In a recent, much-discussed interview with Fox News host Bret Baier, former President Donald Trump was asked how his wife, former first lady Melania Trump, was managing his legal issues after being indicted twice. Trump asserted that she was “100%” with him.
Nevertheless, where is Melania? Trump has spent the last several weeks battling the Democrats’ persecution, while she has been absent. Even the former president is campaigning for a second term in the White House; Melania Trump should be very vocal about this.
“She is a woman of great dignity and beauty and style,” Trump told Baier, in footage that aired on the night of Tuesday, June 20th. “She is a very popular first lady, although a lot of people might not know that one way or another.”
"The people love Melania!"

He explained that at numerous rallies, supporters frequently hold up signs expressing their admiration for the former first lady.
“The people love Melania. She’s a very confident person. She feels I’m being very badly mistreated,” Trump said. “And she says, ‘You go ahead and you do whatever you want to do because I’m with you 100%.’”
“So Melania and Barron — fully in?” Baier asked.
“They’re great. They’re great,” he replied.
Melania was present in May 2023 when Trump announced his third presidential campaign, and she issued a statement at the time. This week, the Trump campaign shared the statement with the Daily Mail in an effort to express her support for Trump in the matter.
“He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength,” Mrs. Trump said in a press release.
The British newspaper published exclusive images of Melania and their 17-year-old son Barron boarding SUVs on Donald Trump’s 77th birthday, June 21st, with several pieces of Louis Vuitton luggage. Nonetheless, nobody knows where they went after that.
“And while Trump was being federally indicted in Florida, Melania Trump was seen going to maintenance appointments around Manhattan. She was not at his speech at his Bedminister, N.J., golf club last week when he defended himself against the latest round of charges,” the Daily Mail noted, adding that there have been reports that Melania “was looking to flee the United States this summer as her husband faces multiple legal issues, taking Barron to Europe.”

Her absence isn’t just something to brush under the rug, as it carries several issues. The newspaper suggests that voters may conclude it “as a lack of support on her part.” CONTINUE READING…
