With eight simple words Thursday, first lady Melania Trump defused a whole news cycle’s worth of stories claiming she has vanished from her husband’s administration. “I heard you missed me,” she said alongside President Trump at a Rose Garden event for her “Fostering the Future” initiative. “Here I am,” she added to laughter and applause from the audience. Thursday marked the first public event in a month for Melania, who has spent most of the summer at the president’s golf club in Bedminster, NJ, in order to spend more time with her son, Barron, who is on summer break from New York University — and get away from the construction noise that can be heard daily around the White House complex as crews race to finish a new helipad and the controversial ballroom. nypost.com
