First Lady Melania Trump denounced the media for speculating on her activities and physical well-being since returning to the White House after a kidney surgery.

On May 14, Mrs. Trump underwent an embolization procedure for a benign kidney condition at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. She left the hospital after five days. The White House issued a statement indicating that the First Lady was “resting comfortably and remains in high spirits.”

Since then, the First Lady limited her public appearances, which prompted the media speculations about her health and location.

In a tweet on Wednesday, the First Lady said the media is “working overtime speculating” on her whereabouts. In addition, Mrs. Trump said she is at the White House, feeling great, and working hard fo the American people.

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!

Before the surgery, Mrs. Trump launched the “Be Best” initiative to promote children’s emotional, social and physical well-being.

On Tuesday, the First Lady’s spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham told Politico that Mrs. Trump “had several meetings internally with staff and will continue to do so this week.”

In addition, Grisham said they are focusing on Mrs. Trump’s initiatives and some longer-term planning for events such as the congressional picnic and Fourth of July.

Furthermore, she said, “Sadly, we deal with conspiracy theories all the time, so this is nothing new, just more silly nonsense. She is doing great. I wouldn’t characterize it as a long absence. She was hospitalized for almost a week and is now home and recovering.”
