Donald Trump honored Melania Trump’s mom, Amalija Knavs, on Truth Social. The former president wrote, “Melania’s great and beautiful mother, Amalija, has just gone to a beautiful place in the sky. She was an incredible woman, and will be missed far beyond words!” Donald was saddened by the loss, but relationship expert Susan Trombetti exclusively told Nicki Swift she doesn’t see this as a catalyst for him and Melania to grow closer.
Trombetti shared, “Normally, I would say it might bring them closer, but Trump is no ordinary man.” Trombetti does think Trump is “empathetic” about Knavs’ sudden illness, and he appears to have a “deep respect” for his mother-in-law, but his hectic life will interfere with the closeness he and Melania have following Amalija’s death. She explained, “Donald is dealing with a number of trials and charges. Let’s not forget he is also running for president, and it’s an election year.” She continued, “I think the man is extremely busy if nothing else, and he probably doesn’t have much time to be closer to Melania.”
As for Melania, Trombetti acknowledges she is an independent person, but death can stir up new feelings. She said, “There’s a slight chance she could say life is too short and move on if she is unhappy, but she appears to like her life.” In the end, Trombetti believes Melania will deal with the loss of her mother on her own.
