Former first lady Melania Trump broke her silence following a report on Monday by PEOPLE magazine quoting unnamed sources who said she was “uncomfortable” with husband Donald Trump’s 2024 presidential campaign and suggested Melania did not want to be a part of it.
“Melania is not now or hasn’t recently taken part in her husband’s political events,” a source reportedly told PEOPLE. “It is not comfortable for her.”
According to the source, Melania prefers to have her own space and life at their Palm Beach, Florida home in Mar-a-Lago and doesn’t like to be involved in the chaos and drama surrounding her and her husband, the former first couple.
“Melania can be aloof and not particularly friendly because she simply wants to be left alone,” the source noted further, with PEOPLE adding:
Sources earlier told PEOPLE that Melania was angry about her husband’s role in the alleged hush money payment, which stems from a rumored extramarital affair with Daniels. The former porn star has claimed the affair took place less than four months after Melania gave birth to Barron in 2006.
“She remains angry and doesn’t want to hear [the alleged hush money payment] mentioned,” a source told PEOPLE ahead of the Manhattan grand jury indicting Donald. “She is aware of who her husband is and keeps her life upbeat with her own family and a few close friends.”
On Tuesday, the former first lady essentially told the media to pound sand when it came to reports like that.
In a statement posted to Twitter, the Office of Melania Trump said: “News organizations have made assumptions about the former First Lady’s stance on subjects that are personal, professional, and political over the past few weeks.
“In these articles, unnamed sources are cited to bolster the author’s claims. We ask readers to exercise caution and good judgment when determining whether or not stories concerning the former First Lady are accurate, particularly when they fail to cite Mrs. Trump as a source of information.”

One Twitter user said: “We know what they do. We’ve got your back.”
Another said: “Don’t concern yourself with it. Liberals will try to rustle your feathers.
“They like to stir up dissension. Don’t let it phase you. Walk tall with confidence and dignity, like you always do. Be proud that you are always the smartest and the most beautiful woman in any situation.”
