Melania Trump Misses Family Christmas Photo Due to Mother's Illness

Former First Lady Plans to Increase Public Appearances Amid Husband's Potential 2024 Presidential Bid

Former First Lady Melania Trump was absent from the Trump family Christmas photo because she was caring for her ailing mother, Amalija Knavs, who is reportedly very sick in the hospital.
Melania Trump has been largely out of the public eye since leaving office, but sources suggest that she is planning to increase her public appearances in support of her husband's potential 2024 presidential bid.
The Trump family Christmas photo, taken at Mar-a-Lago, featured former President Donald Trump, his children, and several grandchildren, but was missing Melania and Eric Trump's family.
Melania Trump recently made a rare public appearance at a naturalization ceremony at the National Archives, and attended former first lady Rosalynn Carter's funeral.
Despite speculation about her absence, sources close to Melania Trump emphasize her devotion to her family and her support for her husband's political ambitions.
