Vanessa Trump says she is cancer-free six months after breast cancer diagnosis
Photo: NBC NewsVanessa Trump, 48, the ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., said Friday that she is cancer-free, about six months after being diagnosed with breast cancer in April. She made the announcement in an Instagram video posted by her 19-year-old daughter, Kai Trump, saying her tests came back clear. The clip, released during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, also features Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist, discussing prevention and early detection. Vanessa Trump first disclosed the diagnosis on May 20, saying she was working with her medical team on a treatment plan and had undergone a procedure. In June she said she was recovering from surgery and preparing for the next stage of treatment. She was married to Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children. Newsweek reported that the clip is part of a longer video due Saturday.
Right-leaning Fox News and the Daily Mail lead with Vanessa's announcement and the mother-daughter hug. Fox uses emotional wording such as "heartfelt" and "battle," notes Kai is President Trump's granddaughter, quotes Saphier on social media making breast cancer awareness common, and links a story on how the family rallied. The Daily Mail adds her relationship with golfer Tiger Woods and quotes her May and June statements at length. NBC News, on the left, uses a plainer headline and adds the marriage dates and Saphier's role as the president's third surgeon general nominee, which the right-leaning pieces omit. NBC also notes the May 20 post versus the April diagnosis. Both sides agree on the core facts and quotes; Newsweek largely matches them.
