Why was Melania reported to have spent FOUR DAYS on secret Trump Tower trip before her operation? 

Another mystery surrounding Melania Trump has surfaced.

New York Post gossip queen Cindy Adams reported that the first lady spent four days in Trump Tower before her kidney surgery.

Reportedly Melania met with fashion designers and was there without son Barron, who attends a school in Maryland.

Adams speculated the first lady was planning a wardrobe that would make her ‘outsparkle Markle’ – as in Meghan Markle, the actress who married Prince Harry last month and is now known as the Duchess of Sussex.

‘Without husband. Without son. Without family. But with wardrobe designers and collection couture,’ Adams wrote in a column that was published on May 14, the same day Melania Trump under went a kidney procedure at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

The first lady often appears at official White House events in designer clothes and sky-high stilettos. 

She reportedly relies on the advice of Hervé Pierre, a stylist and designer who has made pieces for her, when it comes to dressing.

She tends to favor high-end European designers like Dolce and Gabbana, Chanel, Gucci, Givenchy, and Christian Dior but has worn American staples like Ralph Lauren, Michael Kors, and Calvin Klein.

But the first lady’s wardrobe hasn’t inspired the kind of sell-out madness that Markle’s choices have brought fashion designers.

Melania Trump has yet to spark a fashion trend like her predecessor Michelle Obama did, when Obama famously barred her toned and fit arms in addition to show-casing American designers.  

The first lady has been subject to multiple conspiracy theories after she was out of public view for nearly a month after she underwent a kidney procedure. 

She returned to the public eye on Monday but will not be at the president’s ‘Celebration of America’ event on Tuesday, according to her office, although she will attend a hurricane preparedness briefing with him at FEMA on Wednesday. 

She acknowledged the chatter in a May 30 tweet, when she needled the media for speculating about her whereabouts.

‘I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!’

However, the tweet only brought more questions, as President Trump has been known to use phrases like ‘working overtime’ in his own tweets.

The White House has swatted down some conspiracy theories that have popped up – including one that held she wasn’t even in the White House.

The blog Showbiz411 quoted a source as saying the reason the first lady hasn’t been seen in public in 21 days is because her mother, Amalija Knavs, is very ill.

A source told the gossip website: ‘She’s taking care of her mother,’ who is battling a pretty serious illness.

‘They’re all at Bedminster,’ the source said. ‘Melania, her parents, Barron when he’s not in school. She’s (Melania) not in the White House.’

However, the first lady’s office knocked down the report as ‘false.’

‘Everything about that blog is false and incorrect,’ first lady communications director Stephanie Grisham told the Dailymail.com.

But reports of the various theories being bandied about include: She’s moved back to New York City, she’s cooperating with special counsel Robert Mueller, she’s living with the Obamas, working on a tell-all book or she had a secret nip and tuck that she’s healing from.

Melania Trump did make her first public appearance in 25 days on Monday at a White House event honoring military families.

Entering the event alongside President Trump, the first lady appeared well as she was videoed walking in, despite the White House saying no press coverage of the event would be allowed.

She was wearing a black dress and six-inch black heels, several attendees told the DailyMail.com.

Speculation had been rife about the whereabouts of Mrs. Trump ever since she went in for an operation on her kidney on May 14.

Laughing off the rumors that have spread around Washington like wildfire, Trump refuted speculation the couple have split, saying it was a no-go, ‘Isn’t that right, honey?’

The first lady will not accompany President Donald Trump to the G7 summit in Canada on Friday or to his historic summit in Singapore on June 12.

Before Monday evening, Melania Trump was last seen in public on May 10, when she joined her husband to welcome the return of three Americans who were being held captive in North Korea.

The first lady underwent an embolization procedure on Monday, May 14, likely to remove a cyst from her kidney. Her office said it was benign, or non-cancerous.

She spent a week in the hospital recovering at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

She returned to the White House on Saturday, May 19. Some medical professionals said the five-day hospitalization was long for such a procedure.
