President-elect Donald Trump shared a festive holiday message on Truth Social, wishing Americans a “Merry Christmas” and hoping for a peaceful year ahead. He also posted a throwback photo from the 2018 Christmas portrait with former First Lady Melania Trump, along with a video praising Christianity and thanking those who serve the country.

However, the photo and a video of Trump at Mar-a-Lago’s Christmas dinner sparked online speculation about his relationship with Melania, who was noticeably absent from the event. Social media quickly noticed her absence, with some mocking the recycled photo from 2018.

Melania’s limited presence on the campaign trail has fueled further speculation, especially since she appeared more frequently in previous election cycles. When questioned by Fox News, Melania explained her rare appearances, noting her support for her husband, especially during an event in New York City.

Despite the controversy, Trump’s holiday message has resonated with supporters, though questions about Melania’s absence continue to swirl. As Trump aims for a return to the White House, even a holiday greeting has become a topic of speculation in the digital age.
