'It's like a funeral': Insiders describe 'gloomy' Trump Tower as Melania and Barron hide

Donald Trump's wife and youngest son were apparently hiding out at Trump Tower as his guilty verdicts on 34 counts were read in court.

Neither Melania nor Barron Trump appeared in court for the former president's trial, but sources told Page Six the pair "were smuggled in through the side entrance" at the Manhattan high-rise at some point Thursday and remained there as the jury delivered its verdict.

“Everyone says Melania and the entire family are rallying around the former president," the source added. "But the mood is nonetheless gloomy and gloomier right now. It’s definitely viewed as a downer at Mar-a-Lago.”

“It’s like a funeral," that source said. "There was hope all day and then none!”

A source said Trump had spoken to his wife and all five of his children, including Ivanka, but his allies were surprised by the conviction.

“Everyone was hoping for him to get off or at least get a hung jury," a source said. "The fact it happened rather quickly has everyone in a tizzy. But Trump’s friends say it’s not unexpected, and they’re prepared for the next steps, including the appeal.”
