According to Page Six, Melania Trump’s absence from the family’s festive Christmas card has been attributed to her focus on caring for her ailing mother, Amalija Knavs. A source close to the Trumps revealed that Amalija Knavs has been unwell and hospitalized, prompting Melania to prioritize being by her side rather than attending the family Christmas celebration where the photo was taken. The revelation came through a statement from a source close to Melania Trump provided to Fox News Digital, emphasizing Melania’s dedication to her entire family and describing her as being “very devoted” to them.
The absence of Melania from the family Christmas card, initially shared on Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle’s Instagram Story, raised questions. The photo was taken at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and featured various members of the Trump family, including Donald Trump Jr., Ivanka Trump, Barron Trump, and others, posing in front of a Christmas tree.
Melania Trump, 53, has been relatively absent from public appearances amid her husband’s ongoing legal challenges. However, reports earlier this week indicated that she plans to increase her public engagements in support of Donald Trump, 77, who is reportedly considering a run for president in 2024. Melania’s increased visibility is seen as a move to support Trump’s potential re-election campaign.
