American history has recorded many institutional wives of our presidents who captured the Nation’s attention with their emulatable character, notable wisdom, grace, and attractive personalities. Most literate Americans know the names and respective persona of “First Ladies” like Dolly Madison, Eleanor Roosevelt, and Jackie Kennedy. These admirable women, in addition to occupying their official roles as First Lady were seen as venerable in their own light by the American public.
It is truly remarkable that in the case of former President Donald J. Trump, the singular time that his First Lady, Melania, was publically seen was at the sophomoric “Dog and Pony Show” theatrically staged to impress the television viewers of Donald Trump and his ethereally beautiful spouse by dramatically and triumphally ascending the escalator in the lobby of Trump Tower. It has relevantly i been reported that members of the apparently adoring crowd of onlookers, were paid for their public presence. Strangely, since such a singular event, Melania Trump, herself, has bizarrely, appeared to be AWOL or perhaps, MIA, from all media or public appearances.
Televised views of Joseph Biden often include his wife, First Lady, Dr. Jill Biden; televised views of Vice-President Kamala Harris are often in the presence of her husband, Doug Emhoff, the newly selected Vice-Presidential candidate, Tim Walz often observed by the television viewer in the company of his wife, Gwen, In contrast, sights of Donald Trump, during and after his Presidential term, consistently fail to include the rarely seen, mannequin-like frozen smile of Melania, As an interesting aside, it is notable that, Melania, consistent with Trump’s previous (divorced) spouses, is an immigrant; a status, perniciously defamed and violently castigated by Trump as “Caravans of criminals, drug dealers, and rapists.”
Melania has never attended Trump’s numerous campaign appearances, and political rallies, nor, significantly at many eventful Court days of Trump’s criminal and civil trials for bribes and tax fraud involved in his “hush money” payments to silence prostitutes with which he has done brisk business, nor at the sexual abuse and rape trial on behalf of E. Jean Caroll, at which he was found to be guilty.
Trump’s anti-immigration declarations of the “Caravans” of rapists and criminals admitted by America’s traditional empathic admission of threatened and beleaguered immigrants is an obvious projection onto others, of his own anti-social and felonious inclinations. Trump demonstrably lives in an impenetrable self-delusional bubble and is neurotically unable to curb his own delusional failings, both characterological and moral, from his delusionally projected ones, It might be fatigue and ultimate disappointment with her husband’s systemic ego-centricity and self-absorption in his ruminative fantasies of being a “winner” and of universally being recognized as a beloved and proclaimed “star,” that constitutes the basis for her withdrawal and non-participation. However, our surmise is somewhat otherwise.
We can conceive of a highly probable scenario, in which a completely self-absorbed person, like our dyed orange-colored hair protagonist, incapable of emotion which requires mutual surrender of self, marries (“acquires”) Melania as a trophy-like acquisition for her inarguable beauty and youthful appearance. On Melania’s side of things, we can postulate a desire for international fame and the lifestyle of the rich and famous ( viz., the President of the United States) as an irresistible impulse. On the extremely rare times that the television media has transmitted pictures of the Trump First Lady, she was attired in designer dresses, no doubt of high-priced value. As we subjectively perceive it, Melania has willingly;y accepted the role of mannequin for the rewarding franchise of costly designer clothes and accessories, in place of a loving and devoted marriage. She gets her unlimited wardrobe (and money), and he gets a public show of faux masculine desirability and ownership.
Why then should the First Lady sensibly choose to wrinkle her designer dress, scuff herb Italian imported shoes, or smear her makeup by boring attendance in Court or in the political arena? She has quite enough stress and excitement with the choices of designer clothes, hairstyles, and cosmetics
