Donald Trump attacked Nikki Haley’s husband for being deployed in the military, as Melania Trump disappeared from the campaign trail.
Trump said: “I will never run against you. She brought her husband. Where is your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s far away. What happened to your husband? What happened to your husband? Where is he? He’s gone. He knew. He knew.”

Nikki Haley’s husband is currently deployed in the Horn of Africa.
The last time Melania Trump was seen publicly with her husband, she refused to ride in the same car with him. Melania Trump did not show up to any of her husband’s court dates nor did she campaign with him during the Republican primaries.
If Trump wins, he may not return to the White House. Trump could become his own First Lady.
Trump’s comments also play into the lack of respect and contempt he has for members of the military.
It’s a sign of Trump’s desperation to get rid of Haley that Trump is attacking her husband for being deployed while Melania “Milk Carton” is nowhere to be seen.
