In the Trump family’s latest post-election photo, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by Don Jr.’s eldest daughter, Kai Trump, two key family members were noticeably missing: Melania Trump and Kimberly Guilfoyle. This photo, meant to capture the “whole squad,” showed President-elect Donald Trump, his children, and even Elon Musk with his young son. Yet Melania Trump, Donald’s wife, and Guilfoyle, the fiancée of Don Jr., were absent from the shot.
The image was posted by Kai Trump on Wednesday, following her grandfather’s victory in the 2024 presidential election. The caption read, “The whole squad,” but social media users quickly picked up on the missing figures, with many asking, “Where’s Melania?”
According to reports, Melania, 54, had been by Donald’s side throughout Election Day, supporting him during key moments. She was spotted visiting a polling location with him in Palm Beach, Florida, earlier in the day, wearing a stylish Dior outfit and signature oversized black sunglasses. She was also present at his victory speech in West Palm Beach that evening.
Guilfoyle, who has been a prominent figure alongside Don Jr. on the campaign trail, was also absent from the family gathering. Representatives for Melania have not commented on the matter, leaving social media abuzz with speculation. This isn’t the first time Melania’s absence in family photos has stirred public reaction. Last Christmas, a similar uproar ensued when she was missing from a family holiday picture.
While some online suggested that Melania and Kimberly’s absence may simply have been coincidental, the internet’s curiosity shows just how closely every move of the Trump family is being watched as they prepare for their next chapter in the White House.
