The Trump family stepped out in their holiday best at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, with Melania accompanying the couple’s 6’7 son Barron and Donald spending quality time with his grandchildren.
It was a slightly different vibe from how the former president opened his Easter holiday, with a scorched-earth message to his political and legal enemies, claiming they want to jail him and “destroy America.”
Melania and Barron attended the Easter brunch at the Florida resort with Victor Knavs, Melania’s father.
The former first lady, 53, has been largely absent from public life lately due to her mother’s death earlier this year, and rumors have recently spread that she is in no rush to join her husband on the campaign trail.
She appeared in high spirits in her Easter best with her son Barron, who turned 18 on March 20 and surpasses his parents.

The presumptive Republican nominee for the White House in November was seen by his daughter-in-law Lara playing with their children and wearing a festive yellow version of his famous ‘Make America Great Again’ cap.
Donald has often joked about how Barron preferred football to basketball, something the former president felt his son would have excelled at given his height.
The presumptive Republican nominee for the White House in November was seen by his daughter-in-law Lara playing with their children and wearing a festive yellow version of his famous ‘Make America Great Again’ cap.
Lara, who is now co-chairman of the Republican National Committee, wrote, “When Grandpa Wears MAGA Easter” and included an emoji with sunglasses and a yellow heart as Trump hugged his grandchildren.
It wasn’t exactly sunny early Sunday when Trump posted an Easter message to his Truth Social Media account.
Trump is known for often combining ironic holiday statements, having in the past wished a Merry Christmas or a Happy Easter to “everyone, even the haters and the losers.”
However, today’s post was on a different level, aiming all-caps invective toward Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and, of course, the current President Joe Biden.
He referred to “corrupt and corrupt prosecutors and judges” who were trying to “put me in prison…because they want to destroy the United States.”
Trump said those people include “deranged” special prosecutor Jack Smith and “sick” Fani Willis, whom he called “Fauni,” while referencing the Fulton County prosecutor’s scandalous alleged relationship with a colleague.

Both are prosecuting Trump over accusations that he tried to overturn the election; Smith focuses on the federal case, while Willis continues to handle the Georgia charges.
He also called Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg “lazy on violent crime,” as well as “Crooked Joe’s Justice Department thugs,” a reference to President Biden.
He claims that “I have been illegally accused of a case that he never wanted to present and that practically all jurists say that it is a case that should not be initiated” and that doing so is against the law.
He ended the post with capital letters: ‘HAPPY EASTER TO ALL!’
Trump returned home to Florida after spending much of the week in New York, where a appeals court agreed to postpone the collection of the former president’s money $454 million civil fraud judgment if he pays a bond of 175 million dollars within a period of 10 days.
Trump won an attempt to delay the execution of the sentence, but until that last-minute pardon he appeared to be struggling to raise the original amount and was at risk of having his property seized.
If the pause had not been granted and if Trump had not been able to post the original bail on Monday, James could have asked a court to begin seizing assets, including prized real estate properties such as 40 Wall Street in Manhattan and the famous Trump Tower in the Fifth Avenue.
He also attended the wake of NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed while on duty earlier this week.
