Melania Trump Just Made Her First Appearance in 27 Days After What Donald Calls a "Little Rough Patch"
She and her husband Donald were at FEMA Headquarters in Washington, D.C. listening to a briefing on hurricane preparedness, and Donald said she's "doing great" after the surgery.
“She went through a little rough patch but she’s doing great,” Trump said. “The people of our country love you. Thank you, honey.”
One of the reporters there said that Melania was “looking well, like her old self, perfectly healthy from at least her outward appearance.” She didn't speak at the event, according to the reporters. Earlier this week, Donald tweeted to criticize how the media speculated about Melania's absence.
"The Fake News Media has been so unfair, and vicious, to my wife and our great First Lady, Melania. During her recovery from surgery they reported everything from near death, to facelift, to left the W.H. (and me) for N.Y. or Virginia, to abuse. All Fake, she is doing really well!"
Melania herself even commented on the media conspiracies via Twitter, in a very uncharacteristic post.
"I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I'm doing. Rest assured, I'm here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!"
The First Lady will skip the G7 summit in Canada this week (which her husband is going to), and a trip to Singapore her husband is taking for a meeting about North Korea, her spokesperson said.
