Where is Melania Trump?

I haven't seen her for weeks. No interviews, no showing up on fluffy morning "news" programs, not even a visit to friendly Fox territory. She's not seen anywhere campaigning in any states. Are they keeping her out of the public eye for a reason or does she kind of actually hate Trump and can't force herself to gush over him like his children can?

Mitt Romney's wife was everywhere when he was running. And it's almost as if the cheese turd is single. Curious.

His prenups also demand that ALL gifts given by him over the course of the marriage be returned to him. What a vindictive nutcase. But, I think she can ruin him beyond the ruin he's going to feel in November.

Melania either has too much baggage considering her past visa status and model work, or is threatening divorce if he ever puts her up in front of an audience again.

Other option - Melania might have been sent off to a finishing school to learn how to deal with the public?

She wanted citizenship and money. He wanted a trophy wife. He negotiated a really, really great deal!

Also, it's like Marla Mapels and their daughter don't exist either. He blatantly favors those three from his first marriage and the rest are just excess baggage he's picked up along the way. He never even mentions Melania or their child together - Burke, is that his name?

Quite pretentious IMHO.
BTW, he has used the name John Baron as his make-believe spokesperson.

Further proof that Drumpf doesn't have one ounce of humanity in him, otherwise his massive ego would be parading the poor child around as proof of his manly manliness at having a child at age 60.

I hate exploiting kids for political purposes, but Drumpf marches out the first 3 all the time. Tiffany, who's an adult, and Barron don't exist in his world. Neither does Melania once she became a campaign liability.

voters as it is. Melania will just make them go into new rages and their husbands will hear about it...

Perhaps she is busy searching for another famous speech to plagiarize for Trump's concession speech. Or maybe she's trying to forge her immigration documents. In any case, I doubt we'll hear from her for a while.
