The Daily Show” guest host Roy Wood Jr. is wondering why Melania Trump was absent from her husband’s post-arraignment address.

After pleading not guilty in Manhattan to 34 felony counts of falsifying business records on Tuesday, Donald Trump railed against the indictment to members and invited guests at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida.

He attacked the prosecutor and the judge, complaining that “I have a Trump-hating judge, with a Trump-hating wife and family.”

Wood Jr. noted that the former president “also has a Trump-hating wife.”

“Even the pillow salesman showed up for this speech, but his wife didn’t show up,” Wood Jr. said of Trump’s Mar-a-Lago speech, attended by Trump allies including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell. “The speech was at the house. Melania didn’t even come downstairs.”

Watch below on “The Daily Show.”
