Donald Trump continues to bash both the sitting president, Joe Biden, and his Republican presidential opponent, Nikki Haley. However, as much as he tends to be under the limelight, his wife Melania is almost nowhere to be seen.
Her absence could be felt both during the business mogul’s trials and his presidential campaign, which led to speculations regarding their relationship.
Trump, however, assured everyone that he and Melania are doing strong and that her absence has to do with her wish to protect her son from the pressure the public life may put on him.
“They love her, I’ll tell you,” Trump said. “And you know her. She’s a very brilliant person. She speaks many languages, the whole thing.

“Her life revolves around that boy, [he’s] so important to her. At the same time, it also revolves around our country and the success of our country. She’s raised a lot of money for charity.”
He continued, “She’s a private person. It’s funny; she was a very successful model, very, very successful, and yet she was a private person. She’s going to be out a lot, not because she likes doing it, but she likes the result. She wants to see this country really succeed.”
“[The people] love the fact that she’s not out there so much. You know, a lot of first ladies will go out. They want to be everywhere. They get angry at their husband because he’s not introducing them. If I didn’t introduce Melania she’d be very happy about it. She’s just a different kind of a person. And she loves the country.”
Melania surprised everyone and put a stop to the speculations when she showed up at Mar-a Lago as Trump hosted Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban. She made an entrance to the sounds of “Pretty Woman.”
Orban presented Melania with a huge bouquet of flowers which made her jaw-drop.
He latter shared photos and videos of the visit, capturing it “Pure America.”
Orbán and Trump, two long-time allies, discussed “a wide range of issues affecting Hungary and the United States, including the paramount importance of strong and secure borders to protect the sovereignty of each nation,” as per the Trump campaign.
Whether we would be seeing more of Melania as her husband’s campaign proceeds is something we are yet to witness.

The question of what is going on behind closed doors at Windsor is one of the most asked questions during the last couple of months, or better said since Kate Middleton‘s last public appearance.
The Princess of Wales had undergone a “planned” abdominal surgery in mid-January and ever since, her exact health state or whereabouts haven’t been discussed by the Palace except for the statement which came as a for of reassurance that she was “doing well,” and that they won’t be sharing any details except when they feel something truly significant takes place.
The people of Britain, as well as those from around the world who closely follow the situation involving Kate and the rumors surrounding her state, were given a glimpse of hope when the Minister of Defense confirmed that she would be attending the Trooping the Colour dress rehearsal ceremony on June 8, ahead of the main event on June 15.

However, it later turned out that it was a mistake and that Kate’s potential return to royal duty event has been deleted from an Army website. As per GB News, Kensington Palace was “not consulted” regarding the Princess of Wales’ appearance.
“It seems the MoD jumped the gun with this announcement and that Kensington Palace was not consulted…we will have to wait to see if the PoW will be well enough to attend,” Telegraph royal reporter Victoria Ward posted on X.
What’s most, the event’s overview mentioned Kate’s presence multiple times.
“Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales is identical to Trooping the Colour reviewed by His Majesty The King,” “Trooping the Colour reviewed by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales also includes 250 soldiers from the Foot Guards,” and “The soldiers will be inspected by Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales, Colonel Irish Guards.”
The site removed every information related to Kate and the event as well as her photo on the site’s landing page.

Kate hasn’t been seen in public for a long period of time, which is very unusual for a royal of her rank.
The public could last see her on a photo taken by TMZ, which some claimed was staged.
She also posted a photo herself on Mother’s Day on which she could be seen together with her children, but it was later determined the photo had been edited at parts which led to the news agencies to issue “kill notices,” which are advisory notices to remove or not use a specific photo.
“It appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the Associated Press notification read.
They also released a statement, saying, “The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.”

Although the Palace didn’t comment on the edited photo, Kate herself decided to explain why the image had “flaws.”
On her and William’s official X account, she wrote, “Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C.”
Kensington Palace has later confirmed it “would not be reissuing the original unedited photograph of Kate and her children.”

The innocence of little children is unmatched. They always speak their mind without considering the consequences and are the most sincere humans there are.
A young girl turned to her mom one day because she had a story to share.
“Mummy, when you were away at work a strange lady came around”… “Not now,” her mom said, “Wait until Daddy gets home.”
After some time, the girl’s daddy comes home and the mom is eager her daughter shares the story and reveals her husband’s infidelity. “Now dear, what were you saying about Daddy and the strange lady?” the mom asks.
The dad, aware something bad was going to happen tries to stop his daughter from speaking, but the mom insists, and tells him, “You keep quiet – I’ll be talking to my attorney in the morning. Carry on, dear.”
The girl then starts her story.

”Well,” says the little girl, “Daddy told me to stay downstairs while they went upstairs, but I followed them without Daddy seeing me,and I saw them hugging and kissing at the top of the stairs.
Then they went into your bedroom and shut the door, but I went up and looked through the keyhole.”
”Clever girl,” the mom says proudly. “What could you see through the keyhole?”
“I saw them hugging and kissing some more, and then they started to take each other’s clothes off, and they carried on until they had nothing on, and then the lady got on the bed and Daddy got on top of her.”
”Yes?” says mummy. “And then what happened?”
“Then they did what you and Uncle Jack did when Daddy was in Vancouver last year,” the girl said with confidence and a smile on her face, leaving both her parents shocked beyond belief.

Being the president of one of the most powerful nations in the world means being under the spotlight, both during service and long after.
Recently, CNN published an article which revealed the medical record of several former presidents of the United States. These records mostly involve general information such as height, weight, and the overall health state. In the case of former president Obama for example, the record also includes details of his skin tag removal surgery.
Although presidential candidates aren’t required to reveal their health condition with the general public, Jackson did so during a meeting on Tuesday. The following day, he revealed that Donald Trump was in “excellent health.”
From 1974 to 1977: President Gerald Ford

It was in January 1975 that it was revealed by Ford’s doctor that he was “happy to report [Ford] is in excellent health. The results of all medical tests were normal in every way.”
A year later, another physical followed. “He has had no complaints … other than mild discomfort in his knee following periods of prolonged standing. The President has maintained his physical capacity for long working hours. He sleeps very well and continues to follow his diet and weighs between 195 and 198 pounds.”
Ford’s doctor wrote in 1975 that “the completion of the new White House swimming pool will provide him with short intervals for relaxation that can easily be fitted into his busy schedule.
“I would like to take the time to acknowledge those citizens who, by their contributions, make a swimming pool available for the President in the White House,” Dr. William Lukash said at a press meeting in January 1976. “I might add that the President was reluctant to use the pool during the winter months because of his concern about energy conservation, I spoke to him about this and felt it was to his advantage to have the use of this pool because I thought it would be an improvement in his sense of well-being and make him more conducive to his feeling better the next day. … The President swims approximately 24 lengths of the pool, which adds up to about a quarter of a mile, and he does this in about 14 minutes.”
Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1989

Reagan’s physical from 1981, signed by 14 experts who examined him, stated that the president was “in excellent health,” and that he had “fully recovered” from the gunshot wounds he got in March 1981 during an attempt on his life.
It was at one point also revealed that Reagan had a cyst from his finger removed. As per the statement released back in the day, a “sebaceous cyst on the third finger of his left hand was drained. The President is wearing a Band-Aid on the finger, which he can remove within the next few hours. This cyst has been present for many years and does not present a medical problem.”
While President Reagan was getting checked out in March 1985, the White House doctor said, “President Reagan continues to enjoy good health. His overall physical and mental condition is excellent. I am especially impressed with the fact that his blood pressure is lower than a year ago – this is quite remarkable.”
In 1988, while he was still in office, the then-president’s doctor revealed he was in “remarkable physical condition.”
George H. W. Bush: from 1989 to 1993

Following a checkup in 1989, Bush was found to be in “extremely sound physical condition.” The X-rays, EKG, urinalysis, blood test, allergy test, and dermatological check all came back normal. His hips did show signs of “mild degenerative osteoarthritis, which has been present for several years.

A checkup done in 1997 revealed that then-president Clinton had troubles hearing, after which he was given a hearing aid.
His medical record revealed that he had a cyst removed from his chest which was the same as the one removed from his nose the year before.
After a physical exam in 2001, presidential doctor Dr. Connie Mariano said, “a lesion on his back suspicious for skin cancer was excised. The pathology results … confirmed that the lesion was a superficial basal cell skin cancer. Pathologists noted that the margins of the legion appeared ‘clean’ indicating that the lesion had been totally removed.”
In the CNN special “The Last Heart Attack,” Clinton spoke of his quadruple bypass surgery in 2004 and his surgery on her heart in 2010.
“I was lucky I did not die of a heart attack,” he told Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
In 2010, Clinton turned to veganism.

Bush has “a history of activity and sports-related injuries,” the report of his medical examination from 2001 stated.
In 1998 and 1999, benign polyps were removed from his colon, and he had “mild high frequency hearing loss,” but his speech frequency hearing was “excellent.”
“The President is in the top 2% of men his age in cardiovascular fitness. This fitness level would place him in the Excellent category for men 40-44 and Superior range for men 45 and older. He is stratified to a very low coronary risk profile.”
He revealed he had diet soda and coffee occasionally and also had a cigarette from time to time. It was revealed back then that Bush was very active, doing cross-training like swimming, lifting weights, and using the elliptical.

During his presidency, Obama had undergone four medical checkups. All the reports described his vital signs which were all withing a healthy range.
They also included information of the medications he was taking at the time. He was advised to take vitamin D every day, Nexium “as needed for occasional acid reflux symptoms,” nicotine gum (as needed for ongoing attempts to quit smoking), and Malarone “as indicated during global travel to malaria endemic areas.”

As per a medical report signed by Trump’s personal doctor, the former president and business mogul’s general health is “excellent.” Trump shared a report proclaiming his “exceptional” cognitive health on the day of Joe Biden’s 81st birthday.
Regarding the weight Trump lost, the letter by his doctor states it’s a result of “an improved diet and continued daily physical activity.” Further, the doctor claimed Trumps “laboratory analysis” came back more favorable than in prior testing without specific metrics listed.
In 2015, Trump’s doctor said he would be “the healthiest person ever elected to the presidency.” The doctor later admitted that the patient had written the note.
However, as his aspiration to run for president again became a hot topic, a former aide of Trump raised concerns about the business mogul’s health, both his physical and emotional.
This isn’t the first time Trump’s health to be widely spoken about. During his time at the White House, his physical and mental health came under scrutiny and some even saw him unfit as a head of the country. made headlines for days by talking about how well he did on a test of dementia that he said was an intelligence test. He said the questions were about picking out an elephant and saying “Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV” over and over.
When it comes to the current president, Joe Biden, his medical record also shows that he’s in good health but his constant falls and stumbling still make national news.

Months after her planned abdominal surgery, Kate Middleton’s exact condition and her whereabouts remain sort of mystery. Except for the statement that she’s doing well, the Palace refuses to provide any details, which leads to a number of theories and speculations. What added to the rumors is the photo Kate published on Mother’s Day in which she’s seen posing with her three chiclden.
The photo was picked up by the media which later pulled it because it was manipulated.
News agencies, including the Associated Press and Getty, issued a “kill notice,” an advisory notice to remove or not use a specific photo.
“It appears that the source has manipulated the image,” the Associated Press notification read.
AP also released a statement, saying, “The Associated Press initially published the photo, which was issued by Kensington Palace. The AP later retracted the image because at closer inspection, it appears that the source had manipulated the image in a way that did not meet AP’s photo standards. The photo shows an inconsistency in the alignment of Princess Charlotte’s left hand.”

The Princess of Wales posted on X that she edited the photo herself.
“Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing. I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused. I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C,” Kate Middleton wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The Palace issued a statement that they won’t be publishing the original, unedited photo, which contributed to even greater fuss, and now many believe that it’s not Kate that is behind all that mess surrounding her.
Following the picture mishap, which turned into an international story, and the Palace’s failure to release a new photo,led more and more people wonder—and worry—what is going on with Kate.

Speaking to Fox, royal expert Hilary Fordwich said the palace is responsible for what she calls “yet another public relations disaster.”
“The certainty is that a ‘slimmed down monarchy’ means fewer are guiding the royals and those who are aren’t as media savvy as they need to be,” Fordwich said. “In our fast-paced world with tech-savvy media outlets, the palaces need to hire the best and brightest in such fields.
“While this certainly isn’t ‘business as usual’ nor what we would expect from a royal household… it shows great humility to admit one’s mistakes,” Fordwich continued. “Others might have either remained silent or tried to blame another. Kate issued a straight-up, no-nonsense apology. Many could learn a lesson from such.”

Royal expert Rob Jobson, author of Our King: Charles III – The Man and the Monarch Revealed, shares Fordwich’s thoughts.
“We can’t really blame Kate,” he told The Sun.
“Now it hasn’t passed that muster, if you like, and that’s because it was pretty much an amateur job on doing so. So, really, there needed to be some advisers around doing that job, making sure that in this modern world of modern communications that, you cannot tamper with photographs that are being issued as official photographs.
“It damages the integrity of the organization that is issuing a photograph,” Jobson added, saying that Kate had done the palace a “favor” by accepting the responsibility. However, the manipulated picture has “added fuel to the fire.”
Among those who stayed silent regarding Kate’s surgery and recovery is the King himself. Amidst his own battle with cancer, Charles hasn’t spoken of his daughter-in-law’s condition.

He is said to be receiving treatments once a week in London and spends the rest of his time at the royal estate of Sandringham.
Over the years, King Charles has been dragged in a numerous feuds, among which the one between his sons, William and Harry, and now, according to royal expert Daniela Elser, the Prince and Princess of Wales have dragged him in their own issues.
“Here (the Mother’s Day picture) was a jolly god-given opportunity to tamp down the mania that has engulfed social media; here was a chance to prove that the Princess of Wales is alive and well-enough to work her trusty curling tongs,” Elser wrote for News.com.au.
“This should have finally set things to rights, a return to cool-headedness, normalcy, sanity. Oh no. In the place of a nice return to regular viewing, those major news agencies put out that ‘kill notice’ and things went nuclear.”
Elser continued, “For Charles this is something of a Chernobyl-sized mess (instance #868) in that no one seems to have even the remotest clue how to put out this inferno or begin to clean things up. All that William and Kate and their Kensington Palace’s office have managed over the last few weeks is to create this chaotic, shambolic, out-of-control situation which is now being reported on by every major outlet globally.”
Charles will soon celebrate one year anniversary since becoming the head of the monarchy, but Elser comments that he has little time to celebrate considering his battle with cancer and everything happening around him.
According to Elser, it’s not just William and Kate who are giving him headaches but also the fact that his younger son and his wife are somewhat present and could be making scenes.
In years of writing about the royal family, charting their downfalls, their exits, their TV shows, podcasts, books, interviews, interviews again, births, deaths and energetic visits to waste recycling plants, I have never seen anything like the insanity, and the inanity, of the last few weeks,” Daniela Elser added.
“In Harry’s memoir Spare he recounted the father saying in 2021 during a heated scene ‘Please, boys. Don’t make my final years a misery’ – sadly, William and Kate are accidentally doing exactly that this week.”

What’s for dinner? Well, the truth is that nowadays most people eat outside and the fast-food is the first choice when it comes to satisfying our cravings.
Over the years, McDonald’s has established itself as one of the best and most famous chains of fast food restaurants in the entire world, and now, after decades, they announce a change to their popular Big Mac. The rest of what the restaurant offers remains the same, but the change regarding Big Mac is said to have to do with its making and how it cooks the elements within them.
Adjustments include placing onions on top of each patty while they’re grilling away, to add some extra flavor, and altering the sear of the beef patties.
This will apparently result in “the most delicious burgers yet.”
McDonald’s
These changes might be slight, but according to the restaurant they will add to the juiciness and the deliciousness of their best-selling product.
The adjustments come as McDonald’s is nearing its 50th anniversary. So far, the changes have been introduced in the USA and Australia. The improved burgers would start being served in the UK from mid-March, so if you are a McDonald’s lover be sure to check them out among the first ones.
Gareth Pearson, Chief Restaurant Officer, McDonald’s UK&I said: “As we celebrate McDonald’s 50th anniversary in the UK, we are excited to introduce our enhanced classic beef burgers.
“We’re constantly innovating and improving our menu and we found that a collection of complementary small improvements to the iconic burgers make a significant difference to the flavour.”

“Another big part of this transition has been around our restaurant teams and how we can support them in delivering the best possible customer experience.
“Not only have we introduced new kitchen technology, but we’ve also retrained all 177,000 crew members on these new procedures to enable them to serve our best burgers yet.”

For some people, moving from home to home isn’t a big deal, but for those who have spend their lifetime at the same place this change might be one of the hardest they’ve ever experienced.
One 96-year-old woman decided to sell her property which was built some 72 years ago. The place looks like any other house from the outside, but the interior is out of this world. She had picked every single piece by herself and took great care of each piece of furniture over the years.
If you take a look inside, you will feel like you are back to the seventies. Everything is bright, luxurious, and filled with vintage items. On top of that, the place is perfectly clean and shiny, which is a sign that this elderly woman treasured her possessions dearly.
While some believe it’s old-fashioned, others say it rouses some old, country feeling and brings nostalgia.
Take a look at the spacious home below.
This place makes you feel like a royalty.
In the basement, there is an amazing country-style bar and a lounge room, a perfect spot after a long day of work.
It’s safe to say that pink is this lady’s favorite color.
All those pinkish details give us a feeling as though this place is from a fairytale.
What a home!
Would you ever consider living in this house?

We never get tired of good jokes that put a smile on our face and the following one will definitely make your day.
The truth is that there are certain women who marry quite older men for the sake of their inheritance, and the lady from this story is one such woman.
She never missed a week to go and visit her husband’s grave and water the flowers. But whenever she would leave the graveyard, she would walk away with her back turned.
A young gentleman who witnessed this happening each week couldn’t help but approach her and have a little chat with her.
“I see that you have shown exceptional respect to your deceased husband. I noticed that you don’t turn your back when you leave, which is very beautiful!” he said.
The woman, looking straight into his eyes gave a reply that left him completely speechless.
“Well, sir, my husband always used to tell me that I have a behind that could raise the dead from their graves. I don’t want to take any chances!”
Isn’t this hilarious?
