Melania Trump is celebrating her 48th birthday — and boy, did Donald Trump have a Hallmark moment planned.

The president appeared on Fox & Friends Thursday morning, saying that the interview was in honor of his wife’s April 26 birthday.

POTUS added that he gave his wife “a beautiful card … and some beautiful flowers.”

“You know, I’m very busy to be running out looking for presents,” he joked.

If Trump’s claim that he chose to do his Fox & Friends interview on the first lady’s birthday as a nod to her is true, it may not have been the best moment for him to admit for the first time that attorney Michael Cohen “represented” him in the Stormy Daniels matter. Trump and Cohen have been accused of paying the adult film star $130,000 to stay silent about her alleged affair with the then-Apprentice host. According to Daniels, Melania had just given birth to son Barron at the time of the relationship.

“Like with this crazy Stormy Daniels deal, he represented me and you know, from what I see, he did absolutely nothing wrong,” Trump said during the broadcast.
