The Washington Examiner reports:
President Trump accused the media of being “unfair” and “vicious” to first lady Melania Trump, who has scantly been seen in public since undergoing a kidney procedure last month.
The first lady appeared at a White House event for Gold Star families on Monday, which was her first public appearance since she was underwent a procedure to address what the White House described as a benign kidney condition last month.
The procedure took place May 14, and the first lady remained in the hospital for several days. Before Monday’s event, Melania Trump had not been seen in public since May 10, which kicked off a host of speculation as to her whereabouts.
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!

…Four reporters spotted Melania in the White House last week walking merrily along to a meeting. They never reported the sighting because it would hurt the sick narrative that she was living in a different part of the world, was really ill, or whatever. Fake News is really bad!

Many more Republican voters showed up yesterday than the Fake News thought possible. The political pundits just don’t get what is going on out there – or they do get it but refuse to report the facts! Remember, Dems are High Tax, High Crime, easy to beat!
