People can’t stop wondering where US First Lady Melania Trump is, and her latest tweet has left them confused. (Source: AP)
US First Lady Melania Trump was not seen in public for more than 20 days after a hospital operation. Her absence from public events raised quite a few concerns in the minds of Americans. As the international media couldn’t stop speculating about her whereabouts, she took to Twitter to quash rumours about her health and marriage. However, Trump is apparently doing well, if her latest tweets are to be believed.
Amid all the speculation about her shift from the White House to New York, she herself cleared the air by tweeting out to her followers — but in quite a non-Melania-ish tone. “I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!” the tweet read.
I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!

The Fake News is working overtime. Just reported that, despite the tremendous success we are having with the economy & all things else, 91% of the Network News about me is negative (Fake). Why do we work so hard in working with the media when it is corrupt? Take away credentials?

The Tax Cuts are so large and so meaningful, and yet the Fake News is working overtime to follow the lead of their friends, the defeated Dems, and only demean. This is truly a case where the results will speak for themselves, starting very soon. Jobs, Jobs, Jobs!

Drawing a parallel between her tweet and POTUS’ earlier tweet, social media went on a rollercoaster ride cracking jokes and framing strange theories about the First Lady’s tweet. Here are some other theories related to Trump and her disappearance.
I find it highly unlikely that @FLOTUS wrote this, highly unlikely
