Donald Trump’s recent attendance at a UFC fight night in Las Vegas has sparked conversation, but not just about the event itself. Notably absent was Melania Trump, with Trump’s lawyer, Alina Habba, accompanying him instead, which has led to widespread speculation and commentary.
Richard Grenell posted a video on social media showing Habba arriving at the T-Mobile Arena with Trump’s group. They were there to see the fight between Colby Covington and Leon Edwards, but social media reactions focused more on the dynamics of Trump’s entourage.
Comments ranged from questioning why Trump is frequently seen with his lawyer to speculations about his relationship with Melania. One user remarked on Melania’s absence and Habba’s presence, suggesting that having a lawyer constantly at hand seems practical for Trump. Another comment humorously noted the replacement of Melania with a lawyer wearing a miniskirt, hinting at possible marital troubles.
Habba later posted photos from the event on her Instagram, highlighting her continued presence alongside Trump at public events. This wasn’t the first UFC fight she attended with Trump; at a previous event, she notably accessorized with a necklace reading “FJB” (a derogatory reference to Joe Biden) and a “MAGA” purse.
Habba’s Instagram features numerous pictures with Trump, and she recently implied at the Turning Point Action conference that Trump has promised her a position in his potential future administration. She spoke of taking revenge against Trump’s critics, including prosecutors, judges, reporters, and political pundits, vowing to scrutinize them closely if she finds herself in Washington.
Meanwhile, Melania Trump has been largely absent from public view, barring a few exceptions. She recently spoke at a National Archives Naturalization Ceremony, recalling her journey to U.S. citizenship. However, her low profile contrasts sharply with her husband’s public appearances and statements.
Trump’s recent speech in New Hampshire, where he made controversial remarks about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the country, has further fueled the discussion. He used strong language to describe the impact of immigration, a rhetoric reminiscent of Adolf Hitler’s in “Mein Kampf,” where Hitler criticized immigration and racial mixing.
The divergence in the public personas and activities of Donald and Melania Trump, coupled with Habba’s rising prominence alongside the former President, continues to attract attention and fuel speculation about the dynamics within Trump’s circle.
