Donald Trump Breaks Silence On Why Melania’s Missing From Campaign Trail

Former President Donald Trump addressed why wife and former first lady Melania Trump has yet to seriously hit the campaign trail as he makes his third bid for the Oval Office in an attempt to win a second term.

Trump told Fox News that Melania is about to surrender her treasured privacy to hit the campaign trail for him.

“It’s funny, she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot. Not because she likes doing it, but she likes the results,” he said, according to the network.

“She wants to see this country really succeed. She loves the country,” he added.

“You know, a lot of first ladies would go out — they want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them,” Trump continued. “If I didn’t introduce Melania, she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person.”

Photos posted online by Breitbart News last month captured several moments during a campaign event at the couple’s Mar-a-Lago estate featuring the Log Cabin Republicans. This was Melania’s first fundraiser of the cycle, and she was seen posing with group leaders Ric Grenell, Bill White, and Bryan Eure.

At the event, Grenell, who served as the former Director of National Intelligence in Trump’s administration and was the first-ever openly gay U.S. cabinet official in history, said that Trump will win the votes of gay voters in 2024.

“Donald Trump deserves our vote,” Grenell said in quotes provided to Breitbart News. “He is the best candidate for our safety, security, and prosperity. He sees you as 100 percent equal.”

At the event, Grenell predicted that Trump, with the support of his wife, will secure at least 50 percent of the gay vote in 2024. Eure, a prominent member of the Log Cabin Republicans and senior vice president at Willis Towers Watson, echoed this sentiment. He emphasized that gay voters are increasingly aligning with broader constituencies, focusing on issues such as the economy and public safety.
