Melania disappeared for 27 days, causing netizens to question her wellbeing. Some speculated that something had happened to her, while others thought she had left Washington and Trump.

Earlier this month, Trump said on Twitter that Melania was recovering from surgery, and said that the rumors about her being near death, undergoing a facelift or leaving him were all fake.

CNN shared a video clip of his South Carolina speech, and Trump told the audience that he would have been open about the situation. To learn more, follow us on Twitter, at AmoMama USA.

As reported by People and The Hill, some of the other rumors were that Melania had left the White House and moved to New York or Virginia, due to abuse.

Melania was in the middle of a social media storm last week when she wore a controversial jacket with the words 'I don't care, do u?' while traveling to Texas to meet with children in migrant centers who were separated from their parents.
