BAD PRESIDENT
Internet Rips Trump for Not Wishing Melania a Happy Mother’s Day

President Donald Trump used his weekly message to say “Happy Mother’s Day” with a tribute to his own mother, Mary MacLeod, who passed away in 2000.
“So much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become is because of my mother,” President Trump said. “She was just incredible. warm, loving, really smart, could be tough if she had to be, but basically she was a really nice person.”
“I miss her a lot,” he noted.

But one mother President Trump did not mention is his current wife, the First Lady. Many found this to be odd, since Melania Trump is the mother of their child, 12-year old Barron Trump.
And they made clear their disappointment.
Since he didn’t, let me wish a happy Mother’s Day to his wife and mother of his child, @FLOTUS https://t.co/Tcd9kGtWrC

Did anyone else notice that he failed to mention the mother of HIS child, Melania Trump? Those two really can’t stand each other can they? Since he won’t do it, Happy Mother’s Day @FLOTUS! https://t.co/m247pL62PA

As usual it’s all about you, what about the mother’s of your children you man baby attention whore. Like Melania, who you cheated on when she became a mother. You are despicable. https://t.co/uk7HM0IOcP

This President, however, did remember his wife and the mother of his children:
Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there, especially the remarkable moms in my life, @MichelleObama and my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson. pic.twitter.com/n65fyWg7O8

Per the White House press pool, Trump arrived at the Trump National Golf Course in Sterling, Virginia, at 10:45 AM.
