It’s the question on everyone’s lips: “Where is Melania Trump?”
For over three weeks, first lady Melania Trump hasn’t been seen publicly.
As President Trump attends Camp David for a presidential retreat this weekend, the first lady won’t join him – marking her 22nd day of absence.
On May 14, the White House announced that 48-year-old Melania had undergone an “embolisation procedure to treat a benign kidney condition” – a procedure which involves cutting off blood supply to a tumor or growth.
But although the procedure was described as “successful” with “no complications”, Melania remained in the hospital for almost a whole week – despite being expected to only stay in the hospital for two to three days.
Heading over to Walter Reed Medical Center to see our great First Lady, Melania. Successful procedure, she is in good spirits. Thank you to all of the well-wishers!
