Trump took to Twitter to a few minutes ago to defend his First Lady against what he calls vicious attacks leveled by the Fake News Media.
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!

It is pretty amazing how the media has seemingly forgotten that she was just in the hospital a few weeks ago having surgery.
Trump even says four reporters saw Melania walking to a meeting last week, before her Gold Star meeting this past Monday, and failed to report it.
...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!

I like seeing Trump defend the First Lady on Twitter; that’s exactly what I would expect him to do. If that’s all he did I wouldn’t have any complaints. But you know…
On a different note Trump praised Republicans for doing well last night, suggesting that the media just doesn’t understand what’s happening in the country:
Great night for Republicans! Congratulations to John Cox on a really big number in California. He can win. Even Fake News CNN said the Trump impact was really big, much bigger than they ever thought possible. So much for the big Blue Wave, it may be a big Red Wave. Working hard!

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!
