Donald Trump was photographed at Mar-A-Lago in Florida with his family on Christmas Day; however, wife Melania was not present.
As a matter of fact, according to a local author, members of the Palm Beach exclusive club are openly speculating about the whereabouts of the former first lady because she is so seldom seen there.
“Nobody knows where she is,” Laurence Leamer, author of Mar-A-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump‘s Presidential Palace, told the Telegraph. “It’s like a mystery. It’s certainly talked about.”
In November, Ms Trump made a rare public appearance when she joined the other former first ladies at Rosalynn Carter’s memorial service in Atlanta.
Mr Trump marked Christmas Day by sharing a video compilation of his festive presidential speeches amid rants about the 2024 election, his legal woes and posting a seasonal greeting that his opponents “rot in hell”.
Looking ahead to next year, Mr Trump will be juggling four criminal trials that carry a total of 91 felony counts as well as his presidential campaign.
Melania Trump’s absence from the photo also intrigued social media users.
“Where is Melania? I’m not the only one who noticed she’s not in the photo,” said Bobby_008.
“Imagine having a family photo without your wife? He is a pathetic human being,” wrote Jeff.
“Why aren’t any of them standing with their respective partners- to detract Melania’s absence?” commented @JossyTweets.
However, others didn’t find the lack of Melania Trump an issue.
“Yeh there’s also like 10 other family members missing. So?” said Raheen.
