What the US media says

Where is Melania Trump? Hours after the attack suffered by the former president, the absence of the former First Lady is once again beginning to attract attention. She was also absent during the trials against her husband, which attracted attention, as on other significant occasions. Melania Trump has not yet been photographed alongside the candidate after he was wounded by a gunshot. Where is she? Melania Trump?

It was Donald Trump himself who admitted that his wife was “hurt” after the Department of Justice (DOJ) charged him. However, some reports reveal that she was angry about her husband’s role in the alleged payment of money for her silence, and the extramarital relationship with the porn star Stormy Daniels. Others claim that she supports her husband, but prefers to be alone, but after the attack, the public absence of the former model queen led to scandal and rumors of divorce. Various American media published articles asking whether, in the case of Donald Trump returning to the White House (and he is the favorite), we would be facing a divorced president. In reality, few would be surprised because the candidate wounded this Saturday has already been divorced twice.

Melania Trump has not been seen with her husband after the attack on Saturday

Melania Trump has not been seen with her husband since Saturday’s attack, when he was giving a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. The former president had only been speaking for a few minutes when shots were heard. He put his right hand to his face, as if he had been hit, fell to the ground and was covered by secret service agents.

We will see if Melania reappears this Sunday alongside the former president, who was slightly injured by a bullet that hit his ear and left the stage with a trail of blood on his face. The image of Trump with his fist raised amid the cheers of his supporters may be the best of the campaign, but now the photo with his wife at a moment like this is missing.

The former president, surrounded by bodyguards and after asking to have his shoes back, was evacuated from the stage with some blood on his face coming from the ear area, with Secret Service agents around, but apparently in good condition. With shouts of “USA”, the acronym for the United States of America, his supporters celebrated that he left on his own two feet and without any apparent serious injuries.

Several experts told the American political outlet Axios that Melania will not return to the White House if her husband becomes president again and that she would continue to live “between Palm Beach (where she has spent the last four years) and New York, where it seems that her son Barron could study, specifically at NYU. Of course, she would go to the White House to comply with the protocols: ceremonial acts or state dinners. Kate Andersen Brower, who has written several books about American first ladies, bluntly states that Melania “is distancing herself even further from her husband, from politics and from the social scene that surrounds her,” she said.

The former first lady has been officially “absent without leave” on the campaign trail, and even more strikingly, she did not attend her husband’s bribery trial, nor his press conference after his conviction, which took place in the same building where she owns a home and where she was physically present at the time. However, her absence after the attack forces her to reappear and if she does not do so this Sunday, her message will be definitive.
