CNN notices Melania has not been seen on the campaign trail for 2 months.

CNN points out she has been absent since she read a speech at the RNC that plagiarized part of a Michelle Obama DNC speech. CNN further notes that she has yet to appear to make a promised speech spelling out her immigration process. They played a clip of her talking to Anderson Cooper, telling him she came over on a visa, and returned to Slovenia every three months to get it stamped. But CNN notes that the type of visa she would need that would allow her to work would not require stamping every three months; a work visa is good for three years.

The video says has not been on the campaign trail at all, and has only been seen in public once--at the CiC forum.

I'm not positive though.

I'm sure/hope she was humiliated for the plagiarizing of Michelle's speech. I'm also not sure she is down with all of his sexist and bigoted shit. Ivanka has pretty much disappeared, too.

And as the link notes, that is the only time she has been seen in public. She has not been on the campaign trail at all.

He doesn't have much of an attention span when it comes to partners. No doubt she is grateful.

To explain her college degree and immigration process... or lack of.

While we're at it, Donald's taxes and health records are overdue as well.

lie - not to make HER look better, but to make HIM look better (that he with an educated female). I saw the lie on her website, and then poof, the website was gone and her excuse was that it didn't reflect all the great things she had done lately. Of course, the press left the whole story alone.

No one in their right mind who knows politics would let someone do that.

... CNN also recently noticed that the Lindbergh baby is still missing, the Titanic never made it to NY harbour, and women everywhere seem to have abandoned the bustle.
