MAGA supporters aren't pleased that Melania Trump isn't making more public appearances with her husband, Donald Trump.
Although the Republican frontrunner had recently promised his supporters that Melania would take an active role in his campaign, she has been conspicuously missing from important events, including Trump's Super Tuesday victory.
MAGA Supporters Claim Melania Trump 'Wants Nothing To Do With White House'
Melania's absence from Trump's side during his speech on Super Tuesday at Mar-a-Lago in Florida has got fans speculating that she "wants nothing to do with the White House."
Since the billionaire mogul began his campaign, Melania has made very few appearances at important events, and her latest act of being MIA hasn't gone down well with the MAGA group.
"Melania wants nothing to do with the White House or Donald, apparently. She showed up at one dinner in the past several months," one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
Another person said, "[Melania] wants Biden to win more than anyone. She would have to act like she is Trump's wife again, and she can't stand him. She doesn't want to be forced to be in the same house as him most of the time."
One other MAGA supporter tagged two of Melania's official X accounts and reprimanded her for her absence.
The fan said, "Well...you are failing as a strong Historic woman now! WHERE THE HECK WERE YOU? THE VICTORY SPEECH ON SUPER TUESDAY IS AT MAR A LAGO, SO I GUESS YOU ARE SITTING UPSTAIRS WATCHING TV? We loved you, but you refuse to support your husband and show no interest as First Lady!"
Donald Trump Previously Claimed His Wife Will Be Involved In His Campaign
Melania last appeared publicly with Trump at a campaign event hosted at the billionaire's Mar-a-Lago residence.
While her continued absence has raised eyebrows, Trump has reassured fans on multiple occasions that the former model will be involved in his campaign.
In one instance, he said, "She wants to make America great again" and that "she is going to be very active." At the time, he also claimed that he "would rely on her for advice," although he did not give any more details about what it would entail.
On a different occasion, he said that Melania would be "out a lot" with him because she supported his initiatives and "wants to see this country really succeed."
In the meantime, Melania has yet to comment on her possible involvement, leaving Trump's remarks unvalidated.
Donald Trump's Scandals Allegedly Played A Part In Melania's Absence
In the past, it has been speculated that Melania's absence was more than just wanting to have nothing to do with the White House. According to a source, Trump's legal scandals have been quite off-putting for the mother of one.
The insider said, per The Mirror, "[Trump's] family was very involved in the past two campaigns for president, so I'd think they would be involved again. From a distance, it seems that Melania became less enthusiastic about this role as the controversies and the scandals mounted, so I don't know how involved she'll want to be this time around."
The insider also claimed that her absence from important campaign events might be due to her wanting to protect their son Barron from too much media attention.
The source continued: "And she may be keen to guard Barron from becoming too exposed. Once you draw on your family, they become fair game for the media and opposition research."
Melania Trump And Donald Trump's Marriage Allegedly Has No Emotional Connection
For the most part, Trump has been the only one flaunting his love for Melania. Besides praising her in his public speeches at campaign events, he also recently proclaimed his love for her in a Valentine's Day message.
However, Melania did not post any public messages to him on that day, nor did she publicly celebrate their anniversary. This has led to questions about the status of the couple's marriage, with some saying it is devoid of any emotional connection.
"Very simply put, Donald is with Melania because her presence could help him win the presidency again," a source told the National Enquirer (Per Radar Online).
"She provides a living, breathing defense against claims he's a serial cheater and sexual predator. But sometimes life in Trump World is too much, even for her. "
Melania also recently renegotiated her prenup with Trump, increasing her payout to an alleged $100 million if she and the billionaire mogul ever divorce.
