The Trump family was at their best at Mar-a-Lago on Sunday, with Melania chaperoning the couple’s 6-foot-2 son Barron and Donald spending quality time with his grandchildren.
It was a slightly different mood from how the former president opened his Easter holiday, with a scorched earth message to his political and legal enemies, claiming they wanted to capture him and “destroy America.”
Melania and Barron joined Victor Knavs, Melania’s father, for Easter brunch at the Florida resort.
The former First Lady, 53, has been largely absent from public life of late the death of her mother early this year, while rumors have been circulating lately that she is in no hurry to join her husband in the campaign.

The presumptive Republican nominee for the White House in November was spotted by daughter-in-law Lara playing with her kids and rocking a festive yellow version of his famous “Make America Great Again” cap.
Donald often joked about Barron’s preference for football over basketball, something the ex-president said his son would have been good at given his size.
The presumptive Republican nominee for the White House in November was spotted by daughter-in-law Lara playing with her children and wearing a festive yellow version of his famous “Make America Great Again” cap.
Lara, who is now co-chair of the Republican National Committee, wrote, “When grandpa wears the Easter MAGA,” and added an emoji with sunglasses and a yellow heart as Trump hugged his grandchildren.
It wasn’t exactly sunshine earlier Sunday when Trump posted an Easter message to his Truth Social Media account.
Trump is known for often combining tongue-in-cheek statements about the holidays, having in the past “wished everyone a Merry Christmas or Happy Easter, even the haters and losers.”
Today’s post, however, was on a different level and focused on all-caps invective against Special Prosecutor Jack Smith, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and of course, current President Joe Biden.
He referred to “devious and corrupt prosecutors and judges” who tried “to put me in jail… because they want to destroy America.”
Trump said these people include “deranged” special prosecutor Jack Smith and “sick” Fani Willis, whom he called “Fauni,” as he referred to the Fulton County district attorney’s scandalous alleged relationship with a colleague .

Both are prosecuting Trump over allegations that he tried to overturn the election, with Smith focusing on the federal case while Willis remains in charge of the charge against Georgia.
He also referred to “violent crime guys” Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg and to “Crooked Joe’s DOJ thugs,” referring to President Biden.
He claims that they “illegally charged me with a case that he never wanted to bring, and virtually all legal scholars say this is a case that should not be brought” and that it is against the law to do so to do.
He closed the post with all caps: “HAPPY EASTER EVERYONE!”
Trump returned home to Florida after spending much of the week in New York The appeals court agreed to suspend collection of the ex-president’s debts Judgment on $454 million civil fraud if he posts $175 million bail within 10 days.
Trump won a bid to delay the execution of the judgment, but until that last-minute delay he appeared to be struggling to raise the original amount and was at risk of having his property seized.
If the break had not been granted and if Trump had been unable to pay the original bond on Monday, James could have asked a court to seize assets, including prized real estate holdings such as 40 Wall Street in Manhattan and the famed Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue.
He also attended the wake of NYPD officer Jonathan Diller, who was killed in the line of duty earlier this week.
