Donald & Melania Trump Hint They’re More United Than Critics Think In New Photo

The newest photo of the Trumps in their formalwear appeared to show them as a strong team. However, reposts of the shot on X (formerly Twitter) included comments that suggested the photo was (forgive the expression) fake news. Ron Filipkowski, editor-in-chief of Meidas Touch, suggested, “Melania [Trump] hasn’t been seen at a social event with [Donald] Trump in so long that the propagandists are resorting to photoshopped pics to try and fool people they are together.” Former NBCUniversal exec Mike Sington said, “Melania Trump surfaces for a party at Mar-a-Lago, appears alongside Trump and a Kardashian lookalike.” A responder joked, “The smile on her face while in the presence of her husband is a dead give-away that this is a photoshopped pic.” A follower agreed, “Nothing about that photo looks real!! LOL.”

Others were far kinder to the Trumps, pointing out Melania was still processing a difficult family loss. Conservative journalist Laura Loomer chided, “Her mother just died. Before that she was taking care of her mother who was dying from cancer. She is grieving. Let her be in peace.” Still, it’s worth noting that Donald and Melania Trump seemed disconnected at her mother’s funeral, an optic that didn’t look promising for a couple hoping to become the First Family again. Appearing together at their homebase may well have been their way of pushing back against all the “Melania’s in hiding” and “Melania can’t stand Donald” speculation.
