Melania Reportedly ‘Resentful’ of Trump’s Daughter-in-Law as Sources Expose the ‘Tension’ Between them
StyleCaster Editors
The reports about weird tensions in the Trump family never end, but this time, they are focusing on two unlikely members. That’s right, after rumors that Barron and his siblings didn’t get along, and US President Donald Trump skipping Don Jr.’s wedding, there are now reports that first lady Melania Trump and Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, don’t really get along.
According to RadarOnline, Melania was upset that Lara was part of the entourage during Trump’s recent China trip, while she wasn’t. Melani’s office put out a statement before the visit. “First Lady Melania Trump is not traveling this time,” her office reportedly told the South China Morning Post. Eric and Lara Trump, however, did join the president.

That decision has reportedly ruffled Melania’s feathers, according to astrology expert Tracy Higgs. “Melania Trump, a Taurus, and Lara Trump, a Libra, are two very different personalities when you look at them astrologically,” Higgs explained to The Mirror. “Taurus energy likes stability, privacy, loyalty, and keeping control of the environment around them, whilst Libra is naturally more social, diplomatic, and comfortable stepping into public roles.
“On the surface, they can appear harmonious because both signs dislike unnecessary confrontation, but underneath, there can be tension around position, image, and influence.”
That can reportedly cause friction, since “Taurus can become territorial, especially when they feel something important to them is being quietly replaced or overlooked. Libra, meanwhile, often tries to keep everyone happy, but can unintentionally step into spaces that emotionally belong to someone else without fully realizing the impact.”
“Taurus energy tends to withdraw rather than openly react. I do not necessarily feel she would be outwardly resentful, but I do feel there could be an internal sense of ‘that should have been my place,'” Higgs explained.
She also added, “Taurus can become quietly stubborn when hurt, and rather than making scenes, they often emotionally detach. At the same time, Melania has always carried an energy of wanting selective involvement rather than constant visibility, so part of her may genuinely not be overly bothered by the travel itself; it is more the symbolism of it that could matter.”
Eric and Lara Trump’s appearance beside the President has drawn a lot of criticism. After a banquet photo included the two, Trump and China’s Xi Jinping, comments on social media ranged from, “She should be home with her kids,” and “They have no business there. Since when does the whole family start traveling with the president?” to “This is not a normal family photo,” and, “So Trump brought everyone and the kitchen sink to China, but Mel didn’t come?
On her Substack Salty Politics writer Julie Roginsky went as far as to call Eric’s presence a “national security scandal.” A spokesperson for the Trump family tried to clarify, saying that Eric was there “in a personal capacity.”
“He will not be participating in private meetings, but will instead stand alongside the president to mark this historic occasion,” the statement explained.
As social media said, everyone gets a trip, except Melania.
