After four months out of the spotlight, the former model has made a sudden string of public appearances … just as husband Donald Trump hints at a 2024 re-election run

Donald Trump recently said that he will “probably” wait until next year to announce whether he intends on running in the 2024 US presidential elections. It may be no coincidence that now, suddenly, Melania Trump is increasing her public appearances and stepping back into the limelight.

Melania addresses the nation

Melania stepped back into her official shoes on Veterans Day and shared a tweet honouring American troops. “We pause to recognise the selfless men and women who have fearlessly protected our nation’s freedoms,” Melania posted on Twitter alongside a video of an American flag blowing in the wind. “They bravely answered the call to serve and have earned the respect that comes with defending our great flag.”

The post came more than a year after it emerged that her husband called Americans who had died in the war “suckers” and “losers”. It emerged soon before he lost his re-election bid.

Melania honoured for her achievements
