Someone had better put Melania Trump on the back of a milk carton

Dear Palmer Report readers, we all understand the difficult era we're heading into. Major media outlets are caving to Trump already. Even the internet itself and publishing platforms may be at risk. But Palmer Report is nonetheless going to lead the fight. We're funding our 2025 operating expenses now, so we can keep publishing no matter what happens. I'm asking you to contribute if you can, because the stakes are just so high. You can donate here.

Earlier, Palmer Report pointed out that something was obviously very wrong with the story about Melania Trump having supposedly gone into the hospital for a routine kidney procedure. The giveaway was that after she remained in the hospital for longer than expected, Trump’s White House refused to provide any kind of update; if her kidney situation had simply become more complicated, they’d have said so. Now there’s another Melania problem: no one even officially knows where she is.

Wait, she’s still in the hospital, right? No, not necessarily. Here’s a stunning paragraph from the New York Times, which we have to quote in its entirety in order to spell out the magnitude of what’s going on here: “The West Wing would not say whether she remained at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington. Neither would the East Wing. A spokesman with the Secret Service declined to confirm the first lady’s whereabouts. And the public affairs office at Walter Reed did not respond to a request for comment.” So where the hell is she?

There are only two possibilities here. Either Melania Trump is still in the hospital at Walter Reed but none of her own people are willing to admit she’s still there, or she’s secretly somewhere else and none of her own people will admit where she’s gone. Neither of those makes any sense. If she’s still at Walter Reed, then something is going on with her health that has her team so stunned, they’re afraid to even risk confirming that she’s still in the hospital. And if she’s somewhere else, that means… we’re not even sure.

Wherever Melania Trump is, whether she’s hiding at Walter Reed or she’s been moved elsewhere, this certainly isn’t about kidney procedure. The bottom line is that the First Lady of the United States has officially vanished under suspicious medical circumstances. Her own people, and her husband’s people, are refusing to even tell us where she’s at. It’s time to put her on the back of a milk carton, because in all seriousness, she’s gone missing. To an extent she has a right to medical privacy, but the American people have a right to know what’s really going on.
