It has been claimed that Melania Trump, who served as the first lady of the United States, has "no interest" in campaigning for her husband at the Republican National Convention.
Many who criticize former President Donald Trump on social media did not notice that several famous individuals were not present during the first few nights of the convention. Above all others, the question is, "Where is Melania?"
In the end, Melania Trump appeared on the convention's final day; however, according to Kaitlan Collins of CNN, she declined to speak out in support of former President Donald Trump.
"I was told by sources they tried really hard to get her to give a speech tonight. They personally — several people — personally appealed to her and she had no interest in doing so," Collins reported, as per RawStory.
"Of course a lot has changed since 2016. Donald Trump was convicted in New York in the hush money case, something that became a real point of division between he and the first lady when that story broke when they were in the White House. And so it is notable to see her coming out as Melania Trump is known for doing in her own style, in her own way, coming out by herself to sit in this box,” the CNN reporter went on.
The internet mocked Donald Trump over Melania's decision, saying, "By the looks of it, she has no interest even being there." "A smart choice on her part, to be honest," wrote @AreMond2 on Thursday.
One of the most vocal supporters of his father is Trump's eldest son, who is 46 years old and serves as executive vice president at the Trump Organization, which is owned by the Trump business family. JD Vance, the contender for vice president, was scheduled to speak on Wednesday night, but Trump Jr. spoke first. Vance is a friend of Trump Jr., and it has been stated that Trump Jr. campaigned for Vance to be chosen as the running mate.
During his statement, Trump Jr. paid respect to Corey Comperatore, who was killed in a gunshot that occurred at a Trump rally on Saturday. He praised his father for having "the heart of a lion" and praised his father for his strength.
Additionally, Kimberly Guilfoyle, a former host on Fox News, who is now engaged to Donald Trump Jr., gave a speech in Milwaukee on Wednesday evening.
With her father, Trump Jr., introducing her, the granddaughter of the former president, who is now 17 years old, spoke at the Republican National Convention on Wednesday night.
"To me, he's just a normal grandpa. To me, he gives us candy and soda when our parents aren't looking," she told the audience of Trump. "He always wants to know how we're doing in school."
She also referred to her grandfather as a "inspiration" as she concluded her remarks.
There is only one of the previous president's children that works directly for him in the White House, and that is Ivanka Trump, the one and only daughter of the former president. Together with her husband, Jared Kushner, she functioned as an official adviser for the administration.
As was the case with Melania Trump, Ivanka Trump was not included on the roster of speakers; however, she did make an appearance in the arena on Thursday when the former president addressed the audience. Ivanka Trump, who is 42 years old, also spoke at the Republican conventions in 2016 and 2020.
It is not unexpected that Ivanka Trump has been absent from the public eye because she has been making it clear for many years that she intends to retire from politics. She remarked, "I love my father very much," in a statement that was released in 2022, just a few moments after her father revealed that he would be running for the White House for the third time. "This time around, I am choosing to prioritize my young children and the private life we are creating as a family."
Eric Trump, like his father Donald Trump Jr., is an executive vice president at the Trump Organization, which is owned by the Trump family. He has also taken on a job that involves pushing for his father's political agenda in front of the public.
He is scheduled to speak at the conference on Thursday between the hours of 8 and 9 p.m. Central Time (CT). Eric, who is forty years old, is included on the official speakers' list for Milwaukee.
In addition to supporting their father, Eric Trump, who was standing next to Tiffany Trump and Donald Trump Jr., also spoke on behalf of Florida's representatives.
On Tuesday evening, the keynote presentation was delivered by Lara Trump, who is married to Eric Trump and serves as the handpicked co-chair of the Republican National Committee endorsed by the Republican nominee.
While her father was in office and throughout her father's two prior campaigns, Tiffany Trump, who is now 30 years old, avoided politics as much as possible. Despite the fact that she spoke at the conventions in 2020 and 2016, she is not included on the official speakers' list for this year's event.
While she was there on the floor with her two older brothers during the roll call nomination of their father, she is attending the Republican convention in 2024 as a delegate from the state of Florida.
Barron Trump, the youngest child of Donald Trump, was initially chosen by the Florida Republican Party to serve as an official delegate in Milwaukee. This would have allowed him to enter the political arena alongside his siblings and other members of the Trump family. The young man, who is only 18 years old, has withdrawn his name from consideration and is not included on the list of speakers.
Beginning at the beginning of this month, Barron made his debut at one of his father's campaign rallies. It is not apparent whether he will decide to take on a more public role.
During the rally in Florida, his father stated, "He is now going to college, and he got into every college he wanted to." "He made his choice, and he is a very good guy."
"He might be more popular than Don and Eric... we gotta talk about this," his father joked after the audience gave him a standing ovation on his performance.
