Neither framing acknowledged the reported details that Trump was joking about not telling his wife or that he was simply providing Republican Florida lawmaker Anna Paulina Luna.
“If you need a bed to sleep, there’s one here on the plane. If you’re feeling unwell and need to lie there, you can lie on it,” according to the outlet, cited Trump, whom Trump told Luna.

The Daily Beast admitted that Trump was probably joking in this article.
“Don’t tell Melania, she doesn’t like the other women in my bed,” he joked.
Several studies have shown that the majority of social media users are not read beyond the headlines. Pennsylvania Researchers discovered 75% of articles shared on Facebook were not read by those who shared them.
Luna responded to the framing, noting that Trump’s offer he made in front of her husband was nothing but respect and on committee.
“This was the most compassionate thing at the time. I don’t think it would be nice if the author didn’t recognize it,” Luna wrote.
I rarely respond to nasty headlines because I don’t like to give trash credibility, but I’m sure the name and attack books come up. @potus suggesting something offensive about his marriage, our first lady, and frankly me, I answer. https://t.co/d1qyg0eyde
