Trump pays return visit to recovering first lady at hospital
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump visited his wife, Melania, in the hospital Tuesday as she continues to recover from a kidney procedure.
Trump said earlier Tuesday that the first lady is “doing really well” and that he expected her back at the White House before the end of the week. He arrived by helicopter at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center outside Washington on Tuesday afternoon and stayed for about 90 minutes before returning to the White House. He also visited Monday after doctors performed the “embolization” procedure.
“Melania is doing really well. She’s watching us right now,” Trump said Tuesday as he spoke near the Capitol at an annual tribute to law enforcement officers killed in the line of duty.
“And I want to thank the incredible doctors,” Trump added. “They did a fantastic job.”
