There is a new war brewing between Donald Trump and his main political adversary, Ron DeSantis. The two Republicans are now feuding over Melania Trump.
In the past few weeks, someone has been playing a practical joke on Donald Trump, and he does not find it funny. All across Iowa there have been “Missing Melania” flyers.
The poster features a picture of Melania Trump and a message that reads: “Have you seen this woman? Where is our First Lady? Why is Donald Trump hiding her? We miss her. Please call 561-832-2600 if found.”
A plane with a large banner that said “Where’s Melania?” was also pictured flying over Jack Trice Stadium ahead of Donald Trump’s arrival in Iowa for an event.
Weeks ago, the Trump campaign flew a banner over the Iowa State Fair that said Be Likeable, Ron!

There is a lot of chatter about who is behind the stunt, but it seems that Donald Trump believes that Ron DeSantis and his campaign are the ones behind the move.
Some believe that Ron DeSantis is retaliating because a few weeks ago, the Trump campaign flew a massive banner over the Iowa State Fair that said “Be Likeable, Ron!”
The billionaire took to his Truth Social page, where he posted a message from political activist Laura Loomer who claims DeSantis is the one behind the mischievous deed.
The post read: “DeSantis’s campaign staff passed out flyers attacking former First Lady Melania Trump.”
Donald Trump’s wife has been noticeably absent from the campaign trail since he announced his bid for the White House almost a year ago.
Melania Trump skipped the launch of the campaign that took place in Mar-a-Lago. The former model has not been present during Donald Trump’s many court appearances or television interviews where he is defending himself against the investigations, fraud allegations, and sexual misconduct accusations.
According to a source who spoke to PEOPLE, Melania Trump is focused on the main role of her life — motherhood.
The person in the know claimed that she is making sure that her son, Barron Trump, is taken care of and is protected from the media circus.
The source claimed: “Melania is busy with her son and family, and she pays only so much attention to these issues that captivate the media.”
The insider went on to say: “Melania is good at taking care of the business at hand, which includes her own life, the life of her son, and the lives of her close family members. Melania does her best to duck the media and stay out of the issues surrounding this case and the others.”
In other words, Melania Trump will not be seen on the campaign trail anytime soon.
