First Lady of the United States Melania Trump managed to puzzle social media users with a rare selfie she released on New Year’s Eve.
The first lady posted a photo of herself on both her Twitter and Instagram accounts, “wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Peaceful and Prosperous New Year!”

A number of people noticed however that the photo originally featured another person, likely Donald and Melania’s 12-year old son Barron, who was apparently cropped out of the picture before it was posted on social media.
Wait, did Melania just crop a child out of her New Years selfie? https://t.co/BT1RiGsqW1

Is that Baron? That’d be a super cute picture if he wasn’t cut out. Frameworthy even…

This development left some wondering why Melania would do such a thing.
I dunno but great pains were taken to crop the child out of the image. Basic face-tune Melania is not how I wanted to start 2019.

Why did you crop out your child?

Others however opted to ignore this mystery and simply wished her Happy New Year.
Happy New Year! Beautiful picture, thanks for sharing.

Others used this opportunity to launch more personal attacks against the first lady.
