Spouses of Presidential Candidates ALWAYS Appear During Campaigns

[MineralMan]

So, where's Melania Trump?

Presidential candidates are always mentioning their spouses and families.

So, why haven't we heard anything about Melania from The Donald™?

Presidential candidates frequently appear during campaigns, surrounded by their families.

So, why aren't we seeing Trump's family at rallies and elsewhere?

The answers are complicated perhaps. After Melania's stupid plagiarizing of a Hillary Clinton speech, she's either persona non grata for Trump or is refusing to have anything more to do with his campaign. I suspect that both are true, and that there is a separation or divorce coming up after the election.

Donald Trump doesn't mention his wife and family, because he's so focused on his narcissistic goals that they never come to mind.

His children? He doesn't listen to them, apparently, when they advise him on campaign strategy, so they're absent as well.

1. She wore that off the shoulder something to the debate

You know he picked that

2. Yes, she was there, but that's the only place

I've seen her since the convention. She's out of this campaign, and Trump almost never mentions her, either.

4. I suspect the October surprise will be the revelation that he's screwing someone else

Which will not be a surprise at all

3. As some wag joked......

Melania is busy reading the details of her pre-nup. (might not be a joke)

Every time his kids get active in Trump's campaign, they make asses of themselves. No one is bothering to coach them on how to handle the media. Example: Ivana agrees to an interview with Cosmo without being informed of all the misogynist things her father has said on record, and so is blindsided.

5. Don't worry little 10-year-old Baron von Trump

will be in charge of all the cyber

6. They aren't family. They're props. Every last one of them is using the others for personal gain.

They're a pack, a mob, a gang, a loose association of individuals each of whom is grasping at every single thing they can while treading on the backs of everyone they can. They would turn on one another in a heartbeat, and you can expect some magnificent cannibalism in the ranks when he loses the election.

7. His brother and sister are nowhere to be found either

It seems strange. I don't think they appeared at the convention when he accepted the nomination. However, maybe they are not close. Donald was sent away to military school while his siblings remained at home with his parents. His sister is a judge so maybe she does not want to be tied to his positions.
