Trump Defends Wife's Speech, Criticizes Media Coverage

Donald Trump weighed in Wednesday on the flap over wife Melania's speech to the Republican National Convention, praising the impact for generating "more publicity than any in the history of politics."

Good news is Melania's speech got more publicity than any in the history of politics especially if you believe that all press is good press!

But the GOP presidential nominee also chided the media for the grueling attention, saying his wife's address got more "forensic analysis" than Hillary Clinton's emails.

The media is spending more time doing a forensic analysis of Melania's speech than the FBI spent on Hillary's emails.

The Monday night speech generated searches on Google and conversations on Facebook that continued Wednesday, according to USA Today.
