Jeremy Redfern, press secretary for Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has baselessly accused former President Donald Trump of hiding in a “basement” instead of being on the presidential campaign trail. Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, was in Florida earlier today to attend the funeral of his mother-in-law Amalija Knavs, having delivered two speeches in New Hampshire this week already and appearing twice in court in Manhattan. Trump speaks again tonight in Concord, NH. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Redfern wrote: “Current location of presidential candidates not named Ron DeSantis – Nikki Haley: Basement Donald Trump: Basement Joe Biden:...

Former First Lady Melania Trump gave a moving eulogy full of emotion at the funeral of her mother Amalija Knavs Thursday morning with her husband and family gathered around to say a final goodbye. “Her nurturing spirit had no limits, creating a legacy that will last for generations,” Melania Trump said of her mother, voice cracking with grief. “With her beauty and impeccable sense of style, she turned heads. But it was her unwavering dedication and hard work that made her exceptional.” She passed away on January 9, at the age of 78. The former first lady spoke of her...

Flyers claiming that Melania Trump is “missing” along with a phone number for the Mar-a-Lago Security Office have been scattered around the Iowa versus Iowa State football game that former President Donald Trump and Florida Governor Ron DeSantis are attending. The security office said that no one else had called about the flyers and that they were unaware of them on Saturday afternoon.“WHERE IS THIS WOMAN???” the flyers read, with a photo of Melania Trump. “WHERE IS OUR FIRST LADY? WHY IS DONALD TRUMP HIDING HER? WE MISS HER.”The flyer then provided the phone number for the Mar-a-Lago security office...

"The Kid" was released 102 years ago on January 21. It is the story of an economically marginalised man who raises and loves an abandoned baby boy through his earliest years. Modern feminism demonises the caring nature of most men and marginalises mums. The Trump family doesn't do that. As Melania has said, "We must find better ways to honor and support the basic goodness of our children ....." God Bless Her And Her Family

A Los Angeles Times columnist wrote Wednesday that Melania Trump deserved to feel 'violated' by the FBI's raid of Mar-a-Lago and ridiculed the former first lady's sex life. 'This is simply the price you pay when you are married to a sticky-handed former president who is unable to grasp the difference between things that belong to him and things that do not,' wrote columnist Robin Abcarian. The columnist mocked how anonymous Melania pals told Radar Online that the former first lady bought new underwear after hers was rummaged through, snarking at the quote: 'This is her home ... it's her...

A political action committee (PAC) has donated $650,000 to the Smithsonian Institution, with most of that money going toward the creation of portraits of Donald and Melania Trump. The paintings will ultimately go to the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C., where all other recent Presidential portraits currently reside. This is the first time a former President’s portrait has been financed by a political organization. Over the weekend, Trump’s Save America PAC disclosed a $650,000 “charitable donation” to the Smithsonian Institution with the Federal Election Commission. The funds will be used to “support the artists’ fees, shipping, framing, installation, and...

Former first lady Melania Trump is firing back after NBC resident historian Michael Beschloss criticized her renovation of the Rose Garden — blasting his comments as “misleading” and “dishonorable.” Taking to Twitter, Trump’s office slammed Beschloss for his comments about her landscaping, writing, “@BeschlossDC has proven his ignorance by showing a picture of the Rose Garden in its infancy. The Rose Garden is graced with a healthy & colorful blossoming of roses. His misleading information is dishonorable & he should never be trusted as a professional historian.” The dig was in response to Beschloss, a presidential historian and frequent critic...

Donald Trump will turn 75 today. For the first time, Trump will not be able to share messages from well-wishers on Twitter and Facebook, since he was banned by both social media platforms. Trump was born on June 14, 1946. Born to Frederick Christ Trump and Mary Anne MacLeod at Jamaica Hospital in Queens, New York City, Trump is the second-youngest of five children. He was preceded by Maryanne, Fred Jr., and Elizabeth and followed by younger brother Robert. Fred Jr. died from a heart attack in 1981 at the age of 42, while Robert died in August last year...

The former model from Slovenia, who has become one of the most famous and adored figures in American politics has now returned to the insularity of her husband’s private Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach, Florida — where the family made their permanent residence, rather than New York City, after leaving the White House — Mrs. Trump, 51, has been enjoying spa treatments and focusing on her son, Barron, as well as spending time with her parents, sources say. The former FLOTUS celebrates her birthday today, on Monday, April 26. Melania spends her birthday in Palm Beach, Florida, where she and...

Reporters traveling with first lady Jill Biden got an April Fools’ Day surprise on their flight back from California to Washington on Thursday. During meal service, a flight attendant with a “Jasmine” nametag passed out Dove ice cream bars. She wore a black mask and a black pantsuit and had short black hair. A few minutes later, “Jasmine” reemerged without the wig — revealing herself to be Jill Biden, laughing and proclaiming, “April Fools!” The first lady’s aides told reporters that they were just as surprised to discover the true identity of “Jasmine.” But what wasn’t an April fools joke...

CNN this morning mocked former First Lady Melania Trump for not publicly revealing that she and her husband received coronavirus vaccinations in January before leaving the White House. When New Day co-host John Berman complained out loud "how many lives could have been saved" if President Trump had revealed their vaccinations and promoted vaccinations to Americans, fellow host Alisyn Camerota interrupted to add, "and First Lady!" Berman obediently agreed: "and First Lady," thereafter making it a point to include Melania in the denunciation, even nodding to Camerota when he later mentioned her. At the end of the segment, Berman sarcastically...

The liberal-Democrat media celebrated Valentine’s Day a traditional way: gushy tributes to the new first lady. On Feb. 12, Jill Biden tweeted on her @FLOTUS Twitter account a photo of herself, with a scrunchie in her hair, at a Washington, D.C., bakery picking up “Valentine’s treats for the weekend.” “Don’t tell Joe,” she joked.

It's safe to say that no president's wife has been treated more disrespectfully and disgracefully than Melania Trump, who exited the White House on Wednesday after four tumultuous years. Throughout history, several first ladies – notably, Rachel Jackson, Mary Todd Lincoln, Edith Wilson, Eleanor Roosevelt and Nancy Reagan – were attacked or criticized on personal or political grounds, sometimes viciously so by their husbands' political foes. Yet, in more recent times, the general rule became that first ladies were basically untouchable unless they were working for the administration in an official role, as was the case with Hillary Clinton when...

Tim Matheson @Tim_Matheson Replying to @NBCNews So wonderful to have a First Lady with class and heart. And, can speak English! 1:42 PM · Jan 22, 2021

How clueless is John Berman? On the one hand, the CNN anchor trumpets the fact that Melania Trump is the first First Lady to leave the White House with a net-negative approval rating. On the other hand, his own sneering remarks are a perfect illustration of the kind of negative coverage that Melania has received during her years as First Lady which contributed to her negative ratings. During this morning's 6 am hour of New Day', Berman teased the upcoming report on Melania's ratings, saying: "Here's a pop quiz for you. Who's the only First Lady to leave the White...

First Lady Melania Trump published an op-ed Monday morning on the official White House website about "the path forward" as the Trump Administration comes to an end. Here it is in full, courtesy of the White House: Like all of you, I have reflected on the past year and how the invisible enemy, Covid-19, swept across our beautiful country. All Nations have experienced the loss of loved ones, economic pain, and the negative impacts of isolation.As your First Lady, it has been inspiring to witness firsthand what the people of our great Nation will do for one another, especially when...

After First Lady Melania Trump read a Christmas book to children at the Children’s National Hospital, CNN falsely claimed that she broke policy by removing her mask when speaking. On Tuesday in Washington, DC, Mrs. Trump visited a handful of children to read Oliver the Ornament Meets Marley and Joan and Abbey, which was broadcast across the hospital so that children in their rooms could tune in. Mrs. Trump, who already had and recovered from the Chinese coronavirus, could be seen entering the room wearing a black mask before sitting down, more than 12 feet away from children. Then, following...
