COVERUP?
Melania Trump, Absent From President’s Sports and Fitness Day, Tweets She’s ‘At the White House’ – No One Believes Her

America Hasn’t Seen the First Lady in Weeks
First Lady Melania Trump‘s surprise and unannounced “routine” kidney surgery led many to speculate she was either very ill, getting “work done,” or just trying to escape her husband. That speculation exploded when Americans learned that the reported procedure usually requires at most one overnight stay, and she was hospitalized five days.
Worse, President Trump wasn’t with her during the surgery, and didn’t travel to Walter Reed Hospital to bring her back home to the White House.
It’s now been weeks since America has seen the First Lady – it does not appear she was present at today’s Sports and Fitness Day at the White House. The event, which was attended by children, ordinarily would have included the First Lady who has made them her focus.
One White House correspondent made it clear:
It’s Sports and Fitness Day at the White House, hundreds of children are here, and @FLOTUS, the creator of the Be Best initiative for children, is nowhere to be seen. pic.twitter.com/ygjq57gciy

Ivanka Trump was present, but not Melania Trump:

Many are curious, concerned, or conspiracy-theory spinning – so much so that the White House, or the First Lady, just posted this tweet:
I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @WhiteHouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!

Fox News is totally on it:
Moments ago, @FLOTUS tweeted on the media’s interest in her lack of public appearances. pic.twitter.com/ILXYq17szY

Meanwhile, it’s already led to more speculation.

“rest assured” doesn’t sound at all like Trump wrote this.

The American people want you to rescue yourself. You are not a prisoner in Trumpworld. You can leave anytime you want. Empower yourself. Take him for every penny.
