I wondered whether she'd be going to Singapore and the G7 Summit.
She's scheduled "to appear" at a closed door dinner for Gold Star families at the White House tonight. No press allowed, but I'm sure the WH will issue some photos of her there.
Zoron's suggestion that she's suffering from severe depression just makes the most sense.
It’s already been announced she’s not going to G7 or Singapore.
A quick meditation and scan:
The Melania saga progresses. She is in seclusion and surrounded by a tight inner cabal of women, who support and help her. Her problem is that She cant. the same Gene makeup as her son, Bannon, with all that that implies.....to a limited extent, she has a condition of marginal Asbergers, normally not detectable, and normally not significant. But under conditions of extreme stress, it manifests, to an extent. That, plus "Diana Syndrome", as I have discussed, all are now playing a part. The first family are coming apart....His daughter, is also under stress....but is coping with it better. (For the time being).
Trump is becoming increasingly uncomfortable about all this. He is completely out of his depth dealing with what he calls "Women problems". He has no answers. he knows that he carries responsibility for all of this, but is in deep self-denial. It is adding to the pressure on him. This pressure will get worse.
CNN and other media are reporting that Mrs. Trump will be making a public appearance tomorrow (Wednesday). She's going to accompany her husband when he visits FEMA headquarters. Cameras will be present.

Apparently she did attend the Gold Star Family reception at the White House. I saw a phone video of her walking in with Twitler, it was from a bit of distance, but she seemed able to walk under her own power. She stayed through the whole event but did not participate. Points to Zoron and others - clearly this is more about mental illness.
Sadly, I was spot on. She was "Going through a rough patch" of an intensity that was very severe. as I said, she has these episodes from time to time. This was a bad one. It will happen again. She was closely watched, during the recent one, and significantly medicated. There is no real cure for it. Just medication. Expect more of them.
I never checked this thread before because I'm not interested at all in Melania, though Zoron had mentioned to me personally that he had been "on her case", so to speak. Then the news came out about her wearing that coat saying "I really don't care, do U?" and that got my attention. So I tried to sense what's up with her.
I sensed that she's very unhappy. But I didn't get that she was medicated, or not to any extent that it would affect much her behavior, in any case. The impression I got is that she feels trapped and she can't get out.
This is a woman that thought that the world of fashion would be her ticket out of a very uninteresting place and into a life of style and luxury. She didn't exactly love Donald when she married him, but she thought they were compatible enough and with him she could live her dream of fashion and luxury. When he decided to run for office, that dream was shaken. First Lady is definitely not something she wants to be, and in fact she's scared of the role. She isn't a political animal, but she feels his anti-immigration policy is wrong, because she's an immigrant herself. She's terrified that Trump's presidency could go terribly wrong and she would suffer the consequences of that for being his wife, in spite that she never wanted him to go down that path. And Donald has told her, in no uncertain terms, that divorce isn't an option because it would look bad on him. Melania knows how mean and destructive he can be when somebody goes against him, so she doesn't dare to divorce. They have a truce that leaves her with a very limited role as First Lady, but it's still expected of her to have some official appearances from time to time, and she resents that.
That coat was an act of rebellion against Trump. She knew it wouldn't go down well, and she deliberately wore it on an appearance about the issue that she most wants not to be connected with: immigration. Also, there are some fashion messages being sent that only a true fashionista would be able to decode. The coat is from 2016 Zara's collection. Zara is a Spanish brand, still controlled by its original Spanish owner, and the coat could be described as the opposite of a MAGA hat. It's a coat instead of a hat, green instead of red, with a message on the back instead of the front, and the flavor is 70's instead of 50's.
Maria, I'm glad you reiterated in more detail. This jives with my perception almost completely.
And while I did feel the coat was a statement to him, after all the trip was her idea and and the coat was the exact opposite of her designer sexy outfits she serms to prefer, the only other impression I got was in reference to her supposed anti bullying campaign.
While that is more about her fears for her son because of his father, it is also about negative comments about her that she doesn't care ehat anyone thinks about her anymore. She's sick of him and evetything about him thats ruining her dream life for herself and Barron.
I think she did some serious negotiating with Trump over money and more control during her 'kidney break'. She's sick of him and how this has all turned on a dime from what she wanted or expected to get from this deal of accepting being a presidents wife in an old dated white house instead of the golden palace she was enjoying.
