Lara and Eric Trump showed they were seriously lacking PDA skills on the opening night of the RNC as they awkwardly attempted to kiss. Still, they are pros at showing off a united front. Lara stood proudly by her husband’s side as he confirmed his father’s presidential nomination. Lara, Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric, and Donald Trump Jr. are all scheduled to take to the stage this week.
The Trumps really are taking over the GOP. Even Barron Trump has made his first political move, confirming what we suspected about his glittering future career in Washington, D.C. Still, there was no sign of Barron on opening night. His mom, Melania Trump, was also conspicuously absent. However, despite not being there in person, she was name-checked. “When I met the president and Melania for the first time, he was kind and generous and funny as hell. Very funny,” Amber Rose said in the first speech since her MAGA conversion. “The first lady was gracious and smart with a smile that will brighten up any room.”
The former first lady has rarely been spotted by Donald Trump’s side since he announced his intention to run for a second term, but she is expected to appear this week. The GOP has played down Melania’s seeming lack of support, insisting it’s no big deal. “I think people vote for the presidential candidate, not their spouse or their vice president, or their staff,” Republican strategist Alex Conant told The Hill.
