- Donald Trump wished his wife, Melania Trump, a very happy birthday.
- He gave the message to the cameras moments before entering the courtroom for his hush-money trial.
- He did not address why Melania hasn't attended the trial to show support.
It's better than a Hallmark greeting card.
In front of television cameras and a gaggle of journalists, former President Donald Trump wished his wife, Melania Trump, a very happy birthday Friday morning, moments before he entered the courtroom for his criminal hush-money trial.
"I want to start by wishing my wife Melania a very happy birthday," he told reporters in the downtown Manhattan courthouse hallway. "It'd be nice to be with her, but I'm at a courthouse for a rigged trial."
