Donald Trump protests LIVE: Where is Melania? First Lady absent amid 'separation' rumours

Donald Trump arrived in Scotland for a five-day tour, but First Lady Melania Trump was not seen alongside him.

Her absence meant she did not witness the demonstrations organised in response to the visit, as thousands turned out in protest in cities including Edinburgh and Aberdeen.

Melania's decision not to accompany the former president has reignited speculation about the state of their relationship. Reports have suggested the pair are living largely separate lives, with claims she has only spent two weeks at the White House since Mr Trump's inauguration.

Journalist Michael Wolff, who has authored several books on Mr Trump, told The Daily Beast Podcast: "They clearly do not in any way inhabit a marriage as we define marriage."

He added: "And I think maybe we can more specifically say they live separate lives. They are separated. The President of the United States and the First Lady are separated."
