NEW: First Lady Melania Trump will not attend the G7 or Singapore summit with President Trump, @FLOTUS Communications Director Stephanie Grisham tells me
How will we ever get anything done at the summit if our best and brightest of this Administration is not in attendance?

Either he beat her badly or she has finally had enough. I can imagine that Michael Avenatti constantly rubbing Stormy Daniels in his face (pun intended) has taken a toll on their marriage. How would that play with Melanie? And every time she turns on the TV there is Daniels' lawyer. I could see that leading to a screaming match and a beating.

(6,829 posts)This message is really odd. While I'm pretty sure she's gone for good, I never thought she was going to Singapore anyway. Why spotlight her absence like this? It just re-emphasizes her awol

(31,518 posts)the White House would probably make some sort of official statement to explain her absence. I wouldn't be surprised to find that she has refused to be seen in public with the orange creep ever again or be affiliated with his regime. She has never shown any enthusiasm for being FLOTUS. Maybe she just can't take it anymore.

I did see her here with her aides and Secret Service agents, but it was in an area of the West Wing where we are not allowed to take pictures. Its a high security environment!
