Donald Trump is again continuing his campaign to become President of the United States. The former president has been on the campaign trail for months, scoring wins in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. Many things point towards him becoming the Republican presidential candidate, but his wife, Melania Trump, has not been seen at his side.<\/p>\n
Melania and her family have gone through some tough times since the passing of her mother, Amalija, in January. The former FLOTUS has said she will support her husband in a second Presidential race; however, it appears she has more important things to focus on.<\/p>\n
Since the funeral of Melania\u2019s mother, things have been very quiet. Now, Donald Trump shares why she hasn\u2019t been at his side.<\/p>\n
Melania Trump\u2019s life has changed plenty in the last few months, not least because of the passing of her mother, Amalija.<\/p>\n
On January 9, it was announced that Amalija had passed away at the age of 78.<\/p>\n
Melania Trump appeared in public at her mother\u2019s funeral
\nMelania Trump wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, \u201cAmalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity. She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amalija Knavs\u2019 funeral was held at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, on January 18. The funeral was private, and many of Trump\u2019s family members attended.<\/p>\n
During the private funeral, Melania Trump delivered an emotional eulogy, paying tribute to her mother\u2019s \u201cunparalleled affection.\u201d She remembered her mother as \u201ca ray of light in the darkest of days.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe embodied the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law \u2013 a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives,\u201d Melania Trump said, adding that her mother\u2019s \u201cbeauty and impeccable sense of style turned the heads of many.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s a true inspiration, a role model to me, and to so many,\u201d the former FLOTUS said, concluding her seven-minute eulogy with, \u201cRest in peace, my beloved mummy.\u201d
\nAnalyzing a picture of Melania, Barron, and Donald Trump outside of the church, body language Judi James said the former president \u201cseems to have adopted a pose similar to his wife Melania\u201d and \u201clooking much more vulnerable than usual, with his arms falling to the front of his torso and a reflective-looking frown on his face.\u201d<\/p>\n
Body language expert gives insight into Melania and Donald Turmp\u2019s marriage
\nWhile Melania Trump and her family said goodbye to her late mother, the talks about her relationship with her husband have been going on for a relatively long time. Melania and Donald have been pictured not even traveling in the same car, and she was said not to have wanted to be supporting him in person through his many legal battles in the last year.<\/p>\n
Just months ago, Donald and Melania attended the funeral of the former president\u2019s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry. Body language expert Judi James then stated that Donald Trump, through his actions, revealed what his relationship with his wife is like.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is one moment on the steps outside the church when Trump appears to attempt to adopt a strong presidential pose, standing upright with his jaw squared and his head lifted, but otherwise, he looks like a man stricken by grief,\u201d James said.
\nMoreover, Judi added that Donald held his wife Melania\u2019s hand, which was telling.<\/p>\n
\u201cHis tight clasp on Melania\u2019s hand looks as though it is for practical as well as emotional support. Walking down the steps he seems to lean heavily on his wife for support so that her shoulders tilt towards him in a hint that he is placing some weight on that clasp.\u201d
\nThe presidential race in the United States is on. After speculations about whether he should be, Donald Trump is looking to secure a second presidential term after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
\nSo far, Trump has won the Iowa Caucuses and the New Hampshire Republican primary, and many things point toward him becoming the Republican candidate for the 2024 Presidential election.<\/p>\n
When rumors about Trump planning on running for a second presidential term began circulating, many wondered whether Melania Trump would be on board with the idea.<\/p>\n
Since their 17-year-old Barron Trump was born, Melania has been by his side, protecting him from the media. When his father became president, it became evident that she needed to shield him even more \u2013 not mainly from journalists possibly approaching Barron, but also from him reading about his father.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, as Donald Trump has been involved in several trials recently \u2013 and his mugshot going viral \u2013 the former first lady has decided to stay away from the public to protect herself and Barron.<\/p>\n
\u201cMelania is good at taking care of business at hand, which includes her own life, the life of her son, and the lives of her close family members,\u201d the source told People Magazine.
\n\u201cShe would not stand in a circle of people she knows and openly comment on the lawsuits or the mug shot. She will have her way of dealing with this and anything else publicly when she feels like it,\u201d the source added. \u201cRemember, Melania is a mom with a not-yet-adult son to protect. A mug shot that everyone is talking about is just one more issue to wade through.\u201d
\nBarron Trump\u2019s time at his Palm Beach school is coming to a close, and in the fall, he is expected to enroll in college. Where is not yet decided; however, Melania Trump will continue to be at her son\u2019s side for as long as possible before he flies the nest.<\/p>\n
As the presidential election, and firstly, the nomination for the Republican candidate, is getting closer, Donald Trump has been appearing increasingly in the media. Some weeks ago, his comments on his Republican presidential candidate opposition, Nikki Haley\u2019s husband, became a huge news story.<\/p>\n
Hundreds of articles are written about Trump each day. As he, as mentioned, appears in the media frequently, the focus \u2013 and pressure \u2013 on his family becomes evident.<\/p>\n
In 2021, according to CNN, Melania Trump reportedly didn\u2019t support her husband to seek a second presidential term as she felt she was done with the White House. However, last summer, she had changed her mind. Speaking with Fox News, Melania wished to return to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington, DC.
\nShe explained how she looked forward to working alongside her husband to restore \u201chope for the future\u201d and \u201cleading America with love and strength\u201d for a second presidential term.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again,\u201d the former first lady said. \u201cHe has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength.\u201d
\nWhile Melania supports her husband in becoming president again, she has not been seen on the campaign trail next to him. Meanwhile, First Lady Jill Biden has been by her husband, President Joe Biden, and taken on an important role before the election.
\nWhat Melania is doing is on the minds of many people, not least Trump voters. Therefore, during a recent town hall meeting, Fox News Host Laura Ingraham asked Donald Trump if Melania would join him at his rallies.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a question I\u2019m asked a lot, that Jill Biden is everywhere,\u201d Ingraham said. \u201cShe\u2019s campaigning everywhere for Joe Biden and she did in 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n
She continued, \u201cWill we see more of your secret weapon, for those of us who know your wife, Melania? Will we see more of her this time around, given her ability to speak so many languages\u2026 [she\u2019s] so wonderful with children and everyone? I think a lot of people here want to see more of her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donald Trump didn\u2019t take long to answer, which was somewhat expected. Right now, her dedication lies with their son, Barron.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey love her, I\u2019ll tell you,\u201d Trump responded. \u201cAnd you know her. She\u2019s a very brilliant person. She speaks many languages, the whole thing.\u201d
\n\u201cHer life revolves around that boy, [he\u2019s] so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She\u2019s raised a lot of money for charity.\u201d
\nThe former president continued, \u201cShe\u2019s a private person. It\u2019s funny; she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She\u2019s going to be out a lot, not because she likes doing it, but she likes the result. She wants to see this country really succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c[The people] love the fact that she\u2019s not out there so much. You know, a lot of first ladies will go out. They want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he\u2019s not introducing them. If I didn\u2019t introduce Melania she\u2019d be very happy about it. She\u2019s just a different kind of a person. And she loves the country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donald Trump concluded, \u201cShe\u2019s gonna be out quite a bit, and she loves his country, and she wants a great, and she says hello.\u201d<\/p>\n
