Donald has recently been indicted with 34 felony counts of falsification of business records. Melania has remained largely silent, and was even absent from his post-arraignment speech at their Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach. This has sparked speculation about her opinion on the matter and the state of their marriage, forcing Melania to release a 'cryptic' statement.
Stormy Daniels 'thinks' Melania and Donald will divorce
Stormy Daniels was interviewed on the Australian radio show Kyle and Jackie O on Wednesday morning 19 April. When host Kyle Sandilands asked Daniels if she had ever contacted Melania to discuss her alleged affair with Trump, she answered that she hadn't. She then added:
She knows how to find me. Maybe she'll ask me to testify at her divorce hearing.
Sandilands asked 'you think they'll get divorced?' to which Daniels replied 'Oh, I think so'.
Daniels later said that she didn’t want to 'speak for another woman or to know what she's thinking', however she pointed out Melania’s silence and absence from Trump’s arraignment in New York on 4 April. She said:
She hasn't said anything. Silence sometimes speaks more than words and she was not with him at his arraignment.
Melania showing her support?
However, others believe that while initially silent and absent, Melania has now 'agreed to be on board'. She first seemingly demonstrated her support by finally appearing in public to have brunch with her husband on Easter weekend, as reported by SheKnows.
Now, a new Instagram photo from a Mar-a-Lago event on Friday 14 April shows Melania affectionately touching Donald’s upper arm during a conversation with a supporter. As SheKnows notes, the moment is in stark contrast to the numerous occasions Melania has been seen swatting her husband’s hand away as he reached to hold it.
Could this be another sign that Melania will continue to stand by Donald's side despite the criminal charges again him?
