Trump says he didn't get Melania a birthday present

President Donald Trump says he was too busy to get first lady Melania Trump a present for her 48th birthday.

When asked what he bought his wife to celebrate her April 26 birthday during a Thursday telephone interview on 'Fox and Friends,' the president answered, "Well I better not get into that because I may get in trouble."

"Maybe I didn’t get her so much. I got her a beautiful card," he continued. "You know I’m very busy to be running out looking for a present."

Trump also added that he got the first lady "some beautiful flowers," and heaped more praise on her for her "fantastic job" planning this week's state dinner to honor France.

The president took to Twitter on Wednesday to sing the first lady's praises, writing, "@FLOTUS did a spectacular job hosting the President of France @EmmanuelMacron and his wife Brigitte. Every detail was done to perfection. The State Dining Room never looked more beautiful, and Washington is abuzz over what an incredible job Melania did."
