How will we ever get anything done at the summit if our best and brightest of this Administration is not in attendance?

Having had abdominal surgeries, even "minimally invasive" ones can leave you not feeling too good for several weeks. I think people should lay off her for taking time to heal. Besides who could blame her if she just doesn't want to join the crreep?

We’ve seen Congress people come back a day after surgery, it’s by like they’re lacking chauffeurs and doctors on call if they want to pee their head out.

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.

after he and their daughter moved down there. I assume that they have been involved with caring for him. (I had the impression that they were close with him.) He doesn't seem to have gone on any of the foreign trips with his parents, so someone would have needed to be with him.

Maybe she was barely hanging in there for the sake of 45's presidency and she simply cannot do it any longer. Surprised she lasted this long.

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

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.

There would be 24/7 speculation on RW media and internet trolls would have multiple OPs on a certain site.

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. It’s a high security environment!
