Earlier one reporter said she's still recovering (from outpatient procedure two weeks ago). Riiiight,

I think it has been strange that no reporters have been mentioning it.
I feel like they know something is wrong.

(33,228 posts)walking along the street yesterday. She seemed to be whistling a little tune.
This is nowhere near DC or Mar-A-Largess.
I thought I saw her in the international departures gate at JFK in NYC. She was walking hand-in-hand with a young boy of about 11 or 12 years old.
I wondered where they were traveling to. They were a nice looking mother and son but they seemed in an awful hurry. I hope they made their flight.

The tweet didn't help at all.

(3,335 posts)about the Comic who made a statement about Ivanka. Of all the things going on in the news, that's what she chose to speak out about, and we don't even know whether that was actually her. Maybe Drumpf did it, or dictated the statement so people wouldn't be asking where she is.
Demit
(11,238 posts)He loves to manipulate the news. Maybe he's forced her to lie low, so he can produce her and again mock the press and accuse them of making up "fake news."

Sunlei
(22,651 posts)major face lift (she did have 4 rows of deep furrows on each side of her face) she's divorcing or separated from the president. Trying to get off drug addiction and/or she's had a major mental health breakdown.
She could be in renal failure from 'surgery' or caught a rotting/infection from hospital stay.
Sunlei
(22,651 posts)(can't miss those lumps)those heels cause major crippling foot damage- she may be recovering from foot surgery.
Hugin
(33,228 posts)Maybe foot surgery.
Or maybe she's shacked up with H.W. being his caregiver now that Babs is gone.
Whatever, I can't believe I'm actually talking about this... But, of all of that scum she's the only person I could remotely see having a conscience. She's not blood after all.
To figure out the possibilities, I guess I'd scroll back three weeks and look at what was in the news then based on what we know now. Maybe her NDA with Trump was in the care of Cohen and she figures it was grabbed in the raid. It's possible the NDA or Pre-nup was among the crumbs deemed privileged or not and it may be soon part of court records. One thing is definite, the extent of Trump's infidelities WILL become public and she is ashamed to have bought his bullshit.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)and we have every right to know why she's missing. WH needs to come clean. Family, minus Melania, all went to Florida for the weekend. That's about it, except that Melania seems more "independent" than other FLOTUS. Huh?

(1,761 posts)The 'cover up' is just more deceit from this republican administration.
Cha
(298,116 posts)like she needed more plastic surgery?
MrsCoffee
(5,803 posts)And he probably told her it was her fault he cheated on her since she is past his expiration date. What else is she gonna do but more of the same that got her where she is? (as stupid as that sounds considering where she is now, lol)
smirkymonkey
(63,221 posts)her. She would be more than happy if he dumped her. That way she would walk away with a settlement AND her son. There are plenty of wealthy men who aren't so critical who would snap her up in a minute. The last thing she would be concerned with is pleasing HIM.
MoonRiver
(36,926 posts)Could even be a friend of Idiot lol!
meadowlander
(4,413 posts)she might as well rack up the plastic surgery bills and recovery time on her soon to be ex's dime.
RKP5637
(67,112 posts)worst pics I've seen of her she looked over botoxed, come to think of it.
Generic Other
(28,979 posts)is that she was supposed to be at Walter Reed. Do they do cosmetic surgery for dependents? I would assume only for those with disfiguring injuries from battle or accidents
Demovictory9
(32,507 posts)maybe she's had a mental breakdown.
PearliePoo2
(7,768 posts)Can we assume wherever Melania is, that Barron will be close by?
Also, it was reported that Barron didn't accompany his dad when he (BLOTUS) went to the hospital to visit her.
As close as Barron is to his mom, I find it odd that he wouldn't go with his father to see his mom in the hospital (unless he entered a back door to avoid publicity and the press).
We can be sure of one thing though: What ever the hell is going on we will be told lies and bullshit. It's what they do.

(17,667 posts)PearliePoo2
(7,768 posts)It's been 23 days since anyone has seen her in public. If she moved back to NY, I would thing the presence of SS protection would be an immediate tip-off and impossible not to notice.
Plus that bizarre moment when BLOTUS said she was up in the window watching everybody but no one was there.

(2,226 posts)Buried in the backyard of the WH.
mainstreetonce
(4,178 posts)After the election season would have made more sense or definetely after the Jun summit date.
I'm thinking it might have to do with the end of the school year.
If the child is unhappy in the WH she decided to take him away when school is over.
I think she left suddenly because he didn't have time to put together a good story.
I also think if she really had one day surgery,there would be no reason to even disclose that.

handmade34
(22,759 posts)the only reason I can see is that a lot of tax money is spent on her (and her protection) and we should know how and why that is spent...
otherwise, all of us, and them, would be better off is Melania just went home to New York and lived her life quietly

Frustratedlady
(16,254 posts)I don't know what the recovery time is today, but it was 6 weeks. I'm sure they do surgery differently now than then, but it is still a long recovery. They are usually benign.
What I don't understand is why they wouldn't disclose that. Nothing wrong with it.
Just a guess. She is probably with her parents or they are with her at the WH. She sure wouldn't get any help from the dork.

(8,020 posts)minor surgery with no overnight stay. A catheter was involved and it was pretty painful. Who knows what was really wrong with her and why do we even care? If she's hiding from trump, I would give her a thumb's up.

(23,387 posts)So maybe they have unauthorized communications nailed down. Disciplined.
By corollary, all the leaks from the White House are planned at the top.
