Melania Trump and her son Barron were spotted at Trump Tower following the guilty verdict against former president Donald Trump. Melania, who did not appear at court during her husband’s trial, was reportedly keeping a low profile. Sources mentioned that everyone had gathered around Trump at Trump Tower, but Melania and Barron entered through a side entrance to avoid attention. Reports indicated that Melania was at Trump Tower when the guilty verdict was announced.
The mood in Trumpworld was described as somber and comparable to a funeral after the verdict was delivered. Despite Melania and the rest of the family rallying around the former president, the atmosphere was gloomy, especially at Mar-a-Lago. A Trump donor summed up the sentiment by calling it a “bummer.” Trump spoke to Melania and all his children, including Ivanka, and mentioned that the real verdict would come in November when the people vote.
Former President Trump, who had been convicted of 34 felonies in the “hush money” case, had referred to the trial as rigged and disgraceful. However, he expressed confidence that the true verdict would be delivered by the people in the upcoming election. Trump’s friends had anticipated the outcome and were prepared for the next steps, including an appeal. The trial had surprised many by concluding quickly, leading to a sense of shock within the Trump camp.
Speculation had arisen about Ivanka Trump potentially entering the campaign, despite previously distancing herself from politics. However, sources suggested that the guilty verdict may delay her entry into the campaign, with a likelihood of waiting until the convention. While Ivanka’s focus has been on her family rather than politics, plans may be altered due to recent events. The former White House aide had shown support for her father on social media, posting a childhood picture with a message of love.
Upon returning to work the day after being convicted of felony charges, Trump was noted to look older and tired by observers at Trump Tower. Despite maintaining his innocence and criticizing President Biden, the Manhattan District Attorney, and the judge overseeing the trial, Trump continued to assert his innocence. The trial outcome had left many in shock, with plans for the next steps, such as an appeal, already in motion. The focus remained on the upcoming election and the potential impact on Trump’s future political aspirations.
