Royal fans are wondering where Kate Middleton is, and political watchers are asking the same question in regard to Melania Trump. Donald Trump promised months ago that his third wife would be a presence on his 2024 presidential campaign, but so far, that hasn’t come to fruition.
The former president teased her upcoming appearances in a Fox News townhall last week. “It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results,” Donald Trump explained. “She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country.” So, he pretty much revealed that the former first lady hates campaigning with him, but he wasn’t done talking about the hot topic.

“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” Donald Trump added. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.” It’s understandable for Melania to take some time off to grieve the loss of her mother, Amalija Knavs, who passed away in January. As the 2024 campaign heats up, though, her presence is going to be expected by the Republican Party.
Donald Trump kept up with the excuses, noting her dedication to their son, Barron, 17, who is in his final year of high school. “Her life revolves around that boy. It’s so important to her,” he continued. “At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity. She’s a private person.” Donald Trump kept circling back to the idea that “she’s going to be out a lot,” but he didn’t pinpoint an exact date or event where his supporters could see her. She didn’t make an appearance during the South Carolina primary, so it’s unclear how supportive Melania truly is of her husband’s third run for president.
The last time Melania gave Donald Trump a vote of confidence in his run for the White House again dates back to May 2023. She told Fox News, “He has my support, and we look forward to restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength. My husband achieved tremendous success in his first administration, and he can lead us toward greatness and prosperity once again.” Without a cameo on the campaign trail, Melania again feels like a very reluctant bystander to her husband’s political ambitions.
