First lady Melania Trump made the room laugh during a White House event on Wednesday when she touted her husband's "empathy."

The Trumps were speaking at an event to honor military mothers ahead of Mother's Day this weekend when Melania Trump's comment prompted giggles.

"Most know my husband as the strong commander-in-chief, but his empathy transcends the role and shape of a caring leader, who constantly remembers each and every American soldier is someone's child," she said.

Hey Melania, empathy, did this putz of a traitor husband invite the wives of the police officers wives and children to the white house after his attempt to overthrow a duly elected government in 2020...........nope
Did he invite the wives and children of the soldiers recently killed in his war with Iran.............don't think so, he stood on the tarmac with red hat with the relatives............he couldn't even take his hat off.........empathy, that was thrown out on the tarmac and the Congressional house of the WE the PEOPLE............
