À propos de cet audio
Over the past few days Melania Trump has managed to create as many headlines through her absence as through her presence—a balance she has perfected to near art form. Most strikingly her astonishingly low number of days spent at the White House since the start of President Trump’s latest term continues to draw intense media scrutiny and speculation. According to rolling out and other outlets political analysts and White House observers have been left astounded to learn that Melania has reportedly only spent fourteen days at the White House since inauguration. This has fueled a round-the-clock cottage industry of rumors about marital tension and her unconventional approach to the First Lady role. Social media is drenched with commentary ranging from jokey jabs about her invisibility to pointed questions about her marriage and the authenticity of her public persona. Commentators have highlighted moments where Melania appeared distant or disengaged in public such as her last confirmed appearance at the Grand Military Army Parade on June 14 where her body language with the President was closely analyzed.
Meanwhile the House Judiciary Committee became a national stage for debate about Melania’s past when Representative Jasmine Crockett openly questioned the legitimacy of her 2001 EB-1 “Einstein Visa.” Crockett did not hold back, calling out what she saw as double standards in the Trump administration’s immigration policies and using Melania’s modeling background as an example of questionable qualification for a visa meant for individuals with extraordinary achievement. This line of attack quickly made its way to trending Twitter topics with memes and hot takes fueling the fire, and the story was picked up by major outlets including CNN-News18 and The Daily Beast.
In terms of actual business activity Melania has not been idle behind the scenes. In the past month she sent a high-profile message to the Federal Trade Commission urging tech companies and lawmakers to act on child protection online. Her advocacy for the “TAKE IT DOWN Act” was credited by FTC Chairman Andrew Ferguson as a critical factor in the act’s passage. This is one of the few times a First Lady has been publicly applauded by Washington regulators for influencing significant tech policy, signaling her ongoing preference for working quietly on select causes.
It is true that when Melania does surface she always makes people talk. Her appearance at the congressional picnic on June 26 generated fresh headlines thanks to a new hairstyle that had fashion writers gushing and social media speculating about the meaning behind the makeover. Coverage by AOL and the New York Post made it clear she still knows how to command attention even in brief moments.
Overall Melania Trump is once again wielding her signature blend of visibility and enigma. Whether intentionally or through circumstance her calculated absences paired with carefully curated appearances and policy interventions have kept her firmly in the public eye. With the election cycle heating up all eyes remain trained on her next move and as always Melania seems content to keep everyone guessing.
