Hello, my dear friends!
I read in The New York Times yesterday (July 19 - 2016):
"...it was the biggest speech of Melania Trump's life, and her husband, Donald, wanted it to be perfect...Ms. Trump spent most of Tuesday out of sight...".
When I saw the above sentence, I was surprised, because of Ms. Trump.
We know that she is Mr. Trump's wife.
So we have to say, Mrs. Trump, not Ms. Trump.
While, you can see in news about Mrs. Hillary Clinton every day.
Now, here is my question:
Melania Trump and Hillary Clinton got married with Donald Trump and Bill Clinton many years ago.
Why is Melania Trump as Ms. Trump, and is Hillary Clinton as Mrs. Clinton?
Which is correct? Mrs. or, Ms.?
Thanks in advance,
Bijan

Thank you very much.
I agree with you that there is just a typo.
I got my answer very well.
Best wishes,

Dear Bijan! It is obvious that the article was about Donald's wife. So, it is just a typo. Her origion has nothing to do with her title. Perhaps, you know that my wife is Ukrainian and if she is introduced officialy she is Mrs. Tanya Daniel Clark although she didn't change her last name and in her passport is her maiden name. Mrs means a wife, hostess. So, any marrried woman is Missis

Thank you for your nice explanation.
But, The New York Times has said that:
"...Melania Trump's life, and her husband, Donald,...".
It looks like Ms Trump is not a daughter of Donald Trump or his unmarried sister.
And also, I have heard that she is from Slovenia.
Thanks a lot and best wishes,
Bijan
Dear Bijam! Any married woman is MRS if she is even a widow. So, both those ladies are Mrs. Ms Trump may be a dauhter of Donald Trump or his unmarried sister. There must have been a typo in the newspaper
