Donald Trump recently attended the funeral of his mother-in-law, Amalija Knavs, in Florida, amidst his ongoing legal challenges. The ceremony for the former First Lady Melania Trump’s mother was held close to their Mar-a-Lago residence, where the couple was observed attending the church service together.
However, as reported by RawStory, an interesting detail emerged as Trump and Melania were seen leaving the burial in separate vehicles, sparking a flurry of speculation and commentary on social media. A video clip, shared by liberal activist Ron Filipowski, captured the moment the Trumps were about to board a black SUV, with a Secret Service agent holding the door open for Melania.
After she entered the vehicle and exchanged a few words with her husband, Trump followed suit, entering the car after her. This sequence of events led to various interpretations and remarks on social media, ranging from humorous to critical analyses of their relationship dynamics. Comments varied from suggestions of a ‘friend zone’ situation to assumptions about Melania’s assertive stance and possible disdain towards Trump.
Observers noted their body language, describing it as distant and indicative of a strained relationship. Earlier in the month, Melania announced the passing of her mother at age 78. During the eulogy, she painted a heartfelt picture of her mother, describing her as “a ray of light in the darkest of days.”
One user commented on X, “Imagine getting friendzoned by your wife.” Another user wrote, “When Melania talks Trump listens. “I don’t want you in the car, do you hear me? I don’t want any more nonsense your bullshit, your lies. Leave!” A third user commented, “Separate bedrooms, separate bank accounts, separate apartments, separate lives. I think Melanie hates him.” A fourth user wrote, “Just her body language towards him, says it all. Very cold vibes.”
Melania’s tribute highlighted her mother’s elegance, grace, and the profound impact she had on her family. She recounted the boundless love Amalija had for her husband Viktor, her daughters, and particularly her grandson Barron. Melania spoke of her mother’s nurturing nature and her role as a beacon of love and luxury in their lives.
The former First Lady also shared personal memories, reflecting on how her mother fostered her interests in cooking and fashion. She reminisced about their luxurious trips to Paris and other European cities, where they indulged in late-night design sessions, producing creations akin to artwork.
Melania’s portrayal of her mother was one of a close confidant, a source of joy and stability, and an unwavering supporter through life’s ups and downs. Meanwhile, Trump had to momentarily step away from his ongoing defamation trial in New York to attend the funeral. Despite a request to postpone the trial for a day, Forbes reported that the judge denied the extension, noting Trump’s presence was not mandatory at the hearing.
As reported by Fox News, The funeral service at the Episcopal Church was a somber occasion, with Melania’s touching eulogy offering a glimpse into the close-knit bond she shared with her mother. Through her words, it was evident that Amalija Knavs played a significant role in shaping Melania’s life and values, leaving a lasting legacy that the former First Lady deeply cherishes and honors.
