2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumSome are saying that Melania Trump is forbidden to speak in public.
That's what I'm hearing from some people familiar with the Trump campaign. Others with ties to political campaigning are saying that she has cut Trump off from any contact with her for not defending her in the PlagiarismGate brouhaha. In either case, her conspicuous absence from the campaign has been noted by many who wonder what exactly is going on between the Republican nominee and his third wife. Could a Trump family separation or even divorce be in the works? Lacking any concrete information, that's also a possibility being considered by some.
Further hints that it could be due to her questionable immigration status are also being aired by political savants. All who think about past campaigns, though, are clear that a future FLOTUS usually appears alongside the candidate at every available opportunity, and there is concern about her absence since the GOP Convention. What it means is the subject of many conversations in presidential political circles.
Many commentators have also noticed that Trump's daughter, Ivanka, appears to be taking Melania's spot during the campaign, leading to further questions. Most of those questions are open-ended, and seem to be ignored by the Trump camp.
Of course, all of this could be just a coincidence and mean nothing at all, but the questions are being raised.

(5,271 posts)Whole situation is very strange and unusual for a potential first lady to not campaign, not give interviews, not be seen except for the one appearance at the forum last week.
I wonder if she is refusing to be interviewed and appear at rallies or if Trump was caught by surprise to find out she lied about her university degree and the plagiarized speech and believes she is a liability.
Very weird that instead of correcting her bio, it was totally erased and never put back up online. Wonder if her bio was also falsified about her charitable activities.

And of course she can stay in the US -- she has an anchor baby after all.
