Getty Images Donald Trump provided an explanation for any messages he posted on social media where his wife's name was misspelled. The 79-year-old president married first lady Melania Trump in 2005, and they share their son, Barron Trump. However, while speaking at a White House event honoring military moms on Wednesday (May 6), he acknowledged that there have been times when he's gotten Melania's name wrong in various messages shared across his social media platform, Truth Social, and other websites. There's a reason that Trump has sometimes misspelled his own wife's name.
