Ana Navarro accuses Trump of being “selective” when he supports “his grieving wife”

“The View” co-host Ana Navarro on Thursday accused former President Donald Trump of being “selective” for political reasons about when he spends time with former first lady Melania Trump, whose mother recently died.

“His supporters in Congress are tweeting attacks on the judge for not having postponed the proceedings so that he could be with his wife Melania, who has just lost her mother,” said Navarro. “But the same guy who wanted to be with his wife Melania was in Iowa campaigning yesterday. And the same guy who wanted to be with his wife Melania was throwing a New Year's Eve party when his wife was in the hospital with his dying mother So it seems he is very selective when he wants to be with his grieving wife.

Trump told guests at his New Year's event at Mar-a-Lago that Melania was not making public appearances so she could be with her mother in the hospital. “His mother, Amalija, is very ill. But hopefully, he'll recover,” Trump told the crowd. “It's tough, tough.”

Melania was too absent of the Trump family's Christmas card so he could spend time with his mother, Page Six reported.

“It is with deep sadness that I announce the death of my beloved mother, Amalija,” Melania said. published on Tuesday. “Amalija Knavs was a strong woman who always carried herself with grace, warmth and dignity. She was totally devoted to her husband, daughters, grandson and son-in-law. We will miss her immensely and continue to honor and cherish her legacy.”
