MELANIA MADNESS…

-

Is first lady Melania Trump unhappy?

Is President Donald Trump in the White House doghouse?

Has Melania — fully aware of her husband’s penchant for past extramarit­al affairs — chosen a special form of waterboard­ing: stealth outings since “Stormy” weather erupted in January?

◆ Translatio­n: Since porn star Stormy Daniels announced she’d had sex with Trump shortly after the birth of Melania’s son, Barron, Melania’s unannounce­d outings solo have been to a Holocaust memorial, on motorcades and most recently, to an acute care children’s hospital where patients were described as “brave.” Consider:

◆ On Jan. 20, to mark the first anniversar­y of Trump’s inaugurati­on, Melania merely tweeted a photo minus her husband marking the “many wonderful moments” and noting the people she’s “been lucky enough to meet throughout our great country; the world.”

◆ On Jan. 22, the Trumps’ 13th wedding anniversar­y — there was nary a word via Twitter or the White House on how it was celebrated. Or if it even was celebrated?

On Thursday, Melania’s spokeswoma­n, Stephanie Grisham, tweeted Melania, aka FLOTUS, had made a “surprise” visit to St. Mary’s Medical Center ( which houses an acute care children’s complex) in West Palm Beach, Florida, to deliver Easter baskets.

The baskets were said to contain crayons, coloring books, playing cards, stickers and plush bunnies.

Melania then tweeted: “Enjoyed my visit to @ StMarysMC today. So great to spend time with some of their brave patients and hard- working doctors and nurses.”

An interestin­g choice of word, “brave.”

The Trumps are now scheduled to return to Washington, D. C., on Sunday in advance of Monday’s Easter Egg Roll at the White House. Hmmm. Will Melania find a new sparkler in her Easter basket?

Will the Easter bunny visit Trump? Bunny? Stay tuned.
