Donald Trump made a giant speech to all his supporters at Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday evening. Well, wait… all of his supporters??
In his first speech because the arraignment, the previous POTUS responded to his arrest with much less vitriol than we anticipated — we guess he tuckered himself out on that finish together with his Truth Social posts. In entrance of a gaggle of gathered followers within the ballroom of his Palm Beach resort, Trump boasted about what an incredible man he was — and what an incredible household he had, saying:
“I built a great business with my family, a fantastic business… I have a son here who has done a great job, and I have another son here who has done a great job. And Tiffany, and Ivanka. And Barron will be great someday. He is tall, he is tall and he’s smart… But I have a great family and they have done a fantastic job and we appreciate it very much. They have gone through hell.”
Yep even Barron Trump bought a shoutout for being so tall!
Most of Trump’s household have been within the entrance row: Eric Trump and his spouse Lara, Donald Trump Jr and his fiancé — Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle, Tiffany Trump and her husband.

But two members of the fam have been notably absent. Donald talked about daughter Ivanka Trump, however she wasn’t there. In reality, she hasn’t been there to assist Daddy in a while. Remember, she wasn’t at his official 2024 announcement both! And when he was lastly indicted, her assertion was… properly, diplomatic, let’s say. Or at the very least she didn’t take part together with his different sycophantic supporters in calling it an all-caps WITCH HUNT.
The different member, in fact? Melania Trump. She notably wasn’t by his facet as he pleaded not responsible to expenses arising from his hush cash fee to the grownup movie star he allegedly raw-dogged early on of their marriage. But heck, that was all the best way in New York City! She lives in Palm Beach now, child! That would have been a problem and a half! So clearly she was there to greet him when he got here house, proper? And held his hand on stage? Stood within the crowd and cheered?
Yeah, not a lot. But hey, that was all the best way… downstairs. OK, yeah, it doesn’t look nice.
Where was she? Well, it might be she simply doesn’t assist Donald in all this. After all, she was nursing the sometime nice child Barron when her husband was off plowing a porn star that point. The factor he was allegedly attempting to cowl up simply earlier than the 2016 election. And a supply who is aware of her down in her new Florida house advised People final month she was NOT over the entire thing. They claimed “she doesn’t sympathize with Donald’s plight”:
“She remains angry and doesn’t want to hear [the alleged hush money payment] mentioned.”
So perhaps having to be in a room full of individuals — and Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz — all speaking in regards to the one explicit Trump scandal she nonetheless holds a grudge over? Maybe she simply didn’t really feel prefer it.
Melania fairly notably has not launched an announcement formally about her husband’s indictment. But ignoring it’s making an announcement in its personal method. And that assertion ain’t certainly one of assist. Just sayin’.
