Earlier today, we reported on the bombshell news that disgraced, scandal-ridden former President Donald Trump has officially departed his Mar-a-Lago golf resort turned post-White House home in Palm Beach, headed to Manhattan, New York, where he will spend the night in Trump Tower tonight, and face his formal, historical arraignment tomorrow after the Manhattan District Attorney and the grand jury made US history when they indicted a former president of the United States last week in the infamous Stormy Daniels hush money case.
Reporting indicated that the scandal-ridden, disgraced former president intends to enter a plea of not guilty to the charges lodged against him, relating to the infamous 2016, 6-figure hush money payments made to adult film star and former Trump affair partner, Stormy Daniels, just mere weeks ahead of the 2016 presidential election that Donald Trump went on to win. According to evidence acquired through the investigation, Trump ordered his then-personal attorney and self-described “fixer,” Michael Cohen, to make the $130,000 payment to Daniels in an effort to buy the porn star’s silence ahead of the election. Trump allegedly promised to reimburse the attorney for the 6 figure payment made to Daniels. Cohen has since developed into a key, star witness in the Manhattan District Attorney’s investigation.
Video footage of Trump’s motorcade leaving his Mar-a-Lago compound has quickly gone viral across social media:

But things became more interesting still after New York Times correspondent and so-called “Trump Whisperer” Maggie Haberman took to Twitter with rather telling reporting on who accompanied the former president in his travels to Manhattan.

Spoiler alert: It seems his wife was not with him.
Haberman reports:
Trump said to be traveling to NYC with a series of aides, including Susie Wiles, Chris LaCivita, Jason Miller, Steven Cheung and head of operations Justin Caporale. Overhead helicopters watching Trump’s motorcade head to the Palm Beach airport.

You’ll notice that Melania Trump’s name is nowhere to be found on that list.
While we have absolutely no way of verifying why Melania didn’t tag along, or any way of determining if she will perhaps join him later, this certainly does raise questions about Donald’s marriage, amid multiple recent reports from inside sources who have said that the ex-First Lady isn’t exactly coping with this whole mess in a way that we would describe as “healthy,” as insiders confirm that Donald Trump’s wife is “still angry” over her husband’s porn star affair and all the scandal that has come with it. It certainly makes one wonder if the Trump marriage is rocky, and growing worse by the minute these days.
Even social media users had similar questions in response to Haberman’s tweet:
Where’s Melania?

Melania can’t come to NYC. She had a pedicure scheduled.

Wait…. His loving wife not joining him ?
— Connie Beckstrom (@mvbeckstrom) April 3, 2023
No Melania? No Ivanka? Don Jr? Eric? Anyone? HA!
— Carolann (@CarolKasun56752) April 3, 2023
It honestly makes you wonder why Melania is even still married.
