She’s a busy person. She might not have been able to arrange it in her schedule to be there. To the best of my knowledge, she fully supports Trump’s second run for the Presidency.

That may be. But the issue at hand is whether Melania "fully supports" Trump's continuing to be her husband.

No one takes a formal "family Christmas portrait" and leaves out one of the spouses just by happenstance. I mean, please. Let's get real.

Melania’s mother is very ill and Melania is with her. See my link.

I would probably wonder about Melenia as well, if they were the same age, but they are a generation apart. That’s unfortunately what happens in May-December marriages. The younger wife doesn’t have much in common with the older husband, but she knows her duty as his wife.

I’m also realistic about the man, Trump. He’s a hard guy to get along with. I like the guy for who he is and we need him, but I suspect that he’d grate on me on a personal level if I had to spend a lot of time with him. Strong-willed people are like that.

You are full of it. Obviously you don’t understand a spontaneous family photo.

I’m guessing you don’t have a large extended family. Who said this was an official family Christmas portrait.
