President Trump cracked a joke about his wife Melania divorcing him, a comment that apparently came off as “awkward” during an event for Gold Star families,honoring their family members who died in battle.

The news outlet — and social media — noted that President Trump’s joke was “awkward” given the grieving families in attendance.

CNN reported Monday, the president made the retort in response to a reporter asking about the first lady’s almost month-long disappearing act. “Did she leave him?” POTUS reportedly said, while pointing to his wife, who was seated in the front row.

There haven’t been any photos of Melania taken since May 10th, just before the 48-year-old suffered a kidney problem and underwent an embolism procedure.

However on Monday, she shared pictures of herself wearing a black look while seated next to her husband at the event.On Wednesday, Melania confronted the media speculating about her whereabouts tweeting,

“I see the media is working overtime speculating where I am & what I’m doing. Rest assured, I’m here at the @Whitehouse w my family, feeling great, & working hard on behalf of children & the American people!”
