Donald Trump is again continuing his campaign to become President of the United States. The former president has been on the campaign trail for months, scoring wins in the Iowa caucuses and the New Hampshire primary. Many things point towards him becoming the Republican presidential candidate, but his wife, Melania Trump, has not been seen at his side.

Melania and her family have gone through some tough times since the passing of her mother, Amalija, in January. The former FLOTUS has said she will support her husband in a second Presidential race; however, it appears she has more important things to focus on.

Since the funeral of Melania’s mother, things have been very quiet. Now, Donald Trump shares why she hasn’t been at his side.

Melania Trump’s life has changed plenty in the last few months, not least because of the passing of her mother, Amalija.

On January 9, it was announced that Amalija had passed away at the age of 78.

Melania Trump wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, “Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity. She was entirely devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson, and son-in-law. We will miss her beyond measure and continue to honor and love her legacy.”

Amalija Knavs’ funeral was held at the Church of Bethesda-by-the-Sea in Palm Beach, Florida, on January 18. The funeral was private, and many of Trump’s family members attended.

During the private funeral, Melania Trump delivered an emotional eulogy, paying tribute to her mother’s “unparalleled affection.” She remembered her mother as “a ray of light in the darkest of days.”

“She embodied the best mother, wife, grandmother, mother-in-law – a true beacon of love and luxury in our lives,” Melania Trump said, adding that her mother’s “beauty and impeccable sense of style turned the heads of many.”

“She’s a true inspiration, a role model to me, and to so many,” the former FLOTUS said, concluding her seven-minute eulogy with, “Rest in peace, my beloved mummy.”

Analyzing a picture of Melania, Barron, and Donald Trump outside of the church, body language Judi James said the former president “seems to have adopted a pose similar to his wife Melania” and “looking much more vulnerable than usual, with his arms falling to the front of his torso and a reflective-looking frown on his face.”

While Melania Trump and her family said goodbye to her late mother, the talks about her relationship with her husband have been going on for a relatively long time. Melania and Donald have been pictured not even traveling in the same car, and she was said not to have wanted to be supporting him in person through his many legal battles in the last year.

Just months ago, Donald and Melania attended the funeral of the former president’s sister, Maryanne Trump Barry. Body language expert Judi James then stated that Donald Trump, through his actions, revealed what his relationship with his wife is like.

“There is one moment on the steps outside the church when Trump appears to attempt to adopt a strong presidential pose, standing upright with his jaw squared and his head lifted, but otherwise, he looks like a man stricken by grief,” James said.

Moreover, Judi added that Donald held his wife Melania’s hand, which was telling.

“His tight clasp on Melania’s hand looks as though it is for practical as well as emotional support. Walking down the steps he seems to lean heavily on his wife for support so that her shoulders tilt towards him in a hint that he is placing some weight on that clasp.”

The presidential race in the United States is on. After speculations about whether he should be, Donald Trump is looking to secure a second presidential term after losing the 2020 election to Joe Biden.
