After Donald Trump’s victory in the 2024 US presidential election, a photo was shared by Kai Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump Jr. The picture featured Trump, his five children, and Elon Musk, but noticeably absent was Melania Trump. This led many users on X (formerly Twitter) to question where she was, with some even joking that Musk had become “part of the family now.”
The caption of the photo read, “The whole squad,” but it was the absence of Melania that caught the attention of social media users. One comment asked, “Where is Melania?” while others remarked, “Melania not even bothering to get in these pics anymore,” and “Where is beautiful Melania?”

This isn’t the first time Melania’s whereabouts have raised questions. Throughout Trump’s campaign, she remained largely away from the public eye, with some noting her limited appearances. However, she did make notable appearances, including a speech at the Republican National Convention in July and an appearance at a rally in Madison Square Garden in October.
After the victory, Melania Trump took to X to express her thoughts. She wrote, “The majority of Americans have entrusted us with this important responsibility. We will safeguard the heart of our republic – freedom. I anticipate the citizens of our nation rejoining in commitment to each other and rising above ideology for the sake of individual liberty, economic prosperity, and security.”
She also added, “American energy, skill, and initiative will bring together our best minds to propel our nation forward forevermore.”

In his victory speech, Trump made reference to his past assassination attempt, stating, “Many people have told me that God spared my life for a reason. And that reason was to save our country and to restore America to greatness, and now we are going to fulfill that mission together. We’re going to fulfill that.”
