It seems Melania skipped last night's 'event' and wasn't mentioned when he thanked his family

Well, according to the Daily Mail.

Melania is MIA as furious Donald goes on the attack: Indicted ex-president's wife is not at Mar-a-Lago speech where he thanks family – but omits his wife – and lashes 'criminal' New York DA and 'Trump-hating judge'

Melania Trump was glaringly absent from her husband's side on Tuesday as he delivered a defiant speech at Mar-a-Lago, condemning the New York prosecutor and judge who presided over his arraignment.

The former president was supported by three of his five children - Don Jr, Eric and Tiffany - after his indictment over a $130,000 hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels.

Teenage Barron is rarely seen, and Ivanka Trump - who previously played a pivotal role in her father's political career - announced before Christmas she was playing no part in his new chapter.

But Melania's absence was keenly felt, especially given that she was seen at Mar-a-Lago as recently as Thursday. Some speculated that her absence was due to the nature of the indictment, and the fact is was connected to allegations he cheated on her with Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Hours after the indictment was announced, she was by her husband's side in a very public show of strength. The couple dined together with friends at their usual, highly-visible table, at Mar-a-Lago.

4. Why does she stay

Remember when Hillary and Bill were going through the trauma of Bill getting caught cheating publicly? It was a constant drumbeat of pundits and articles wondering why Hillary stays. Why don't we hear the same noise about Melania? This is beyond humiliating for her. I'm sure she knows he cheats and was cheating on her whenever he felt like it, but that's one thing, it's an entirely different thing for the world to know about it. Your friends and family know you're being humiliated. The public knows it too. She's a public figure, she has a publicist, this is terrible for her.

5. I feel no pity for Melania.

She knew what she was getting into when she married him. She saw the wealth, glamor, and the easy life of being a Trump wife. That he cheated on her? Gag me with a spoon.

I Really Don't Care, Do U?
