Melania Trump typically barely shows up by Donald Trump's side.
She has been an absolute ghost on the campaign trail, but she did show
up for Donald Trump's big fundraiser at Mar a Lago, and as a result of that,
people ended up calling her a hostage.
You can see here a little bit of the b roll playing of her.
She doesn't look super thrilled to be next to Donald Trump.
Same, I understand it.
Ron Filipkowski says she looks like a hostage.
Blink twice. If you need help.
And I understand the concern now as a result of that criticism, it seems
Donald Trump wanted to, I guess, reassure everyone that she was not there against
her will, that it's a consenting thing.
And so they put together this.
Of course, we had to swap the music for copyright, but here's the video.
I know you're scared sometimes. Don't know if you're wrong or right.
You've been doing things you never.
Are you taking it day by day? It seems like you lost your way.
Even when. When it still feels like you lose.
You could see what I see.
You're so much stronger than what you think.
No sleep.
Cause if you do, then your dream nightmares.
But I'll be there for everything.
Okay, obviously none of this matters. Let's be clear about that.
But, look, putting together a mash up like that and putting out a social media.
Is interesting.
If there was, if there was more than like three consecutive seconds of that,
of anything that approaches actual marital intimacy or love or anything like that.
And it was just a thing.
Like maybe if he acknowledged her on Valentine's Day or something with a video
like that, that would sort of make sense.
But in response to she doesn't look like she's happy to be near you now,
you put out video up to like 7 or 8 years old clips where she's standing
kind of near you, but not really.
And that's supposed to reassure people, including like the shot of her
in the I really don't care jacket.
I don't okay, you're happy.
I guess that's what a marriage is supposed to look like.
I guess my wife and I, who occasionally hold hands and stuff.
I guess we're doing it wrong. Francesca.
Oh, man. Oh. It's just.
Yeah. That is so bad.
It's so bad.
Like it makes me think of, you know, when, like Barack Obama, like on, you know,
Michelle's birthday or something.
There's always he posts, like some cute photo of them.
Yeah.
And you're like, oh, I almost forget that you deported, you know, a record
number of people, you know, like, and it's like this, like really heartfelt message
and you're just like, Trump would never.
And the fact that his people had to put this out.
And I just want to read because Stephanie Wolkoff, who was Melania's like, close
friend during her time in the white House, tweeted, it looks like Melania is about
to dive head first into a pool of sharks and no one's going to protect her.
I was the only lifeguard on duty when she was the first.
Whatever. Okay, lifeguard, this, that.
But it's true.
She does look like she's, like, looking around, like.
Like, is that sharp enough? Like, I bet that would kill me quick.
You know, I can't do her without doing German.
- Now I've lost my Melania. - It's good, I like it, I like it anyway.
And by the way, my favorite clip of that is.
At first I thought they were shoveling dirt onto a grave.
Me too. I think it was like a tree.
- And I was like, oh. - Ivana, hey.
I could see them bonding over this, like.
Oh, you're definitely over your ex now what it was.
- Or literally burying her together. - Yeah, 100%.
Anyway, it's such a weird, weird. I mean, look that's on them.
They said, don't vote against Trump because you think he's
in a loveless marriage or whatever, but he's the one shoving in her face,
so I'm gonna acknowledge that.
It's weird.
