Melania Trump: I wish Donald would stop tweeting

Of all her husband's habits that she wishes he would give up, Melania Trump had a particular one in mind when asked the question Thursday: His prolific tweeting.

"Let's see," she said, seated alongside Trump's adult children on NBC's "Today," pausing for a brief moment. "The tweeting."

Trump cracked a smile and laughed. "That's funny," he mouthed, pointing his finger.

The Republican candidate was largely silent during the on-set segment, in which his children talked glowingly about their father's presidential run and, as his Ivanka put it, his "tremendous empathy."

"Let's end it there," co-host Matt Lauer said after Melania's comment. "That is the quietest Donald Trump has ever been for seven minutes in his life. "

His son Donald Jr. responded, "I can verify that, Matt. I can verify that."
