Things got super awkward between Donald Trump and his wife Melania on stage at the close of the former President and official 2024 Republican presidential nominee’s big RNC acceptance speech last night.
In the days ahead of the event, multiple reports confirmed that Donald’s third and current wife Melania would be in attendance at the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to show her support for her husband’s former nomination as the GOP’s official candidate for the presidency.
Of course, eagle-eyed viewers kept a close watch for the former first lady but, ultimately, Melania didn’t make an appearance at the event until the final night, only showing up to attend her husband’s big speech.
And, to be frank, it looked like Donald’s wife wanted to be anywhere but there.
Melania has remained notoriously and largely out of the public spotlight ever since her husband was booted from the White House back in 2020.

With the impending 2024 presidential election creeping up just around the corner now, and her husband now officially serving as one of two candidates who will be on November’s ticket, it seems that Melania is finally kicking up to meet some of her possible first lady obligations, including showing up in person for at least some of her husband’s events.
As Donald was finally wrapping up his blow-hard speech last night, his wife of nearly 20 years joined him on the stage. However, viewers were quick to notice that, as is customary for Melania at this point, the former first lady appeared less than willing to engage in much PDA with her hubby.
Video of their awkward interaction was posted to social media by journalist Aaron Rupar:

LOLOL look at her sidestepping away from him after the dodge. @MELANIATRUMP is a fraud and a grifter too, but she loathes that guy #RNC2024 #TrumpFascism #Project2025

Melania Trump absolutely has the divorce papers on her person at all times waiting for him to lose.

Obviously, I can’t actually get into Melania’s thoughts here and honestly, I wouldn’t want to if I could — but something is not right.
