Melania Trump shocked the nation when she was rushed to the hospital to undergo an emergency kidney operation. In May 2018, the FLOTUS appeared to be as healthy as ever when she suddenly became absent from her official engagements.
Donald Trump told reporters that his wife underwent a lengthy operation which forced her to not fly internationally for two weeks. However, some critics took the FLOTUS’s condition as an opportunity to make fun of her.
On Twitter, some of them wondered if the kidney operation was really true because they think that the first lady just had a “boob job.”
“Let’s not forget @FLOTUS had something done with her kidneys! The @IvankaTrump boob job thing,” Twitter user @joeiavovella said.
“Her kidney procedure was actually a new boob job… on taxpayer money…” Twitter user @NancyHarper11 said.
“Looking at @FLOTUS porn pictures, compared to what she looks like now, is funny. She’s had so much plastic surgery, implants, and reductions. Remember, her alleged kidney problems were really breast implants. How vain can one person be? Question: Did we pay for the boob job?” Twitter user @thankorgandonor said.
“It was only fake outrage like her kidney procedure. Or was it a boob job? Either way, #FAKE,” Twitter user @GreggFiege said.
“She also likes: getting Botox, getting fillers – in her cheeks, etc., getting threads under the skin to pull back eyes, lip filler, boob job – sorry, kidney job, getting a fake tan,” Twitter user @stararies1 said.
Meanwhile, netizens were convinced that Melania’s kidney procedure was fake because of the lack of updates from the White House. Her communications director, Stephanie Grisham refused to divulge details suggesting that the operation was a private matter.
Shortly after, rumors also swirled that the FLOTUS had died following the operation. And Trump slammed the reporters that didn’t tell the world that they saw the first lady in the White House after her surgery.
“Four reporters spotted Melania in the White House last week walking merrily along to a meeting. They never reported the sighting because it would hurt the sick narrative that she was living in a different part of the world, was really ill, or whatever. Fake News is really bad,” he tweeted.
