Fox News host asks Melania Trump why she’s finally on the campaign trail

Melania Trump was asked on Fox News Tuesday why she finally joined her husband, Donald Trump, on the campaign trail in the final stretch of the 2024 race. She was largely absent from the Republican nominee’s side for the past several months.

“You took the stage on Sunday. You surprised the former president. You surprised the whole audience. Now why are we seeing more of you on the campaign trail in the last play?” co-host Lawrence Jones asked the former first lady during a very friendly seating area on “Fox & Friends”.

The former first lady did not provide much clarity in her answer.

“It was an incredible place. I love New York City, and I think people will hear from me that day,” she said. “The arena, Madison Square Garden, the support that we have, and I want to support my husband. So I was there for him and everyone else.”

Later in the discussion, she was offered a chance to weigh in on the discourse about her husband’s increasingly fascist tendencies, reporting admiration for Nazi dictator Adolf Hitler.

“It’s terrible. He’s not Hitler,” she said, adding, “and all his supporters, they’re behind him because they want (to) see (the) country succeed.”

After being virtually invisible during most of her husband’s campaign, Melania Trump has been making a flurry of media appearances recently to promote her new book, “Melania.”

She was with the Republican nominee on Sunday at his hateful Madison Square Garden rally in New York. She also joined him at a charity dinner earlier this month, where he was at one point toasted around the time he boasted that he can grab women by the genitals.

Before that, she hadn’t joined him at any major events since the Republican National Convention in July.
