Just the title.
Does anyone here have thoughts on where Melania has been or why she has been silent on current events regarding her husband. Or why she has been missing from major events that we see other wives at?
Politician or Public FigureI think she’s fed up with the limelight and negative attention his running brings. The porn star case, felonies, and non stop coverage probably didn’t help either.
I don’t think we’ll see her unless he wins- And very major events after that
No. I spend precisely zero time worrying about Melania Trump
She's always kept a very low public profile.
Most of the reporting suggests she just doesn't have an interest in politics, and that the two of them are far less close than your average pair of spouses.
Not surprised. I doubt he's ever been husband of the year.
My assumption has been she's sick of being attacked in the media. She tends to receive rather vicious personal attacks whenever she makes appearances with her husband.
I remember at one point Baron was completely eviscerated, and he was a kid. There has always been a part of politics that goes dirty and attacks family members (Obama and his kids, for example). If these family members have ties to powerful positions like Hunter Biden and Trump Jr., I understand that. But I wouldn't blame somebody for wanting to stay out of the spotlight, especially with the absolute hysteria the left has toward Trump.
She's never been interested in politics and doesn't like any of the associated attention/attacks. Good for her for successfully staying out of the picture.
Not really. She’s doing whatever she wants to be doing that’s probably infinitely more relaxing and/or fun than hitting the campaign trail.
Trump disagrees with you--as he asked about Nikki Haley's deployed husband.

Except supporting her husband.
So you think if she’s not physically being seen that absolutely means she doesn’t support him?
Yes.
If your life partner isn't at your life events. Unless she's doing something more important, it absolutely does mean your partner isn't supporting you.
Would you think your wife is supportive of whatever you're doing if she never showed?
Well, I’m a girl, so I don’t have a wife.
There’s been many work events in my life that my husband hasn’t attended, and vice versa. I have not ever questioned whether he supported me nor has he questioned me.
Do you think that if you ran for president, your husband would make no public attempts to support you?
Do you think that would change if your constant infidelity and the felonies you’d committed in part to cover it up became a talking point in the election?

If he had the past 8 years that Melania had, I would definitely understand if he wanted to stay low key and I would not automatically assume it means he doesn’t support me.

I think if I knew he would be a target, no matter the reason, I’d completely understand if he wanted to minimize the public appearances.

Does Melania work?
Yes.
Can you blame her for not liking the attention? The woman is criticized for her accent and status as an immigrant despite the left usually treating those as a protected class, for having a cheating husband despite the left having no issue ignoring that when it's Clinton, for literally everything she wears despite her being a very sharp dresser on average and crying about it being patriarchal to tell women what to wear, ridiculed her for doing her job as a model and posing naked in the past despite that being her fucking job and the left suppsedly supporting women's liberation of their bodies, and the media went as far as to ridicule her very young son for being possibly autistic or whatever. I'd stay bitterly out of the limelight too. Personally she might be my favorite First Lady we've ever had just for how much her existence highlights how sexist we treat First Ladies in general and "conservative" wives especially.
"I am not voting for Hunter Melania for president
Do you ever criticize people for bringing up Hunter or Jill Biden as a critique of Joe?
Biden covers up for his sons crimes and Jill has to prop up his senile old ass at conventions. Melanie's literally just a person who's worse crime as a family member to the president was...wearing an unfortunate piece of outwear that one rime.
How can someone so senile still cover up crimes?
Biden covers up for his sons crimes
…the son who was just convicted of a felony?
Just pointing out the irony of your question.
You should seek a qualified professional to discuss your feelings about Biden’s loss early to beat the crowd
Would you recommend Trump and his followers see therapists to deal with their delusional belief that the election was “stolen”?
Has anyone ever told you that you have a habit of deflecting?
Just admit that your man is closer to the 25th amendment than he is to reelection
Now you do Trump….. or don’t
It’s not deflecting, and Biden isn’t my man lol
I will say that only one president in recent history has had cabinet members seriously discussing invoking the 25th, and it wasn’t Biden’s
See that , you deflected to Trump. You are good at this!
Should Biden’s cabinet be considering it now?
Idk. He shouldn’t be running
She's a retired super model that wants to live a quiet private life , don't know what she's doing, don't really care either
It seemed to me she never wanted to be First Lady or live in the White House, and that always made me sad for her. I'd hate to get pulled into that kind of life.
I have exactly zero thoughts on Melania.
It’s probably because the leftist lamestream media will attack her for anything she does. I don’t blame her for not wanting attention.
I imagine she doesn't want to become any more of a target for bile left-wing hatred than she already has been. The left have treated her fucking horribly ever since Trump came into the scene. The things they say about her are just fucking awful.
lol, yeah and the right is so kind to Michelle Obama.
Not really.
For 8 years the media has been posting nonsense stories, Melania didn't go to x, didn't hold Trump's hand, etc... it's all pretty trivial pointless news?
What should be a bigger story is why Biden has to rely on his wife so much for speeches, is it having difficulties doing speeches without a teleprompter telling him exactly what to say?
The teleprompter bs again? This is the dumbest complaint I’ve ever heard. Not only has every President since it’s invention used one so do scientists, corporate CEO’s, and music performers to name a few. Get some more material.
I'm not concerned at all that Joe Biden uses a teleprompter. I'm a little concerned that the only public interaction he has had where he didn't have a teleprompter (last week's debate), he was what we all saw.
Yes, many people use teleprompter.
No one has an issue that Biden uses a teleprompter.
The issue is Biden needs a teleprompter, not that he uses one, but that he needs it. He often appears to be somewhat incoherent without one.
Melania is apolitical and wants to keep it that way. I read yeaterday that in the event of Trump's re-election she would split her time between the WH and NYC.
I mean I’m assuming Melania Trump has better things to do than accompany her husband everywhere. Besides, when Melania was in public (both on the campaign trail in 2016 and as First Lady), the leftists spent endless hours mocking her for everything and invoking shitty stereotypes about Eastern European women to do so. After the treatment she got when she was in the public, I don’t blame her for just chilling in Mar a Lago and doing whatever she’s doing now.
Nope.
I am interested in why Hunter is attending meetings with president Biden and Senior advisors, at the White House.
How concerned were you with the roles of Ivanka, Jared, Eric, and Donny Jr?
How concerned were you with the roles of Ivanka, Jared, Eric, and Donny Jr?
They aren't playing a role.
If they were unelected crack heads taking meetings at the white house, yes, it was stir my curiosity.
Are you really going to pretend that all of them didn't play MAJOR roles in Trumps first term?!? Seriously?!?
I mean. I'm not a big fan of Hunter being involved. But ya'll didn't give two flying fucks that Trump handed security clearances to his kids who couldn't have otherwise been approved, and then had them as KEY players in his administration. This hypocritical outrage at Hunter is laughable.
Seriously. Explain to me why conservatives were fine with Trump's full-on nepotism and having his kids intimately involved with his entire administration...but now you're freaking out because Hunter popped into a few meetings. Make this make sense.
To be crystal clear:
Ivanka Trump served as adviser to the president. Her husband, Jared Kushner, was assistant to the president and senior adviser. Andrew Giuliani was a special assistant to the president and associate director of the office of public liaison. William Barr’s son-in-law, Tyler McGaughey, left his position at the U.S. Attorney’s office for the White House. At the same time, Barr’s eldest daughter, left her job at the deputy attorney general’s office for a position within the Treasury Department.
You're premise is flawed. You think my problem is nepotism.
My wife/daughter are pretty sharp. I often seek her input on family/financial matters.
My brother is 18 years homeless. Drugs. I do not consult him on family/financial matters.
It's the crack, not the bloodline.
When has that happened exactly?
The real question is why has jill been parading joe around like a toddler
That wasn't the question I asked though. You should totally ask that on the askaliberal sub. I would love to know what their thoughts are.
