What happened to Melania Trump?
The first lady "disappeared" for 20 days tweets: "I'm fine", but the Net doesn't believe her
Melania Trump is back. But only on Twitter, and the people of the Net remain skeptical. Where had the first lady gone? In the United States, many are asking this after Melania's absence from the scene for more than 20 days, and in mid-May she underwent kidney surgery. Are you still sick? Did you leave Trump? As in the best spy stories, there is no shortage of conspiracies. But let's try to see clearly.
The last apparition
The last time Melania appeared on video dates back to May 10 when she, together with her husband, President Trump, welcomed the three American hostages freed by the North Koreans. Four days later her spokesperson Stephanie Grisham announced that the first lady had been admitted to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center for surgery to treat benign kidney disease.
The reassuring tweet
Then, on Wednesday evening, Melania broke the silence: “The media are working overtime with speculations about me. Rest assured, I'm here in the White House with my family. I'm doing great and working hard for the children and the American people. " On Tuesday, Grisham replied to Politico: "I would not define it as a long absence, she was hospitalized for almost a week and now she is back home and is recovering, she has had several internal meetings with the staff and will continue to have some" .
I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!

All the theories on the 'disappearance'
Meanwhile, the most bizarre hypotheses flock to the network. Here are some reported by Politico.com:
- She left the White House and returned to New York
- She's teaming up with super DA Robert Mueller on Russiagate to frame her husband
- You are working on a truth book about Donald Trump together with the Obamas
- She and Donald are separated in the house
- She lives in a separate house in Washington with her parents - Amalija Knavs and Viktor Knavs - and her son, Barron
- She has had plastic surgery and recovery times are longer
Others, on the other hand, speculate that the intervention did not go as well as the White House would have us believe and the fact that the 48-year-old first lady would have remained in hospital for 5 days, instead of one, as expected for an operation like hers, would prove it. .
Unexcused absences
On Wednesday, Melania did not attend the White House Fitness and Sports Day, one of the events most dear to former First Lady Michelle Obama. In her place, Ivanka Trump, daughter of the president and adviser, has arrived. She won't be with her husband at Camp David this weekend. The next appointment is in mid-June for the traditional congress picnic. Then it will be the turn of the ceremonies linked to the 4th of July. Melania cannot be missing.
