Shortly before the news broke last week that Donald Trump would, in fact, be indicted, we learned that Melania Trump was reportedly still angry about her husband’s alleged affair with porn star Stormy Daniels and did not “sympathize” with the fact that he was facing criminal charges and possibly even time in prison.
Now that the ex-president has been formally charged—with 34 class E felonies—and is looking at a potential century-plus behind bars if convicted on all counts, the question is whether the former first lady still feels that way.
After all, it’s one thing to tell your spouse they made their bed and must now lie in it when you think there’s no chance of their becoming a convicted criminal—it’s another when they’re actually forced to surrender and could spend the rest of your marriage behind bars. Melania, of course, has not said anything publicly about the matter—but one hint that she may not be too broken up about all this? Maybe the fact that she skipped her husband’s post-arraignment speech last night.
Yes, following her decision to not accompany the ex-president when he appeared in court on Tuesday, the former first lady chose not to show up for Trump’s rambling remarks at Mar-a-Lago later that day, despite literally living on-site.
Another no-show was Ivanka Trump, and while that was pretty much to be expected, the former first daughter still got a shout-out from her dad when he listed his “great” family members. “I have a son here who’s done a great job, and I have another son here who’s done a great job…and Tiffany and Ivanka.
And Barron will be great someday. He’s tall. He is tall and he’s smart,” Trump said last night, adding: “But I have a great family and they’ve done a fantastic job, and we appreciate it very much. They’ve gone through hell.” Donald Trump Jr., Eric Trump, and Tiffany Trump were all present, as were their respective partners, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Lara Trump, and Michael Boulos.

Melania & Ivanka do not appear to be here.
Don Jr, Eric & Tiffany are.

During her time as first lady, Melania made it pretty clear that she despised her husband. So it’s possible she’s downright thrilled at the prospect of his doing 136 years in prison and thus spent last night celebrating.
Anyway, speaking of Trump’s speech, it was unsurprisingly chock-full of lies and conspiracy theories. On Wednesday, after pleading not guilty to all 34 felony charges, the ex-president and current 2024 presidential candidate declared that congressional Republicans should “defund” the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation until the agencies “come to their senses.” Which we assume means “take over the Manhattan district attorney’s office and make it drop its case against me.”
I wonder if she still have that jacket that she wore when she went to the border to see the children that her husband’s minions put in cages.
The one that say “I really don’t care, Do U?
I hope she save it and gets to use it when Godfather Don goes to prison.
Maybe I am hoping for too much….
You sound illiterate. Pls take a basic English class!
You are a racist!
To ALEX, the writer of this article. Please point me to the column you did on Biden, any one of them, Schiff, Pelosi, or any of the left that have destroyed our economy and our country. Oh, you don’t have any? I’m not a great Trump backer but compared to the left wing trash that I’m sure you support, he should be called Mr. America! If you want to become a real news reporter, first get your facts straight then try to tell the truth Melania “despised” Trump? Says who?
Wow Alex you are an ass another reporter that is just a puppet for the Democrats. When are you going to do a story on all the lies the Senile pervert in the WH told. I know the answer never because mainstream media covers for the jerk
I guess you can guess that the author of this article is bias and does not like Donald Trump. Too bad people can’t just report the news without making biased unfactualy statements and accusations. Biased opinions come through loud and clear and destroy any serious attempt at effective communicaiton.
Trump cheated on his previous wife’s, why she should be any different. When you marry a cheater that is what you get. A liar and a cheat. His other wives got smart and divorced him.
