Similarly, Melania Trump hasn't spoken out about Donald Trump's hush money case or shown up to court with him.

Melania Trump Has Avoided Donald Trump's Hush Money Case Because She Is Angry And "Prefers To Go About Her Business"
In April and May 2024, the news media was mesmerized by Donald Trump standing trial in New York. That made perfect sense since Trump was the first person who'd been elected the President of the United States who has fought criminal charges in court.
On top of that, there were many sideshow reasons for observers to be fascinated by Trump's so-called hush money case. For example, it didn't take long for many people to notice that Melania Trump wasn't going to court with her husband. That left many people wondering why Melania Trump wasn't showing up in court alongside Donald Trump.
In May 2024, The Irish Star published an article focused on how Melania Trump was handling Donald Trump's trial. That article cited an insider who stated that Melania was still angry about Donald Trump's alleged affair with Stormy Daniels.
Of course, it doesn't seem surprising that Melania Trump would be upset that there was so much focus on Donald Trump's alleged affair. However, The Irish Star's insider made another claim about Melania Trump's perspective on Donald Trump's New York trial.
How long did Donald Trump's marriages last, according to Who's Dated Who?
| Wife's Name: | When They Got Married: | Current Status: |
| Ivana Trump | April 9th, 1977 | Divorce Finalized December 1990 |
| Marla Maples | December 19th, 1993 | Divorce Finalized in June 1999 |
| Melania Trump | January 22nd, 2005 | Still Married |
According to the insider, Melania Trump was unphased by the potential of Donald Trump going to prison following the hush money trial. However, it is worth noting that an April 2024 report from The New York Times cited an insider who stated that Melania Trump considers the trial a "disgrace".
Still, The New York Times partially backs up the Irish Star's reporting. After all, The New York Times reported that insiders say that Melania Trump has long considered Donald Trump's hush money case to be "his problem" and not hers.
In June 2023, People published an article about how Melania Trump saw Donald Trump's various legal issues. While that piece wasn't specific to the hush money case, it backs up The Irish Star and The New York Times reporting about why Melania Trump had avoided the trial.
According to insiders that People spoke to, Melania Trump doesn't involve herself in her husband's legal peril. “As is her way, Melania remains cool and aloof and prefers to go about her business.” The insider also stated that Melania, “doesn’t want anything to do with any of it”.
People's article went on to outline another reason why the former First Lady isn't involving herself in Donald Trump's New York trial.
In addition to Melania Trump not attending Donald Trump's hush money trial, other people have been notable for their absence. As of the thirteenth day of the trial, none of Donald Trump's five children had accompanied him to court.
According to People's insiders, Melania Trump was tired of Donald Trump's legal problems as of May 2024.
“Melania does what is expected but down deep is fed up with all of the legal issues. She wants his legal team to fight this to the end and hopefully end the fight."
Melania Trump Was Prepared To Continue Her Life If Donald Trump Goes To Prison According To An Insider
In May 2024, The Mirror US published an article claiming Melania Trump has a secret plan for what to do if Donald Trump goes to prison. That article, which quoted what an insider told People, revealed that Melania Trump believed she could maintain her life in that case.
According to the report, it was believed that Melania Trump would still be happy as long as she could spend her time with her son, Barron Trump.
"Melania loves the beautiful weather and resort town atmosphere of Palm Beach, she is happy when she is in Palm Beach. She has her son and other close family members. They are tribe-like and usually stick together. Despite what happens to Donald, she will be fine. She is well taken care of."
Alternatively, based on reports and his public comments, it is unclear if Donald Trump is afraid to be sent to prison.
During an interview with NBC News' Kristen Welker, Donald Trump claimed he wasn't afraid of going to prison. "I don’t even think about it. I’m built a little differently, I guess." There also have been reports that claimed Donald Trump sees the potential political advantages of being sent behind bars.
However, other reports which cited insiders have claimed that Donald Trump fears the prospect of prison. One example of that includes a report from Rolling Stone that claimed Donald Trump is worried about what kind of prison he could be sent to in theory. More specifically, Donald Trump worries about things like whether he would have to wear a jumpsuit.
