Donald Trump and Melania have been married for more than 20 years. However, when texting his wife, she might have thought he meant it for someone else. Speaking during an event honoring military mothers, Trump spoke about how he mistakenly called his wife by another name as he revealed messages on his phone.
Donald Trump and Melania Trump married on January 22, 2005. The wedding took place at Bethesda-by-the-Sea church in Palm Beach, Florida.
Many celebrities were in attendance, including Elton John and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and even Trump’s then-future presidential rival, Hillary Clinton, and her husband and former president, Bill Clinton.
The wedding was Melania’s first, but Donald Trump’s third. His first marriage to Ivana Trump – who sadly passed away in 2022 – lasted from 1977 to 1992. A year later, he married Marla Maples, but the couple divorced in 1999, a year after Trump met Melania for the first time.
In the last few years, rumors about their marriage breaking up have circulated widely online. As they have very different schedules at the White House, and are sometimes even in different cities, maintaining a daily relationship is not easy.
In January, a source told People Magazine that it has taken a toll on their marriage. However, they reportedly bond over their shared interest in interior design. Meanwhile, previous reports have stated that Donald Trump and Melania try to have dinner together each day.
Donald Trump makes bombshell claim about text to Melania
Donald and Melania don’t often speak publicly about their relationship. However, on Wednesday, during an event honoring military mothers, the U.S. President revealed some personal details about his text messages with Melania.
Trump explained that he would sometimes accidentally send her the wrong name. “I love the name Melody because for a long time, they have spell correct and word correct, and these crazy machines that we use to put out truths… every time I wrote Melania it would correct to Melody,” he said. “So I do things, and I work very fast, very fast.”
Trump continued: “And I talk about it, and I say, Melania is fantastic, and happy Mother’s Day, Melania, our great First Lady, Melania. But it would spell correct and word correct to Melody. And sometimes I wouldn’t proofread it, and I would get just absolutely decimated. These people (the media) would decimate me.”
Trump’s story prompted laughter at the event. He added that people even claimed he “didn’t know the name” of his wife. “‘He keeps calling her’ – and I said, ‘What the hell is wrong with this machine?’ I didn’t know about that little feature, but I got that corrected eventually.”
Social media erupts
“She’s been called Melody a lot,” Trump concluded, adding, “I had to explain it to you this way. I stood up here to explain it to you. I apologize.”
While many found it funny, social media users suggested parts of his explanation didn’t quite add up.
One person wrote, “He does know autocorrect learns from your typing history, right? So…Who tf is Melody???”
Another added, “And so my question is, Who’s Melody?”
Others called the moment “relatable,” while another explained how autocorrect systems work and why mistakes like that can persist. Another person said, “Autocorrect is the worst. 100% does NOT learn from me.”
