If you've been wondering what former Republican First Lady Melania Trump has been up to since she left the White House, do not ask former Republican President Donald Trump because he has absolutely no idea.
That's the impression he gave, anyway, when asked the question by far-right news network Newsmax.
In the clip, which can be seen below, Trump gave a rambling answer that was virtually indecipherable and never answered the actual question.
Asked by Newsmax anchor and former Trump administration member Ric Grenell to "bring us up to speed on what Melania is doing," Trump replied:
"It's very funny."
"She's a very confident person."
"She was very successful as a model, she was very, very successful. and she is low key, but not actually low key, but she's low key and the people love her."
If your head is spinning, take a break and compose yourself because it only gets weirder from here.
"For instance, I'm making a speech in Ohio, where they're going to have big crowds, they already have them lined up."
"We're going to have big crowds tomorrow night, and when I go there, there will be many, many signs."
"'We love our First Lady, we love our First Lady,' and a lot of times they show a picture of a high heel, a shoe with a high heel."
So that's a thing that happened.
Now, you may be wondering if Trump went on from here to answer the question posed. Be assured, reader, he did not.
Instead, he launched into a rant about the media coverage of Melania Trump's attire during the couple's visit to Hurricane Harvey-ravaged Texas in 2017.
But then he answered the question, right?
WRONG.
Instead, Trump continued ranting about how Melania never got her due for the White House Christmas decorations or her overhaul of the Rose Garden, in which she simply ripped up a bunch of trees and hundred year old roses and paved over part of the lawn. Then it had to be redone because of drainage problems.
So what IS Melania Trump up to?
We may never know.
But at least Trump's bizarre rambling gave Twitter some laughs—along with several theories as to the former First Lady's whereabouts.

There is apparently good reason to wonder as to her whereabouts, however: According to multiple media reports, Melania Trump was nowhere to be seen at the former President's 75th birthday bash in Florida last week.
