Newsweek shares more on the story:
Laurence Leamer, author of the 2019 book Mar-a-Lago: Inside the Gates of Power at Donald Trump’s Presidential Palace, recently claimed that Melania Trump was rarely seen leaving the Florida residence and had a “strange, isolated life.” A spokesperson for the couple has yet to comment on the remarks.
While Melania Trump has not joined her husband at rallies, she endorsed his candidacy in a May interview with Fox News, telling the broadcaster she looked forward to “restoring hope for the future and leading America with love and strength.”
“We are going to have a great year. Our country has gone to hell and we’re going to turn it around, we’re going to turn it around pretty quickly,” Trump said during his speech on Sunday. “We’re going to have a great 2024, we’re going to make America great again.”
