WASHINGTON – First girl Melania Trump made her first televised public look in 26 days Wednesday since having surgical procedure final month.
She attended the 2018 hurricane briefing alongside her husband, President Donald Trump, on the Federal Emergency Management (FEMA) headquarters.
"Thank you, Melania. She's doing great. She went through a little rough patch, but she's doing great ... The people of our country love you," the president mentioned.
...Four reporters noticed Melania in the White House final week strolling merrily alongside to an assembly. They by no means reported the sighting as a result of it will harm the sick narrative that she was dwelling in a completely different a part of the world, was actually in poor health, or no matter. Fake News is admittedly dangerous!

The Fake News Media has been so unfair, and harsh, to my spouse and our nice First Lady, Melania. During her restoration from surgical procedure they reported the whole lot from close to demise, to facelift, to left the W.H. (and me) for N.Y. or Virginia, to abuse. All Fake, she is doing rather well!

At Wednesday's occasion, Trump touted how 17,000 FEMA and federal workers from the Department of Defense and National Guard have been deployed to the Caribbean final fall to help victims of Hurricane Maria.
"We've had three devastating major hurricanes that hit our country within a month's time," mentioned Trump. "America has never experienced so many large-scale disasters in such a short period of time and we have the most qualified staff."
Trump sat between his spouse and Vice President Mike Pence.
"It's an honor to be back at FEMA with you and the first lady," mentioned Pence.
On May 14, Mrs. Trump underwent a surgical process to deal with what her workplace described as a benign kidney situation. She spent practically a week in the hospital and was not often seen since. Nearly a month later, the hashtag, "Where is Melania Trump," started trending on Twitter.
Finally, on Monday, the primary girl returned to the highlight, attending a Gold Star household occasion that was closed to the press.
"Thank you to the Gold Star families that joined us in celebration & remembrance," Melania posted on Twitter.
The first girl is not going to accompany the president to the G7 World Leader Summit in Canada. She may even skip the summit with North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un in Singapore subsequent week.
