With the November presidential election approaching, it seems highly likely that President Joe Biden and Trump will face off once again. This confirmation came last week when both candidates secured the delegate nomination thresholds in their respective parties. They have been victorious in numerous Democratic and Republican primaries, solidifying their positions as frontrunners for the rematch.
As Trump continues his campaign trail, people have started scrutinizing his recent behavior at events, particularly when it involves his family members.
The video showing the former president seemingly disregarding his grandson at a recent UFC match has become a sensation online. During the event, Trump spots his daughter Ivanka Trump and warmly embraces her, then proceeds to shake hands with her husband, Jared Kushner. However, as his grandson approaches him, Trump walks away, leaving the child visibly disappointed.
Critics have been questioning why Melania Trump, the former first lady, seems to have distanced herself from public life amid her husband’s 2024 presidential campaign and the ongoing legal issues he faces.
What We Know
During an event at his Florida resort residence, Mar-a-Lago, on Tuesday, Trump addressed his supporters and made a comment about the presence of “beautiful women” in the crowd.
Trump frequently addresses his supporters at his Florida resort residence after significant election campaign outcomes, although the exact nature of these gatherings remains unclear.
On Tuesday, Newsweek contacted Trump’s campaign via email to request a comment.
On March 5, Super Tuesday, Trump went head-to-head with former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley. Emerging victorious in almost every primary contest, the former president addressed his supporters at Mar-a-Lago during his watch party. The absence of his wife, however, fueled speculation surrounding her continued absence from public appearances.
Stephanie Winston Wolkoff, who was once a trusted aide and close confidant of the former first lady, recently shared a post on X. In the post, she noted that Melania Trump did not attend Donald’s victory party. Winston Wolkoff emphasized that Melania’s absence was not a concern for his supporters, as they do not require her presence by his side. It was a simple matter of choice, nothing more and nothing less.
Last week, Melania made a comeback as she and her husband hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán at a dinner reception held at Mar-a-Lago.
Views
In recent months, there has been increasing speculation about the relationship between the couple, as many observers have noticed Melania’s reduced involvement in the 2024 election campaign of the presumptive GOP nominee.
During a town hall in South Carolina in February, Trump was asked if his wife would be active on the campaign trail, similar to current first lady Jill Biden. In response, he addressed her absence.
According to Trump, his wife dedicates a significant amount of her attention to their 17-year-old son, Barron Trump.
“He’s so important to her, and her life revolves around that boy. But it’s not just about him; it’s also about our country and its success. She has done incredible work raising money for charity. Despite her fame, she remains a private person,” he shared.
Last week, Wolkoff took to X to share further thoughts on her deteriorating relationship with the former first lady’s family. This comes after a controversy surrounding the former president’s 2017 inauguration.
“Here’s the thing,” she emphasized. “The Trump Family places a great deal of importance on perception, so Donald’s apparent disregard for Melania’s well-being is quite revealing. In Donald’s world, chivalry meant allowing Melania to go first and making sure she walked by his side. However, he hasn’t been displaying either of these behaviors lately.”
What’s Next?
During a recent interview, Melania Trump was asked if she intends to resume her activities on the campaign trail leading up to the 2024 election. In response, she simply answered with two words.
“Keep your eyes peeled,” she told the journalists in Palm Beach, Florida, standing beside her husband.
