Trump" rel="tag">Melania Trump will be Donald's 'rock' during the trial... but will she take the ... trends now

Melania Trump may not be publicly standing at Donald Trump's side during his trial in New York but, privately, she is backing her husband in his hush money case.

Still, her support has its limits. She is highly unlikely to testify on Trump's behalf and will be furious at her husband for bringing their son Barron into it. 

When news of Trump's $130,000 payment to porn star Stormy Daniels broke, Melania was said to be blind-sided, humiliated and furious. But, like she has done throughout multiple Trump scandals in the past, she is staying by him.

'She's not going anywhere. She's there for him,' a source familiar with the Trumps told DailyMail.com. 'They're going through it together.'

'She's been that rock of the family.'

The ever-mysterious former first lady has remained behind the closed-doors of the couple's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, while Donald Trump sits in the New York court room. 

But she's been keeping an eye on the coverage of the trial and is likely unhappy with some of what she's seen.

'I'm sure she's reading all of the news clips about it, the two of them are very similar in that way,' Stephanie Grisham, who served as Melania's communications director and chief of staff in the White House, told DailyMail.com.

In private, Melania has called the proceedings 'a disgrace,' a person with direct knowledge of her comments told The New York Times.

Grisham, who spent four years with a front row seat of the couple's interactions,  bets the former first lady 'wasn't happy' that Donald Trump talked about their son Barron in context of the case. Melania Trump is known to be very protective of her 18-year-old son. 

'He talked about missing Barron's graduation to the cameras and then again on Truth Social because it caused a lot of coverage about that and it's just not something she would have liked,' Grisham said. 

'No reason to put such a happy occasion into new stories like that, which will follow their son everywhere. I thought it was incredibly selfish of him to use Barron in that way.'

Donald Trump let loose outside the courthouse on Monday, blasting the judge about his youngest son. Barron, 18, graduates from a high school in Palm Beach on May 17 and the trial is set to still be going on by then.

A furious Trump said: 'It looks like the judge will not let me go to the graduation of my son who's worked very, very hard.

'He's a great student and he's very proud of the fact he did so well and was looking forward for years to having his graduation with his mother and father there, and it looks like the judge isn't going to allow me to escape this scam, it' a scam trial.'

Although another person close to the Trumps said Melania would also be upset if Trump had to miss their son's big day.

'She's family person and it's normal that would make someone sad,' the person said.

Melania Trump did not like to see her son in the news during the family's four years in the White House.

She rarely let Barron attend official White House events when she was first lady. Additionally, she would have Barron travel in a separate car - instead of the Beast - when he rode in the presidential motorcade. The dedicated mom even made sure he was buckled up in his SUV.

She also had Barron board Air Force One on the back stairs of the plane so there would not be photographs of him climbing the front stairs with his parents.  

While Trump has been publicly fighting 34 felony counts in New York tied to a hush money payment to porn star Stormy Daniels, Melania has remained out of sight.

And as she stays behind the closed-doors of Mar-a-Lago, Trump has surrounded himself with a team of extremely loyal and very alluring young women who are often spotted cheering him on at events or hanging out at his Mar-a-Lago golf club.

Melania is slowly returning to public life.  

On Saturday night, she will host a fundraiser at Mar-a-Lago for Log Cabin Republicans, a group of LGBT conservatives.

Trump must attend the trial, which is expected to last through May, the judge ruled. But he is free to leave the New York area on weekends.

The night of Melania's fundraiser, however, Trump is scheduled to speak at a political rally in Wilmington, North Carolina. 

Those close to her say Melania Trump is still mourning the loss of her mother, who died in January. The two were very close and Amalija Knavs was one of the few people that the former first lady completely trusted.

Her father, Viktor Knavs, lives near her and has been seen dining with Melania and the Trump family repeatedly at Mar-a-Lago.

'She's there for her father now that her mother has passed. She is there for her family,' a source said.
