Melania Trump appears to miss husband's 75th birthday party: 'Where's Melania?'

Melania Trump has appeared to miss her husband's birthday celebrations.

The former US President turned 75 on June 14 and marked the occasion with a party at the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey.

Video from the party was shared on Instagram via Mr Trump's eldest son Donald Trump Jr showing guests that didn't include many family members.

The former First Lady and her son Barron, 15, were not seen in the short clip, leading many to speculate that she had skipped the event.

Mr Trump, who has based himself in Florida after leaving the White House, is staying in Bedminster for the summer months.

A source close to Mrs Trump, 51, has told People she was expected to be "going back and forth from New York and New Jersey to Florida" during the summer months, although "everything in life that Melania likes is in Palm Beach".

"Even though Melania is usually near her husband in some capacity, she keeps her own schedule and leads her own life," the source said.

Mrs Trump, the source added, "has a good life and knows it".

US talk show host Jimmy Kimmel made fun of Mrs Trump's apparent absence, speaking about it during his show.

"What a party," Kimmel said. "All the best people were there.

"Although I couldn't help but notice his wife wasn't. It's his 75th birthday. This is a big birthday.

"Where's Melania? Wouldn't it be great if she ran off with Hunter Biden? 'Where's Melania? Wait, where's Hunter?'"

Mr Trump's younger son Eric posted a photo of his father saying, "Happy Birthday Dad… we love you very much and are incredibly proud of you!"

While his wife – and Mr Trump's daughter-in-law – shared a family photo with the caption, "Happy birthday, Grandpa!!!! We love you!"
