On Sunday night, Melania Trump spoke at the Ford Theatres annual gala, where she served as honorary chairperson. It was her first major public appearance after her lengthy, and still unexplained, disappearance from the public eye this past month.
The strangeness of this saga reminds us just how much the workings of this administration resemble classic Hollywood thrillers such as Hitchcocks The Lady Vanishes and Rebecca or George Cukors Gaslightall mystery stories surrounding a dead or missing woman, and the desperate anxiety, even near-madness, experienced by another woman trying to solve the mystery, as she grapples with physical danger as well as the deliberate lies and misdirection of those around her. In its treatment of Melanias disappearance, the Trump administration placed us in much the same situation. We desperately tried to make sense of chaos, to fill in the void of information that opened up around an absent woman.
A lot of the excitement in watching these films comes from identifying with the baffled, imperiled heroines. Is Margaret Lockwood hallucinating or was her traveling companion really kidnapped? Can Joan Fontaine figure out what terrible fate befell her husbands first wife, Rebecca? When will Ingrid Bergman realize shes not losing her mind, but being gaslighted by evil Charles Boyer? As these characters race to make sense of chaos, so do we, dreaming up possible answers from clues provided by the movie.
To review briefly this cinematic enigma: Melania Trump enters Walter Reed to undergo, were told, a minor, normally outpatient, procedure for a benign condition, requiringparadoxicallya one-week hospital stay. Although such a procedure would have been scheduled well in advance, the First Ladys hospitalization was not announced beforehand, as would be customary.
At the hospital, witnesses spot Melanias aides dressed in surgical scrubsanother peculiarity that seems to undermine the stated facts.

Enjoy your Trump Derangement Syndrome, Rhonda!
One of her prior piles of drivel was entitled: "Stormy Daniels Is the AntiDonald Trump - Hes finally met his match."
Dude looks like a lady.
Shes a liar
A simple internet search of the kidney procedure described by the WH shows it is not outpatient surgery and requires hospitalization to monitor for serious complications
Why would an editor let someone publish a snarky dishonest piece of BS
We now know that the reporters were seeing Melania in the east wing but were not reporting it. Fake news!
People like this live in fevered swamps indeed.
I wonder if Hillary was (and still is) that great deal more Hitchcockian than Melania would ever be?
She reminds me of the simple aliens from Galaxy Quest who didnt grasp what fiction meant...except they were innocent and likable.
100% false. Melania was front and center at a White House event honoring veterans just 2 days before
Bess Truman would have driven this woman NUTS !!!!!!!!!!
.
This article is right out of Hitchcock.
It’s for The Birds.
Has Rhonda not seen the photos of robo-Hillary?
She had surgery, FFS!
“We desperately tried to make sense of chaos, to fill in the void of information that opened up around an absent woman.”
The only chaos is in your mind, lady.
LOL
She had kidney surgery as the WH told us.
What exactly is the health reason Hillary was thrown, like a side of beef, into a van? What is the health reason Hillary is wearying some kind of brace under layers & layers of clothing on hot days? What was the Health reason for Hillary wearing John Lennon blue glasses? Exactly how did Hillary break her ankle? Exactly how did Hillary break her wrist?
OH, that’s right, we are not supposed to ask those questions.
Hillary was soooo brave for “powering through” those non-health health issues.
Laz, would you hit it?
She looks like a real cu...oh, wait, it says The CUT...
