Yesterday, we found out First Lady Melania Trump underwent surgery to treat a benign kidney condition.
I thought this was an interesting tidbit.
Trump is the first US first lady to undergo such a serious medical procedure while in the White House since Nancy Reagan had a mastectomy in October 1987 https://t.co/zmXIp1t5qF

First lady Melania Trump is hospitalized after doctors performed an “embolization procedure” to treat a benign kidney condition, according to the White House. It’s the most significant medical procedure done on any sitting first lady in more than 30 years https://t.co/3oMLi3gGh3 pic.twitter.com/DatTsrdbF3

…and gave us another update this morning:
Our great First Lady is doing really well. Will be leaving hospital in 2 or 3 days. Thank you for so much love and support!

It’s great to hear she’s doing well! However, there were some less than sweet remarks from bitter resisters on Twitter, and a new gross narrative started to catch fire.
First Lady Melania Trump had surgery today, but @realDonaldTrump didn’t come with her because of his busy Monday schedule. pic.twitter.com/dvSs3akNjO

One of my best friends needed a ride &someone to stay with her until her husband could get to the hospital where she was having surgery on her toe. HER TOE. SCHEDULED Toe surgery. We did it!— Laurie Powers (@powers_lp) May 15, 2018

What's a busy man to do? Change his schedule because his wife had surgery? America look what you've done!
— Arnette Storey (@Storeylady) May 15, 2018
Surely, you see where this is going. Trump is SO selfish that he ignored his wife all day! He didn’t care she had surgery!
Except…that’s not the case. He actually missed a pretty big event in order to see her.
President Donald Trump chose to spend time with his recovering wife instead of appearing as a guest of honor at Israel’s 70th anniversary of independence celebration in Washington, DC, on Monday night.
Israeli ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer told the event’s crowd of hundreds at the Andrew Mellon Auditorium that Trump wanted to be at the event, but chose to attend to the first lady, who had undergone a planned medical procedure that day.
Ohhhhh. That must be inconvenient for Amy.
Why is Trump ignoring his wife in hospital? What a monster! What a……oh. https://t.co/SJHKXArmBy

Vice President Mike Pence praises President Donald Trump for standing with Israel, says Trump wanted to be there, but asked Pence to attend so Trump could be with First Lady Melania Trump after her long-planned medical procedure #Israel pic.twitter.com/tb91WietGb

Actually he was about to leave to go see her when I left the White House for the event, he left to go see her per reports from the press pool and he was with her at the time of this event

So no. Trump didn’t leave Melania hanging. That’s #FakeNews.
