President Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, has undergone surgery for what the White House described as a benign kidney condition.

The first lady’s office said surgeons had performed an embolization procedure at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

According to her spokeswoman, the surgery was successful and there were no complications.

Stephanie Grisham said in a statement: “The first lady looks forward to a full recovery so she can continue her work on behalf of children everywhere.”

Melania Trump Rejects Claims She Violated Immigration Laws

Did Melania Trump Plagiarize Michelle Obama’s 2008 Democratic Convention Speech?

Melania Trump, 48, is expected to spend the rest of the week recovering at the medical center, in Bethesda, Maryland.

President Trump tweeted that he was on his way to visit her: “Heading over to Walter Reed Medical Center to see our great First Lady, Melania. Successful procedure, she is in good spirits. Thank you to all of the well-wishers!”

According to specialists, embolization is most often used to block the blood supply to a tumor, benign or cancerous.

Last week, Melania Trump unveiled a “Be Best” initiative aimed at teaching children the importance of social, emotional and physical health.

The first lady said the campaign aimed to promote healthy living and to combat opioid abuse.

Melania Trump gave her first campaign speech since the Republican Convention.

The aspiring First Lady talked about her appreciation of America, her early days in Slovenia and her husband, Donald Trump.

If Donald Trump wins the presidency, Melania will be the first foreign-born first lady in 187 years.

She spoke in Berwyn, a Philadelphia suburb.

She was introduced by Karen Pence, wife of Donald Trump’s running mate, who said: “She is so strong, she is also very accomplished, working her way up through the fashion industry… her love for America is boundless, just like her husband.”

Wearing a powder-pink blouse and white skirt, Melania Trump glides on stage flashing a V-sign to the strains of Fifth Dimension’s Aquarius.

In her still-sharp Slovenian accent, Donald Trump’s wife started by remarking it’s been more than 500 days since her husband announced his candidacy: “This is not an ordinary campaign. It is a movement. A movement in which people feel included inspired and involved.

“He will make a fantastic president of these United States.” 

Melania Trump remembered her life in Slovenia, saying: “I grew up in a small town in Slovenia near a beautiful river and forest. A small country that back then was under communist rule.

“Of course we always knew about the incredible place called America. America meant if you could dream it, you could become it.”

Melania Trump said about becoming an US citizen: “After a 10-year process which included many visas and a green card, in 2006 I studied for the test and became a US citizen. It is the greatest privilege in the world. I’m an immigrant and let me tell you no one values the freedom and opportunity more than me, both as an independent woman and someone that emigrated to America.”

She has been accused of working as a model in the US illegally in the past, but she has denied this.

Melania talked about how much her husband loves his country: “He loves this country and he knows how to get things done. He certainly knows how to shake things up, doesn’t he? He knows how to make real change.

“Donald knew he could not sit by anymore and watch what is happening in this country.

“What kind of country do we want? Do we want a country that is safe with secure borders? Yes? Do we want a country where everyone gets a fair shot?” 

“Do we want a country that honors our constitution?” she continued.

As a future First Lady, she said: “It will be my honor and privilege to serve this country. I will be an advocate for women and for children.

“I’m a full-time mother to our [10-year-old] son Barron, an incredible boy.”

Melania Trump talked about her experience discussing politics with her young son, and how she wants him to know how lucky he is to be born an American.

“I want my little boy to know that he is blessed to have been born in a country that values individual freedom.”   

“Our culture has gotten too mean and too rough, especially for children and teenagers,” says Melania Trump about childhood bullying and online trolling.

“We have to find a better way to talk to each other to disagree with each other, to respect each other.” 

She said that anti-bullying efforts will be one of her issues if she is to become first lady.

It’s “absolutely unacceptable”, Melania Trump added, when children are mocked, bullied and attacked online anonymously.

To some, Melania Trump’s remarks seemed at odds with her husband’s long history of using Twitter to insult people.

Melania Trump finished her remarks by promising her husband will “make America great again”.

“We must win on November 8th. And we must come together as Americans. We must treat each other with respect and kindness even when we disagree. I will be there to support my husband’s efforts to support all Americans when he is president,” she said.

“Donald Trump will make America fair. He will make America safe. He will make America prosperous. He will make America proud.” 

Melania Trump walked off stage to the sound of Living in America by James Brown.

Donald Trump’s wife, Melania, has insisted that her husband is a “gentleman” and that the women who allege that he assaulted them are lying.

Melania Trump also said that inappropriate remarks her husband made about women that were caught on videotape were unacceptable but did not represent the man she knows.

Donald Trump was guilty of “boy talk” but was “egged on” by TV host Billy Bush, she added.

The 2005 tape prompted dozens of Republicans to drop their support for Donald Trump.

In the video, Donald Trump tells Billy Bush, who was then host of NBC’s Access Hollywood, that he can force himself on women because he is a star.

Several women have since come forward and accused the Republican nominee of assault, which he denies.

“I know he respects women but he is defending himself because they are lies,” Donald Trump said in an interview with CNN.

Melania Trump said: “I believe my husband.

“My husband is kind and he is a gentleman and he would never do that.”

The former model claimed the scandal had been “organized and put together to hurt his candidacy” by Hillary Clinton’s campaign team and the media.

“With the details [the media] have got, did they ever check the backgrounds of these women? They didn’t have any facts,” Melania Trump added.

Speaking for the first since the scandal began Melania Trump defended her husband’s conduct with women, saying he had never behaved inappropriately over the years.

Women commonly approached her husband in front of her to give him their phone numbers and behave inappropriately, she said.

Reflecting on the 2005 Access Hollywood videotape leaked to the media 10 days ago, Melania Trump said: “I said to my husband that, you know, the language was inappropriate. It’s not acceptable.

“And I was surprised, because that is not the man that I know.”

After the taped comments became public, Melania Trump issued a statement saying she found the words he spoke to be offensive but she accepted his apology.

Now Melania Trump believes Billy Bush, who was fired by NBC over the tape, was the main culprit.

Donald Trump, his wife said, “was led on – like, egged on – from the host to say dirty and bad stuff”.

Melania Trump also justified her husband’s tactic of appearing with the women who have accused former President Bill Clinton of assault.

With three weeks to go before Americans cast their vote, polls show Donald Trump with considerable ground to make up on Democratic rival Hillary Clinton in key battleground states.
