Trump welcomes Melania home from hospital by misspellin­g her name

-

US - President Donald Trump welcomed first lady Melania Trump home from the hospital Saturday, but initially misspelled her name as ‘Melanie’ in a tweet. “Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melania is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!” he wrote after initially tweeting and deleting the same message with a typo of the first lady’s name. “The first lady returned home to the White House this morning. She is resting comfortabl­y and remains in high spirits,” said Stephanie Grisham, the first lady’s communicat­ions director. “Our office has received thousands of calls and emails wishing Mrs. Trump well, and we thank everyone who has taken the time to reach out.” Trump has been recuperati­ng at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center since she underwent a kidney embolizati­on procedure on Monday. Grisham said Monday that the first lady was expected to stay in the hospital for the duration of the week. Pressed for more informatio­n about the first lady’s condition and why she stayed in the hospital five nights after what was possibly a routine kidney procedure, Grisham pushed back on reports speculatin­g about Trump’s health. “Every patient is different,” she told CNN. “The medical profession­als who have been giving opinions to the media based on one statement are uninformed. Mrs. Trump has a medical team that is comfortabl­e with her care, which is all that matters. Her recovery and privacy are paramount and I will have no further comment beyond this. Anyone else who chooses to speak with the media will only be speculatin­g.”

He visited his wife multiple times following the procedure. “She’s doing great. Doing great,” he told a reporter after delivering remarks at a prison reform event Friday at the White House.
