President Trump makes light of rumors around Melania's facelift
Trump addressed rumors of First Lady's hiatus from the limelight at a recent rally in South Carolina for Governor Henry McMaster.

Earlier this month, Trump said on Twitter that Melania was recovering from surgery, and said that the rumors about her being near death, undergoing a facelift or leaving him were all fake.

On the day of her surgery, President Trump tweeted that he was heading over to the Medical Centre to see Melania after the procedure.
'Successful procedure, she is in good spirits. Thank you to all the well wishers,' he said. The surgery followed one month after Melania's 48th birthday.

As reported by People and The Hill, some of the other rumors were that Melania had left the White House and moved to New York or Virginia, due to abuse.
