large furnishings such as table corals where it can rest and lie motionless .
this species is a somewhat aggressive fish . it is territorial and will be aggressive towards other members of its own kind , and sometimes other butterflyfish . larger and rather territorial angelfish like
smaller , non - aggressive fishes like cardinalfish , gobies , tilefish , sometimes other species butterflyfish , fairy basslets , fairy and flasher wrasses also are good candidates as tank mates . small but very territorial fishes like dottybacks should be avoided . such fish as basses or scorpionfish , even if they are small enough , should also be avoided .
no - it is territorial and will be aggressive towards other members of its own kind .
no sexual difference is noted for this species . butterflyfish species studied up to this time indicate that these fish are gonochoristic , meaning that each fish is either a male or a female and they do not change sex .
the chevron butterflyfish has not been cultivated in captivity . in the wild butterflyfish are pelagic spawners that release many tiny eggs into the planktonic water column where they float with the currents until they hatch . once hatched the fry are in a post - larval where their body , extending from the head , is covered with large bony plates .
this species has not been cultivated in captivity . the breeding behavior of this species has been observed in okinawa where males keep a harem type territory that overlaps the smaller territories of two to three females . spawning occurs at the full moon and for five more days . the male will visit the females throughout the day and courtship begins at dusk . the male will follow a female , nudging her anal area with his snout . the pair will eventually rise up in the water column , releasing their pelagic gametes at the apex and then immediately dart back to the substrate .
marine butterflyfish have not reportedly been spawned successfully in captivity . there are however , reports of some success in rearing wild collected larvae of some of the corallivorous butterflyfish . it is hoped these captive reared fish will be adapted to accept aquarium foods , and thus broaden the species selections that can be sustained in captivity . for more information see , marine fish breeding : butterflyfish .
members are often very colorful and attractive to aquarists . unfortunately some of them are rather difficult to keep for a long period . some are exclusively coral eaters , and sometimes they suffer from
ich
( white spot disease ) and other infectious diseases . problems with disease are reduced in a well maintained aquarium . any additions to a tank can introduce disease , so it ' s advisable to properly clean or quarantine anything that you want add to an established tank prior to introduction .
. some can be treated successfully with medical care or copper drugs , but some species hate sudden changes of water including ph , temperature , or any drug treatment . in the wild a cleaner wrasse (
) will help them by taking parasites from their bodies , however these wrasses are extremely difficult to sustain in captivity . alternative fish such as neon gobies (
the chevron butterflyfish is a stony coral eater and it can also be sensitive to some drugs . be sure to observe this fish closely when medicating it , so you can remove it if it shows signs of stress . for information about saltwater fish diseases and illnesses , see aquarium fish diseases and treatments .
many specimens of 4 - 10 cm long were collected by friends at the nichinan coast of miyazaki every year . i have kept more than ten individuals of 5 - 10 cm in fish community tanks . these beautifully marked butterflyfish would do fairly well for some period of time when they excepted foods . some did well without any trouble and survived several months . white spot disease was occasionally a problem , but many were successfully cured by using an appropriate copper sulfate .

the chevron butterflyfish is sometimes seen at retailers . most are smaller than 4 1 / 3 inches ( 12 cm ) , but juveniles less than 1 1 / 2 inches ( 3 cm ) are rare . they are moderately priced , starting at about $ 20 . 00 usd .

scott , 64 , says in the documentary that trump was charming at first but that things began to change when he realized he would not have any control over the profile .
whoever was in charge of naming d . j . trump’s foals , however , apparently had a fascination with donald trump . in early 1990 , trump left his first wife , ivana , for the model marla maples , fueling months of feverish coverage by new york city tabloids .

but much of trump’s appeal was that , as a businessman and artist of the deal , he could cut through the dithering and gridlock and partisan bickering . instead , in his first month , trump has mostly been the loser in his battles against entrenched institutions . rather than bend washington to his will , trump has , in his first month , mainly bent his priorities to the will of republicans in washington .

the first 100 days of trump’s presidency lasted from january 20 , 2017 until april 29 , 2017 . in the first days of his presidency , president trump issued a number of back - to - back executive orders to make good on some of his campaign promises , as well as several orders aimed at rolling back policies and regulations that were put into place during the obama administration . several of trump’s key policies that got rolling during trump’s first 100 days in office include his supreme court nomination ; steps toward building a wall on the mexico border ; a travel ban for several predominantly muslim countries ; the first moves to dismantle the affordable care act ( a . k . a . obamacare ) ; and the u . s . withdrawal from the paris climate agreement .

speaking to a packed assembly hall , including dozens of heads of state , trump defended his doctrine of
america first ,
while insisting that it need not be an impediment to international cooperation .
first trump , like first island , carried the silks of a pair of great owner / breeders , being raced by the moller brothers ( albeit under the name of mollers racing , the brothers having died ) . primo valentino , too , was a representative of one of the great sporting operations , being bred and trained by peter harris .
trump ' s first foreign trip may have produced memorable , and at times cringe - inducing , images of the new president , whether grasping a glowing orb in saudi arabia or shoving the prime minister of montenegro at a nato meeting in brussels . but perhaps most profoundly , the trip underscored what
america first ,
as trump has branded his governing philosophy , looks like on the world stage .
in 1977 , trump married his first wife ivana zelnickova winklmayr , a new york fashion model who had been an alternate on the 1972 czech olympic ski team . after the 1977 birth of the couple & apos ; s first of three children , donald john trump jr . , ivana trump was named vice president in charge of design in the trump organization and played a major role in supervising the renovation of the commodore and the plaza hotel . the couple had two more children together — ivanka trump ( born in 1981 ) and eric trump ( born in 1984 ) — and went through a highly publicized divorce which was finalized in 1992 .
since marrying donald trump in 2005 , melania trump has taken on various philanthropic causes both in new york and beyond .
but there was a more fundamental problem with this speech . trump used it not just to defend his america first agenda at home , but he pleaded with every nation to take the same path . this is a recipe not for world harmony but for jungle competition and conflict and is uniquely opposed to everything the un stands for . “i will always put america first just like you , the leaders of your countries , should put your countries first , ” trump said . he even appealed for a common reawakening of national patriotism . “are we still patriots ? ”
donald trump failed to express any remorse for cheating on his first wife ivana in a 1994 interview that emerged , saying instead that he may have continued his affair with marla maples had he not gotten caught .
but the most alarming part of an address that was supposed to be a serious formulation of the president ' s grand strategy in the world was the utter incoherence of trump ' s
america first
doctrine .
tuesday ' s speech was trump ' s first opportunity to address the general assembly . in the past , he has faulted the u . n . as a venue for too much talk and too little action .
tv series things i hate about you , based off the movie 10 things i hate about you , gives kroll his first onscreen vehicle as a juror .

most notably , though , was the usage of a getty images photo from barack obama ' s 2009 inauguration as the backdrop for trump ' s new @ potus twitter handle . noah harlan , president of allseen alliance , first noted the
oops
moment from trump ' s social staffers .
and she points out that the kind of life experience trump has may be ill - suited to the presidency , because presidents since fdr have faced five times more foreign policy or military crises than economic ones in their first year .
there is frustration all around . during his first hundred days in office , trump has not done away with populist rhetoric , but he has acted almost entirely as a plutocrat . his cabinet and his cast of advisers are stocked with
as president of the united states , i will always put america first , just like you as the leaders of your countries will always and should always put your countries first ,
trump said , to polite applause .

schwarzenegger , a republican , endorsed ohio gov . john kasich during the gop presidential primaries . he said in a statement in october that he wouldn ' t vote for trump , noting it was his first presidential campaign not backing a republican .
still , trump ' s words carried an added weight , coming in his first address to the u . n . here , leaders usually try to project an aspirational message about prospects for peace and prosperity , if only nations could work together . trump ' s address was more about naming and shaming transgressors .
“as president of the united states , i will always put america first , just like you , as the leaders of your countries , will always and should always put your countries first , ” he said , generating light applause in parts of the chamber . but he argued that nationalism can be the foundation for strong nations to join common causes .

she has been described as quiet and reserved , but her marriage to trump has forced her to make public statements and be scrutinized by the media . recent reports have questioned whether melania really wants to be first lady , but her spokeswoman stephanie grisham denies those accusations .
