Melania Trump missing from photo of Donald’s “whole” family

Ultimately there a thousand and one reasons as to why Melania decided enough was enough, that she would rather spent her time in the shadows as opposed to being rolled out to stand at her husband’s side, exhibiting all the love and support of a waxwork model.

My point is, her not being there is conspicuous. People have noticed, and it’s now being speculated in several circles that Melania might not even choose to move back into the White House when Donald begins his second term as president. The official line here seems to be that she wants to be closer to support her son, Barron, who – need I remind you – is 18 years old and now a college student.

In any case, further fuel was added to the fire earlier this week when the Trumps posted a family photo in the wake of Donald’s victory over Kamala Harris. On Wednesday, Donald Trump Jr.’s eldest child, Kai Trump, uploaded a photo that included virtually all members of the Trump clan (as well as Elon Musk), captioning it “The whole squad.”

And Melania was not in it.

The former and future First Lady’s absence was noted by plenty of people on social media, all of whom openly wondered what she might be doing that meant she couldn’t be in the photo, and why those in the photo couldn’t wait for her.

Emerging from the depths of, well, who knows where, Melania was at her husband’s side for all of 2024 election day, joining him as he gave his victory speech from West Palm Beach that night.

So she was there, just not there when the photo in question was taken. Kimberly Guilfoyle, who has been engaged to Donald Trump Jr. since 2021, also failed to make the cut on election night, though his ex-wife, Vanessa Trump, was in the photo.
