Nicki Swift spoke exclusively with crisis management expert Eden Gillott of Gillott Communications about Donald Trump’s assurance that his wife will eventually start appearing by his side again. According to Gillott, Donald made a mistake when he gave Kristen Welker a somewhat winded response to her question about Melania Trump. Instead of simply saying yes and moving on, he kept talking. But before he kept talking, Gillott observes, “He gave an unsure pause.” His claim that Melania was planning on joining him “pretty soon” didn’t help matters, as he seemed uncertain about his words as they were leaving his mouth. “It’s the kind of delivery you give when someone asks you to commit to something you don’t want to do or never plan to do, but you’re trying to be nice,” said Gillott. “Also, using the phrase ‘when it’s appropriate’ is evasive corporate-sounding language.”

Gillott suggested that Trump’s rambling was a sign that he was “nervous.” And right after he tried to convince viewers that they would be seeing more of Melania in the future, he said of his wife, “She’s a private person.” According to some sources, this is exactly why Melania hasn’t been front-and-center during Trump’s campaign. “At this stage of her life she does not want to be in the spotlight,” an insider told People. The source further claimed that Melania has concluded that putting some distance between herself and her husband’s scandals has proved to be a wise decision.
