Folks on other sites have been pointing out that usually, when the wife of a politician or other public feature has to do this interview, their husband is there with them. They've been asking why Donald wasn't present for this interview. Which, to me, seems like a really dumb question.

Donald wasn't there because Donald is incapable of not being the one talking - especially when there's cameras present. This is the same Donald who gave a phone interview during the RNC because it wasn't enough about him. This is the same Donald who, in his first joint interview with Pence, answered every question for his running mate. Melania wouldn't have gotten to say anything in this interview if Donald had been there.

The only question to my mind - at least on the subject of Donald's absence from this interview - is whether his handlers actually managed to persuade him to stay out of it, or if they had to lie to him about the date and location so that he'd miss it.
