Melania Trump’s absence at the Daytona 500 has left fans speculating about possible marriage problems. People were quick to note that this is the second event this month that the President attended without his wife.
Donald Trump showed up at the NASCAR race in the Air Force One, which flew over the race track. People were gathered to watch the Great American Race which took place in Florida at the Daytona International Speedway.
The Republican has served as the grand marshal in 2020 when he graced the NASCAR event. Trump spoke about exactly what he appreciates about the sport in an interview with Fox. The 78-year-old shared his admiration for the drivers who are courageous enough to pursue the “pure American glory.”
Trump reportedly left for the Daytona Beach and was accompanied by several guests. The President was joined by his son Eric Trump, grandson Luke, Sean Duffy Doug Burgum and his wife.
Melania Trump who has previously attended the NASCAR race in 2020 along with her husband was nowhere to be seen this year. What worried fans even more was the fact that the First Lady did not attend the Super Bowl either. Trump showed up to the arena accompanied by his daughter Ivanka Trump.
Fans of the couple took to X(formerly known as Twitter), to express their concerns regarding the couple’s marriage. “Doesn’t it seem odd to you that Melania is basically MIA? I miss seeing her with him… Also…hope she’s okay,” one comment read.
“Was hoping to see Melania on this trip,” a second added. A third inquired where the First Lady was while expressing their wish to see the “world’s power couple” together.
A few fans were put at ease after Trump wrote a Presidential Message that mentioned his wife. In the post, he wrote about how he was looking forward to joining tens of thousands of “American Patriots” at the race. He also noted how the racers who are competing are a representation of the nation’s love for “tradition, competition, and automotive innovation.”
He observed how the sport brings different people together who are passionate about “speed, adrenaline, and the thrill of the race.” He signed off the message on behalf of himself and his wife. “Melania and I send our best wishes for a safe and successful race,” Trump wrote.
Trump’s Super Bowl appearance made quite the buzz at the Caesar’s Superdome arena. The President received a warm welcome from the sports fans at the match. Fans applauded and cheered for the President every time he was shown on the jumbotron in the stadium.

The Republican who became the first U.S. President to attend the Super Bowl in person strangely decided to leave the match at half-time. His early exit caused people to speculate about the swift exit on social media. Will Geddes, who is an expert in security operations revealed how the President leaving early was a safer option.
Geddes shared how the President’s security team needs a lot of time and space to get him in and out of a place. Which would have been impossible to do after the match ended factoring in the crowd of fans that would also leave.
