Earlier this week, former First Lady Melania Trump publicly announced that her “beloved mother,” Amalija Knavs, had passed away at the age of 78.
Melania announced her mother’s death in a post on her official X (formerly Twitter) account, writing, “It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of my beloved mother, Amalija. Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth, and dignity.”
Melania did not include her mother’s cause of death in the social media post announcing her passing. However, her husband, former President Trump, confirmed over the holidays that Melania’s mother was “very ill” with an undisclosed ailment — a matter that Trump announced to the public with little detail following questions regarding his wife’s whereabouts during the holidays. Donald’s wife was notably absent from the family’s gatherings over the holiday season, prompting the former president to disclose that Amalija was suffering from a severe illness and was even hospitalized at one point.
Former President Trump also took to his own Truth Social platform to mark the passing of his mother-in-law, who was said to be living with her husband, Melania’s father Viktor, at Donald’s Mar-a-Lago resort in recent months.
Donald’s social media posts regarding the death of his wife’s mother were a bit… Bizarre, to say the least. However, we know that people tend to grieve in their own ways.

But, frankly, I don’t think Donnie is doing much grieving at all — and neither does the rest of social media.
Not after we saw this hot mess, right on the heels of his mother-in-law passing away:

Yea… Real “grief-stricken,” huh?
Suffice it to say, X users had thoughts:
trump is really happy here. Someone needs 2 tell him it was NOT Melania that died, it was her mother.

What? Shouldn’t the “consoler” be at Melania’s side?

No, Trump is not grief-stricken. He gives grief! Just like he did to this country for four long, painful years!

But he’s grief-stricken over his, umm….it’s something that has to do with his, ummmm wife? I KNOW it’s really really very very important because he can’t be in the courtroom (where he don’t gotta be). Sad, so sad.

Over/under number of times he’s spoken 1 on 1 with Melanie’s mom.
I say right at 0.5.

He’s thinking about all the documents he can hide in the casket.
