Political expert Ron Filipkowski stated Donald Trump took the stage at his rally in Miami on Tuesday evening, July 9, but his wife, Melania, was noticeably absent from the seat assignments. The rally was held in Miami.
MeidasTouch.com's Editor-in-Chief tweeted a snapshot of a row of chairs at the event, which had the names of the VIP guests. Among the attendees were Barron Trump Jr., who is 18, Eric Trump, who is 40, and Donald Trump Jr., who is 46. It seemed as though Melania was not present among them.
After his alleged affair with adult film star Stormy Daniels was detailed in length at his New York hush money trial, critics of Trump resorted to the comments section to joke that the mother-of-one was using the chance to plan her escape from her marriage to the business magnate. He was accused of having an affair with Daniels.
One X user teased Melania that she was "probably consulting her divorce lawyer," and another quipped, "I suspect she’s conferring with her attorneys regarding her prenup."
A third person claimed Melania was trying to stay "as far away as she can possibly be" from her husband, and a fourth added that she was "ignoring and avoiding her cheating husband in New York, per usual."
Even though the 54-year-old woman is not frequently seen at Donald's speaking engagements, there was a possibility that she would show up at the rally because it was located closer to their home in Florida than other events.
Having said that, it is also possible that she is still in Brooklyn. Melania Trump conducted a fundraiser for the Republican Party earlier this week at her penthouse in New York City, where she earned a total of $1.4 million. It is not clear whether she has gone back to Florida.
This comes in the form of allegations that Melania may decide not to continue her duties as first lady if her husband's campaign for the presidential election of 2024 is successful.
"Melania has made a deal with her husband that if he wins the presidency, she will not have to fulfill first lady duties 24/7," an unnamed source claimed.
The insider suggested to OK! Magazine that Melania may also spend more time in the Empire State if Barron attends New York University in the fall.
"Barron has never been completely on his own before — and with the added stress of him being both a freshman in college and potentially the son of a president in a predominantly Democratic city, [Melania] wants to be close," the informant explained.
"The added attention he’ll get if his father is president worries Melania who is also concerned about the reaction at his school over Barron’s ever-present Secret Service," the tipster concluded.
