President Donald Trump has welcomed his wife home from the hospital in a tweet that misspells her first name.
"Great to have our incredible First Lady back home in the White House. Melanie is feeling and doing really well. Thank you for all of your prayers and best wishes!" A few minutes later, Trump posted a tweet that changed "Melanie" to "Melania."
The White House says Melania (meh-LAH'-nee-ah) Trump came back to the White House on Saturday after five days in the hospital, where she had a kidney procedure.
She had been at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center near Washington since having the procedure on Monday. It was for an unspecific kidney condition that the White House described as benign.
I'll probably get ratioed for saying this but a lot of phone spell checkers there days are overaggressive and are going to autocorrect a less common name (e.g. Melania) to a more common one (e.g. Melanie) unless you're pretty careful about it. It's an understabable kind of typo.

They deleted it (although it took almost 5 minutes), but come on, fam. We already know there are no editors on staff, but Melanie?! pic.twitter.com/g5Ot1nF0LW

Melanie has already contacted Michael Avenatti.

Please stop with "Melanie." It was autocorrect. Happens to everybody. More important things to talk about.
