Trump Was Too Busy Tweeting At Kanye To Get Melania A Birthday Gift
President Donald Trump said Thursday he was too busy to buy his wife Melania Trump a 48th birthday gift, a day after he enjoyed an extended Twitter lovefest with rapper Kanye West.
In a telephone interview with “Fox & Friends,” Trump claimed he’d decided to call in to the show because it was his wife’s birthday. “I picked a very, very special day because it’s Melania’s birthday so I said, let’s do it on Melania’s birthday,” he said. “So happy birthday to Melania.”
When asked what gift he had bought for his wife, the president replied:
Well, I better not get into that ’cause I may get in trouble. Maybe I didn’t get her so much. I tell you what she has done, I got her a beautiful card. You know I’m very busy to be running out looking for presents, OK? But I got her a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers.

Unsurprisingly, Trump’s comments did not go unnoticed on Twitter, where users responded in various ways.
Fox & Friends is a horrible gift. C'mon, @FLOTUS! Give yourself something nice https://t.co/S5y1uomZzA

Boy, if that Fox & Friends interview was Melania's birthday present, no wonder she never smiles around him.

I keep wondering, other than #45, if any past president would have been too busy to get their wife a birthday present? And admit this on his favorite morning tv show? Happy birthday @FLOTUS. You deserve a day of sunshine and celebration.

This is Trump to perfection: it's his wife's birthday so his present is he gets to go on tv.
