Are Donald Trump and his wife secretly estranged – or is Melania just a bit strange?

That somewhat grubby question cuts to the heart of one of the more mysterious subplots of the Great Trump Saga, the longest-running American tabloid show.

One Trumpworld source told me that “Melania spends too much time online”

Yesterday, the First Lady magically reappeared for a public event at the White House. “I heard you missed me,” she began, before giving a speech about some goodly fostering initiative. “Here I am.” It was a joke her husband might have composed.

Melania hadn’t been spotted in public since the World Cup final a month ago, and the “Where’s Melania?” headlines have been sprouting up again amid all that Democrat-led speculation about her husband’s relationship with his young aide, Natalie Harp.
