Trump pounded on Internet for not wishing Melania a "Happy Mother's Day," going golfing instead



https://www.rawstory.com/2018/05/trump-pounded-internet-not-wishing-melania-happy-mothers-day-twitter-going-golfing-instead/

President Donald Trump used his weekly message to say “Happy Mother’s Day” with a tribute to his own mother, Mary MacLeod, who passed away in 2000.

“So much of what I’ve done and so much of what I’ve become is because of my mother,” President Trump said. “She was just incredible. warm, loving, really smart, could be tough if she had to be, but basically she was a really nice person.”

“I miss her a lot,” he noted.

But one mother President Trump did not mention is his current wife, the First Lady. Many found this to be odd, since Melania Trump is the mother of their child, 12-year old Barron Trump.

And they made clear their disappointment.

to provide luxury, golden, gourmet golf goof-off time for Dirty Donny* again today? They just blew $3 million of our money pampering Dirty Donny yesterday. That's about $6 million of our tax dollars the republicans have just squandered this weekend to pamper the so-called "billionaire."

while you squander $3 million of our hard-earned tax dollars to pamper yourself with luxuries, reeks of degenerate republican family values.

the most hated men in the world. She was a failure on every level. His father was even worse. If only fate could have prevented these two from getting together we would not be in this hellish situation today.

Happy Mother’s Day to every mom out there, especially the remarkable moms in my life, @MichelleObama and my mother-in-law, Marian Robinson.

Remember all the candid photos of the Obamas with their daughters? Have you ever seen IQ45 interacting with his son in an affectionate way? Not that he has time; SHS says he works all the time for the American people. (The WH press lets her get away with this lie. No one ever challenges her with the number of golf games he's played since taking office, nor the cost to the public.)

I would think he should wish Ivana and Marla the same. He had children with them and that made them mothers too.

Probably because it repulses him to think of her as a mother. He has always said he could never be sexually attracted to a woman who has had children.

he can not see them as complete human beings. He has a major madonna/whore complex. And he hates both of them.
