As the former president of the United States, Donald Trump, has been on the campaign trail for months, scoring wins in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary, all eyes are on him and his wife Melania, with many questioning their relationship since she hasn’t been seen by his side during the campaign.
Melania suffered a loss when her mother Amelia passed away in January at the age of 78.
“Amalija 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,” the former first lady wrote on X.
During the private funeral, held at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, on January 18, Melania delivered an emotional eulogy, paying tribute to her mother’s “unparalleled affection.” She remembered her mother as “a ray of light in the darkest of days.”
“She embodied the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law – a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives,” Melania Trump said, adding that her mother’s “beauty and impeccable sense of style turned the heads of many.”
Judi James, a body language specialist, analyzed the photo of the Trump family taken on the day of the funeral and said that Donald Trump “seems to have adopted a pose similar to his wife Melania” and “looking much more vulnerable than usual, with his arms falling to the front of his torso and a reflective-looking frown on his face.”
When it comes to Melania and her husband, there have been speculations about their relationship going on for quite some time. The reason why is that she decided not to accompany him on his trials and that she’s not often seen by his side during the capmaign.
For some, this doesn’t come as a surprise because Melania is known as someone who wants to stay out of the limelight. The same is true for her son Barron who is also trying to keep a low profile despite being the son of a business mogul exposed in the media non-stop.
The couple appeared together on the funeral of Trump’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry, and Judi James again commented the former president’s body language. “There 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,” James commented.
“His tight clasp on Melania’s 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.”
However, although she’s not spotted around her husband much, people close to Melania say she has changed her mind about her husband running for president again and as much as she resented the idea of becoming a first lady once again, she now seems to support Trump’s campaign.
In 2021, according to CNN, Melania Trump reportedly didn’t 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.
She said she was looking forward to working alongside her husband.
“My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again,” the former first lady said. “He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength.”
Fox News host Laura Ingraham was eager to learn if Melania plans to join Trump at his rallies. “It’s a question I’m asked a lot, that Jill Biden is everywhere,” Ingraham told Trump during a recent town hall meeting. “She’s campaigning everywhere for Joe Biden and she did in 2020.
“Will 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… [she’s] so wonderful with children and everyone? I think a lot of people here want to see more of her.”
Trump didn’t hesitate before offering an answer. “They love her, I’ll tell you,” he responded. “And you know her. She’s a very brilliant person. She speaks many languages, the whole thing.
“Her life revolves around that boy, [he’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.”
The former president continued, “She’s a private person. 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 result. She wants to see this country really succeed.”
“[The people] love the fact that she’s 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’s not introducing them. If I didn’t introduce Melania she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person. And she loves the country.”
Donald Trump concluded, “She’s gonna be out quite a bit, and she loves his country, and she wants a great, and she says hello.”
