Donald Trump’s Valentine’s Day gesture for his wife, Melania Trump, fell flat. According to The Guardian, the former president sent an email to his subscribers with the headline, “This is a Valentine’s Day letter from Donald J Trump.” The contents of the letter included a dedication to his wife, but it was anything but romantic. It started strong with him saying, “Dear Melania: I love you,” but it quickly turned south as he continued to say, “Even after every single indictment, arrest and witch hunt, you never left my side. You’ve always supported me through everything.” (Being reminded of the legal issues your husband is facing won’t exactly warm your heart.)
However, Donald ended the message on a higher note, saying, “I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness and warmth. You will always mean the world to me, Melania!” Of course, this wasn’t just a letter for Melania — Donald asked subscribers for donations and those who donated could potentially get a “personalized message” from the former first lady. To many, it was more of a cash grab than a love letter to Melania, but to be fair, they’ve never really been the couple to publicize their romance. In 2021, Melania posted a Valentine’s Day message but seemingly forgot to mention her hubby, per the Daily Mail. Still, as the Donald and Melania divorce rumors abound, this Valentine’s Day message from the president didn’t help diffuse the speculation.
