the longer Melania is out of the public eye the curiouser it is. If Trump was totally in control, and could present a happy healthy Melania in public wouldn't he have done so this week? The WH Press office made a statement about where she was living, and the press is starting to count how many days since her last public appearance and reporting on places/events she isn't going to. Wouldn't he love to flip the bird to the press by having her appear at an event?
It certainly is possible that she's still feeling unwell from whatever was ailing her/that procedure and Trump is just being a dutiful husband by not imposing his selfish desires on her. But the longer it goes on, the less likely that explanation is to be correct. Especially with what we know about Trump and his insatiable desire to control the media conversation.

Truly, the corporate media is edging closer to full on support of fascism, Rosanne being the aberration when the racism went a tad too far....for now.

But he really doesn't care about anyone's image but his own.

Then again, maybe Melania is doing this to show Trump she's not going to lie down with his dirty dog self no more.
