The Trumps posed for a festive family Christmas photo — but noticeably missing was Melania Trump.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Donald Trump Jr., shared the portrait on her Instagram Story Tuesday, and while a very-grown-up Barron Trump stole the show, the former first lady was nowhere to be found.
Snapped at Mar-a-Lago, the image features Trump Jr., former President Donald Trump, Guilfoyle, Barron, Ivanka Trump, husband Jared Kushner and their kids, Tiffany Trump and husband Michael Boulos.
Barron, 17, can be seen towering in front of the Christmas tree and behind his father.
A Trump spokesperson said Melania, 53, was tending to a family matter.
Pvnew exclusively reported on Christmas that Melania actually plans to step up her public appearances in support of her husband’s bid to be re-elected president in 2024.
“Trump and his family are so secure that he will become president again that insiders at Mar-a-Lago say he’s reached an agreement with [wife] Melania [Trump] to step up top-tier diplomatic appearances in 2024,” a source told us.
The Trump insider explained that after Melania recently appeared with fellow former first ladies at Rosalynn Carter’s funeral, she is “feeling more sure of herself — as both her husband’s representative and her own position as a diplomatic figure after her positive reception at the Carter funeral.”
Melania also appeared at a citizens’ naturalization ceremony at the National Archives.
“Melania realizes it’s her time to join the ranks of historic first ladies and leave her mark on history … She feels better prepared for her potential role the second time around,” our source added, noting that the Donald’s immediate family are “solidly behind” his bid for the Oval Office.
Donald, 77, scored a legal victory last week when the US Supreme Court refused to make a quick decision about whether he has immunity from the federal charges against him over his challenge of the 2020 election results.
The 45th president’s legal team argues the former prez can’t be tried for election challenges — which culminated in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot — because his actions constituted “official acts.”
He also argued that he should be immune because the Senate already acquitted him after his January 2021 impeachment for allegedly inciting the riot.
