Convention-Skipping Melania Makes Rare Appearance With Trump
Elizabeth Frantz / REUTERS First lady Melania Trump has traveled with President Donald Trump to Arlington, Virginia, for a memorial at the Pentagon for those killed there in the September 11 attacks.
Melania, 56, held hands with Trump, 80, as they descended the stairs to their place on stage, where she then sat next to her husband for the service, during which his eyes appeared to grow heavy and shut at times.
Her Friday appearance comes after she skipped the president’s MAGA Fyre Festival in Dallas, Texas, which was plagued by empty seats and poor viewership—despite Trump’s attendance—as it competed with the opening two games of the NFL season on Wednesday and Thursday nights.
Melania has been increasingly absent in MAGA 2.0, making zero public appearances between the World Cup Final on July 19 and a Rose Garden event on August 20—a whole month later.
This is a developing story that will be updated.
