Vanessa Trump, ex-wife of Donald Trump Jr., says she is cancer-free after April breast cancer diagnosis
Photo: NBC NewsVanessa Trump, 48, the former wife of Donald Trump Jr., announced on Friday that she is cancer-free, about six months after she publicly disclosed a breast cancer diagnosis. In a short video posted on the Instagram account of her 19-year-old daughter, Kai Trump, she said her recent test results came back clear. Kai leaned over to hug her mother as the news was shared. Vanessa Trump said in the video that she was diagnosed in April. She first shared the diagnosis publicly on May 20, saying she was working on a treatment plan with her medical team and had undergone a procedure that week. In June she gave an update on her recovery. She was married to Trump Jr. from 2005 to 2018, and they have five children. Kai wrote that the video was posted during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to promote early detection, education and support. The clip previews a longer YouTube video, due Saturday, in which the two talk with Dr. Nicole Saphier, a radiologist and President Donald Trump's nominee for surgeon general, about prevention and screening.
The right-leaning Daily Wire frames the news as an encouraging end to a battle, using the words "Breast Cancer Battle" in its headline. It quotes Kai on how her mother was diagnosed and overcame the illness, and it quotes Vanessa's May message about staying hopeful and asking for privacy. It describes Saphier as a radiologist and the president's nominee. NBC News, on the left, uses a plainer headline with "six months after diagnosis." It adds that Saphier has been a Fox News medical contributor and is Trump's third surgeon general nominee, and it quotes her saying breast cancer is not one size fits all. Both sides agree on the core facts: the age, the April diagnosis, the May 20 disclosure and the awareness-month purpose. They differ mainly in which quotes and background they feature. BBC News adds Vanessa's relationship with golfer Tiger Woods and the post's more than 20,000 likes.
