President Trump Gives An Update On Melania
Where’s Melania?
For one, her mother just died.
But beyond that, she’s right beside President Trump and she ain’t going anywhere!
In fact, get prepared to start seeing her more often!
President Trump said during his town hall with Fox News host Laura Ingraham that Melania Trump will make more regular appearances on the campaign trail.
When asked if Melania would make more public appearances, Trump told Ingraham she would be out “quite a bit” in the future.
“It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results. She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country,” Trump said.

Fox News reports:
“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” Trump continued. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.”
Melania has been largely absent from her husband’s 2024 presidential bid thus far, making few public appearances and staying out of the media.
Her absence, until recently, has been explained by the passing of her mother, Amalija Knavs, earlier this year. But as the campaign season becomes more intense, political commentators have questioned whether she will step back into efforts supporting Trump.
Trump also expressed appreciation that Melania has been dedicated to raising their son, Barron Trump.

From The Hill:
Trump, the likely GOP nominee for president, called Melania a “very brilliant person,” who “speaks many languages,” referring to an earlier comment from Ingraham about how that could be an asset on the campaign trail.
He also commended his wife for raising his youngest and “very tall” son Baron, who is 17.
“Her life evolves around that boy,” Trump said. “It’s so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity. She’s a private person.”
“And she loves the country. She’s going to be out a lot but she does it for the good of the country, not for her,” he said. “She’s somebody with a lot of confidence. She doesn’t need that.”
Trump said last month that he expected Melania Trump to join him soon, saying in an interview with Fox News’s Brian Kilmeade that “she wants to make America great again, too.”
“She’s gonna play, and she always did play a big role,” he said of his wife. “She was somebody that you could rely on.”
