Former President Donald Trump addressed criticism over a viral video featuring his wife, Melania Trump, during a recent fundraiser in Palm Beach, Florida.
Taking to Truth Social, Trump shared a romantic video montage showcasing moments with Melania at past events, including footage from their wedding. The video opens with Trump praising Melania as an “amazing mother” and an “incredible woman.”
Set to the 1987 song “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship, the montage concludes with Trump describing Melania as a woman of “great grace, beauty, and dignity” who is “so popular with the people.”
Commentators swiftly weighed in on Trump’s post. One individual referenced Trump’s personal history, stating, “Oh please Trump loves Melania Trump so much he cheated on her with a p— star after she’d had their son.” Another remarked, “So much love & devotion she has not been by his side in a single courtroom. Guess that wasn’t written into the prenup.”
Others critiqued Melania’s demeanor at the April event, with one person suggesting the video was a “pushback after her hostage video.”
Regarding Melania’s appearance at the fundraiser, where she appeared less than enthusiastic, one observer noted, “Melania Trump looked miserable standing next to her husband at a recent event in April.” Rumors have circulated about tensions between the couple, despite Melania’s infrequent public appearances with her husband.
During his presidency, Trump defended Melania’s absence from the campaign trail, emphasizing that she is not interested in extensive public exposure. “You know, a lot of first ladies will go out. They want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them. If I didn’t introduce Melania she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person,” Trump explained.
Melania, according to Trump, “loves the country” and will engage with the public when she chooses, underscoring her desire for a “great” America.
