First Lady Melania Trump has been suffering from the effects of a lingering cough due to COVID-19, preventing her from joining husband Donald Trump on the campaign trail, Fox News reported on Tuesday.
Both Melania and Donald Trump were diagnosed with COVID-19 in early October, and though President Trump recovered rapidly and returned to the campaign trail in record time, the first lady has kept a low profile.
According to the FLOTUS’s chief of staff, Stephanie Grisham, Melania “continues to feel better every day following her recovery from COVID-19.”
However, Grisham said that “with a lingering cough, and out of an abundance of caution, she will not be traveling today” to a campaign event in Pennsylvania.
The first lady announced last week that she had tested negative for the virus, but still has not made any public appearances since late September.
President Trump is scheduled to appear at a “Make America Great Again!” rally in Erie, Pennsylvania later Tuesday. With less than two weeks to go until election day, Democrat nominee Joe Biden’s home state appears to be in play, according to new polls.
A Restoration PAC/Trafalgar Group survey released Monday found that Biden’s lead on Trump has shrunk to just 1.1 percent — down from 2.3 percent last week.
Trump is maintaining a brisk campaign schedule ahead of Thursday’s presidential debate, attending nearly half a dozen campaign rallies in just three days.
Biden, on the other hand, called a lid on campaigning on Monday morning, and is not expected to appear in public until Thursday evening’s debate.

She will survive. the cough is not so dangerous
One can only hope you are wrong!
Tisk! Tisk! Nasty. You shouldn’t wish ill on anyone for fear it will be aimed at you.
You better read what the Bible says about hating.
Let’s hope you get a real bad case of it hater!
Who would ever say this but a liberal Democrat
Dear First Lady,
I am praying for you to get well soon. We miss seeing you with our President
Yes….ditto!! God bless and heal you Melania!
I am also praying for the First Lady to get well soon.
Wait a minute I just answered something to do with Harris! I am so sorry everyone. Bless our first lady make her strong and safe to continue in the White House. Jeez I can’t believe I didn’t look before I made such a terrible mistake!
And an extremely dumb one!
Better answer. Anyone can make a mistake. 😊
She is strong and young, obviously generally healthy, she’s doing the right thing until she has fully recovered. God Bless her! TRUMP 2020
Wishing you a speedy recovery from
Covid. Looking forward to seeing you Melania, Our First Lady, back at the President’s side. TRUMP 2020‼️
It isn’t uncommon to have a lingering cough with any respiratory illness because it takes a while for the lining of the lungs and larynx to heal, especially for anyone who may have allergies this time of year.
We miss Melania . . . . Wishing her a quick recovery . . . Understand what she is going through right now . . . She is one of the best things that has happened to our Country and to our President ! ! We are praying for her and for Donald every day, as are thousands of other Americans ! ! ! ! ! Much Love ! ! ! !
Ay least you care. I’m sure Trump is telling her that it’s nothing and that she shouldn’t be worried about it because he surely isn’t! My thoughts and prayers go out to her for a full recovery.
Tom – you are really nasty.
When Trump became President 3 years ago, his youngest was a little boy. I don’t know what they have been feeding him, but he is now a head taller than his dad. He sprouted up like kids usually do right after you buy school clothes.lol
Praying for you First Lady for a full recovery. God bless your efforts in making our Country Great again. Thank you President Trump. Looking forward to another 4 years. God bless your Family.
Yes, Barron sure did. He has to be at least 6’3″, so when grown will be awesome size, really smart too. Dad, I’m sure is very proud, and he is a good kid too, scruples & principles to live by.
Best wishes for First Lady Melania and hope Barron has recovered with no lingering issues. I am looking forward to having the best President ever to give us another 4 yrs President Trump. Thank you for these 4 yrs and I know it will only get better.
God bless the Trump family. Trump/Pence 2020
Be rested and get well soon.. Praying for you…
Prayers for you to feel 100 percent very, very soon Melania! We can’t wait to see you at your husbands side again! We miss you! God Bless you and your family always! Trump in 2020! He is the best President ever and you are the best First Family and a beautiful family! We love you all!
CODIV-19…is not the run-of-the-mill-influenza, and as such…some require a longer recovery time.
With that said, Melania is a very smart woman and I think her taking it slowly…is very appropriate.
Praying for a full return to good health, for our First Lady Melania and everyone COVID has struck.
Continued prayers and positive vibes to our wonderful First Lady and her family. Hope she recovers soon!
I hope the Trumps all recover well.
like that response conservative me. You should NEVER wish terrible things to happen to anyone ever.
I’ll pray for your return to full impact , the Donald needs you , and with God’s help I’m sure you’ll be running at 100% in no time , I’ll be watching for you ! ( Lord as only you can help this great First Lady return to better than ever condition , as she will fight for your will for all .) AMEN .
Wishing First Lady Melania a r’fuah shlayma (a full recovery). I was also happy to hear that Barron is doing well.
President Trump 2020.
I had this virus “flu.” I have MS and Drs. worried of my immune system against it. I got the fever and body aches which lasted all of 10 hours with me. While keeping my distance from others for another 8 days, I was back at my construction business within 3 days from the onset. For God’s sakes people, they are lying to all of you about everything. Unless you’re accessible to illnesses, quit being the dupe they want you to be. The Left has screwing people enough. Wake up and smell the air and live.
God bless Melania with a full recovery! And the rest of the family as well. We wish all the best for you all and four more years in the White House!
