As Donald Trump makes noise about 2024, Melania Trump tries to stay out of the public eye
CNN Fake News ^ | 5 September 2021 | Kate Bennett

As Donald Trump publicly mulls his political future, playing a game of "will he-won't he" in a potential bid for the White House in 2024, all the while flexing influence in primaries for next year's midterms, there is one key person noticeably quiet. Again.

Melania Trump, perhaps the most private first lady in modern history, has retreated more and more from the spotlight since departing Washington last January. She has been seen publicly just once this summer, spotted in July by photographers leaving Trump Tower in New York City, accompanied by her son. Other than that, with the exception of a few Instagram posts from random people who happened to glimpse her in the dining room at Trump's Bedminster Golf Club, Trump -- ever the enigma -- hasn't purposefully set foot in front of a camera.

Last month she returned from her summer sojourn in New Jersey to Palm Beach, Florida, where friends say she will reside fulltime at Mar-a-Lago while Barron Trump attends a private high school. She's giving up the Manhattan life she knew pre-White House, a period of time that granted her as much anonymity as possible for being the wife of Donald Trump.

Melania Trump's disinterest in public political life runs deep enough that she has gone so far as to tell several friends that not only does she not intend to bolster her husband's inflated political ambitions, she has zero desire for a White House redux, according to several people who spoke with CNN about her mindset. "Being first lady again is not what she wants," said one of the people, who had a close relationship with Trump during her White House tenure. "For her, it was a chapter -- and it's over, and that's that."

A CNN article to be sure, but I am certain the premise of the story is correct. Melania was the most unfairly, horribly mistreated First Lady ever to be in the White House. I don’t think many who were in her shoes would relish the opportunity to go back to it again…

No.

Instead we were subjected to eight years of hearing about Michelle’s “fabulously toned arms,” when Melania Trump was the most beautiful, intelligent and resourceful First Lady we’ve had in a very long time.

She will do it if it means that much to her husband. Doesn’t mean she’ll have to like it.

I don’t blame her. The media has bashed her non-stop for six years.

When was she ever in the public spotlight? Aside from her clothing line, which a former girlfriend wore, I never heard from her about anything.

Has CNN provided any actual news content in the last ten

I am sorry to say...If DJT cannot win in 2020 when he was the President, there is little chance in 2024. He could have used the Insurrection Act and arrested the traitors.

“Melania Trump, perhaps the most private first lady in modern history...”

Oh, BS, CNN! FLOTUS did EVERYTHING EVERY prior First Lady did - in high heels and looking SPECTACULAR every day!

You didn’t like her husband, so YOU ignored her!

I seem to remember you with your noses UP Mooch 0bama’s skirts 24/7! *SHUDDER*

Americans DO know what shiite-birds you all are!

She hated being First Lady.

I cannot imagine her going back for more of that crap.

I can’t blame her one bit. Most human beings in general could not take the unending drumming of abuse from the public. Not even most politicians could survive that level of being Hate-Showered day after day and from both parties.

Donald Trump can mostly just brush it off and keep driving.
I know I could’nt. I’m glad she is bold enough to just say so now, vs appearing with him while wearing an angry scowl.
Campaigns don’t have to be done the exact same way each time. Trump can do it his way, and have other people standing with him in support. It’s nothing to be ashamed of.

The media must be devastated that Melania hasn’t left her husband, or filed for divorce yet. The woman has never been one to seek public adoration. When it comes to being a wife and mother, she’s chosen to stick to the traditional role, and as First Lady, she chose the traditional role of that as well. She’s also a fighter, and will not sit back and let people bully her, or make her out to be something she isn’t. I’m a lot older than Melania, but I respect her, and the way she has sought to keep her family life as private as possible. The media can’t stand that.

In hindsight he probably should have because we couldn’t be in a worse situation than we are now.

Donald Trump did win. Our overlords and deep state could not have him for 4 more years. The time was right to pull the trigger on the global reset. Melania is a wonderful person. She stood by our President. Bless her.
