- Analysis
It has been months since we have seen Melania and Donald Trump together, with both in good spirits. Throughout the campaign's early days, Melania chose to stay in the background and was not accompanying Donald Trump to any events. She had also not attended any of his court appearances, but that is not when the rumors really started to fly.
Over the Christmas holiday, Melania was not featured in any of the family photos, which really created a buzz. We later found out that Melania was tending to her mother, who eventually passed away, but that only brought more questions. Why was Trump holding parties at Mar-a-Lago when his wife was with her dying mother?
The rumors started to fly after the funeral for Melania's mother. As they were leaving the funeral and went to the car, Melania clearly looked agitated, and she refused to let Trump in the car with her. Trump walked away dejected, and the buzz started that Melania possibly finally had enough and was going to leave Donald Trump. She had not been seen in public with him since.
On Tuesday, Melania was finally seen by Donald Trump's side again, and she was in amazingly good spirits, which is what Trump supporters wanted to see.
Tuesday was primary day in Florida, so the media caught Trump as he was heading to the local polling station to ask him a few questions about Paul Manafort and Mike Pence.
Eventually, the questions got turned to Melania, who looked stunning and appeared to be in great spirits. When they asked Melania if she would be joining Trump on the campaign trail, with a big smile, she responded, "Stay tuned."
That is the Melania Trump Republicans want and need to see on the campaign trail with Trump. She is extremely popular among conservatives and will help Trump dramatically gain the women's vote, especially because this has been a source of attacks by Democrats.
Donald Trump does not need more drama in this election, and if Melania is back on the trail with him, it will remove something that the gossip hounds are feasting on right now.
This also opens up the door for Melania to start holding events on her own to draw in more women voters for Trump, an area where he has historically struggled. Besides, Americans need to see a happily married couple running for the Oval Office, not one that could be in the middle of a divorce. To some, this may seem like a small thing, but trust me, Melania being by Trump's side is a massive boost for his campaign.
