Donald Trump gave a shout-out to his family during his speech on Tuesday, March 5, after he won Super Tuesday — but Melania Trump was nowhere to be found.
Donald Trump gave a shout-out to his family in his Super Tuesday speech.
"This is a day that we've been waiting for," the former president said to the crowd. "I want to thank my family for being here. It's a great family. I have a great family."
"They've had it very easy since I decided to run for politics," he quipped. "They say, 'Thanks a lot dad, we appreciate it.' But they're strong and they're very capable people. And they love their country, they really do."
Melania Trump was not at Donald Trump's Super Tuesday victory speech.
Of course, people were curious where the model, 53, was hiding. "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 known as Twitter, while another 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."
A third person fumed, "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!"
