Trump wishes Melania a happy birthday: ‘I got her a beautiful card’

[mystery-ak]

President Trump wished first lady Melania Trump a happy birthday during a phone interview with “Fox & Friends” on Thursday.

The first lady is celebrating her 48th birthday.

“I said, let’s do it on Melania’s birthday,” Trump told the morning show hosts of his interview. “Happy birthday, Melania.”

When asked what he got her for the special day, Trump said he didn’t have time to put much thought into a gift.

“I better not get into that because I may get into trouble. Maybe I didn’t get her so much,” he explained. “I got her a beautiful card. I’m very busy to be running out looking for presents. I got her a beautiful card and some beautiful flowers.”

What every woman likes to hear...she deserves better..

He didn't have time to put any thought into a gift?  What was he doing?  Boinking another stripper? 

Dump him, honey  I don't care how much money Trump allegedly has.  You deserve better.

Even a NT like me knows when The Donald is speaking BS.

She knew EXACTLY what she was getting into when the relationship began...no croc tears from me.

I had a co-worker who, while working overseas and making a LOT of money, arranged for new Cadillac to be delivered to his wife on her birthday.

For a month, she refused to talk to him when he called, because he did not get her a card.

I'm sure she did, but back when they married, he was not the president.  Maybe his mistreatment of her was tolerable when  he was able to keep it under wraps.  Now every time either one of them sneezes, it is front page news.  She has been very publicly humiliated. 

If he was my old man, he would get a frying pan upside his head.  And I would be out the door in a hurry.

His gifts have a shelf life, anyway....


Later that year she was also given an apartment in New York City as a Christmas gift, but lost it after the two split.

What the hell. Most broads would be happy that their husband even remembered their birthday. Donny no only remembered but got her flowers and a card. Sounds fine to me.

How dare you call her "just another broad"...she's now the First Broad.  lol, and I'm probably going to hell for that...

[mrclose]

Why should anyone expect a present just because they were born?

Did they do the delivery themselves?

Besides that, have you seen the prices of cards lately?  I doubt he could afford much besides it and the flowers.

Maybe she's like me and doesn't care about getting stuff for her birthday.

my problem is what he said..*didn't put much thought into it* and it shows with flowers and a card that he probably didn't even pick out.

Birthdays are big in my house..it's not how much we spend it's a day we like to celebrate with a dinner and cake.....and a little gift....grandkids excluded

He never said it was a birthday card.

There's a big/huge difference here, isn't there?   I mean... your old man is not running or in charge of the entire nation (bigger priorities than a mere birthday)....right?

Business men in the top positions are notorious for neglecting things like birthdays, anniversaries, etc.  It's when they come bearing flowers and candy and/or jewelry for NO particular reason or occasion that you have to wonder what they're trying to make up for....lol.

I hope the flowers were better than that Charlie Brown tree Macron brought.

I once worked for an attorney who would forget his head if it wasn't attached to his shoulders.  Not his fault.  He had a heavy case workload.  It was my job to remember the birthdays, anniversaries and such foe his wife and family, and most of the time I picked out the gift and had it sent.  Of course, I told the boss what gift he sent. 

Trump has a secretary and staff.  Surely, one of them would have reminded him and maybe would have picked out a better gift than a card and flowers. 

I call BS on Trump's part.

We all know Trump is a caring man. He likes to handle personal details himself.

I'm confused.   What is the BS?  That he didn't get her a card.... or that he is pretending that's all he did? 

And I know this isn't the point, but Melania doesn't strike me as the type that cares about that sort of thing.  I bet she understands completely.  If not, she should ...by now...lol.

Exactly.  Even after 34 years of marriage, I can’t imagine ever being “too busy” to get my lovely wife a present for her birthday.  Even the few times when I was incredibly busy with “important” work stuff, I identified an appropriate gift and had my Executive Assistant pick it up for me (before the internet).  Not giving your spouse a birthday present is a sign of disrespect IMO.  This is especially true for someone like my wife who grew up in a large family where birthdays were very important events to be celebrated by all.

Didn't you read the article? He got her flowers and a card. He didn't forget shit. You want to buy your wife a new Hyundai for her birthday, that's your deal. Some of us don't see the event as a major deal like others here.

I did read the article, and I never said he "forgot" the birthday.  What I said was "I can’t imagine ever being “too busy” to get my lovely wife a present for her birthday".  I certainly don't consider cards or flowers a "present".  I just asked my wife, and she agreed.  If you do consider that a "present", you're certainly entitled to that opinion.  We just disagree.

That he said he is too busy to pick out a nice gift.  Actually, I don't think he does a whole lot of work himself, but we can disagree on that.  My point though is that however much or little work he really does,  there is no excuse for not getting her far more than a card and flowers. 

And given that Trump has been accused of boinking other women while married to her, I should think he would want to do a lot more for his wife than a card and flowers.  True or untrue, as I said, she is being humiliated by these accusations.  If he wants to keep her, a card and flowers are not enough.
