Typically, Valentine's Day is a day that people dedicate to their other halves.

Of course, the day of love has since been appropriated to fit other people's own personal situation. For example, there's Galentine's Day and Palentine's Day for those of us who find ourselves single on February 14.

Others, however, might well be in a relationship but choose not to - for whatever reason - celebrate Valentine's Day.

And while we have no idea how Donald and Melania Trump chose to spend the day, we do know that Mrs. Trump chose not to give her husband a special social media shout-out on the special day.

Instead, the former first lady took to Twitter to write: "On this Valentine's Day, I think of the brave & inspirational children at The Children's Inn and NIH where I visited the past few years. Sending them love & strength, today & every day."

She concluded the post by wishing everyone a Happy Valentine's Day, notably excluding any mention of the former president.

Melania also didn't mention Trump in her Valentine's Day weekend tweet the day before.

Instead, she shared with her 1.6 million followers: "It was wonderful to meet all of the incredible children from all around the world. Wishing everyone a happy #ValentinesDay weekend!"

Needless to say, the absence of the 74-year-old Republican from Melania's Valentine's Day tweets didn't escape the notice of her many eagle-eyed followers.

One took to Twitter to write: "Melania Trump posts a Valentine’s Day message but makes no mention of her husband. Probably because she despises him as much as you do."

Another remarked: "No Valentine's Day tribute to your darling husband?"

A different person suggested: "You might as well wish Hank Siemers a happy Valentine's Day at this point. no mention of your husband, as usual... but I understand, he can't tweet anything to you.... because he got kicked off twitter for inciting violence [sic]."

And a fourth took to the platform to point out: "No love in that relationship, always been obvious."

First Lady Jill Biden, on the other hand, revealed on her Twitter account that she had picked up some Valentine's Day treats for President Biden:

The White House sparked outrage on social media after sharing a Valentine’s Day message that took aim at illegal immigrants — rather than celebrating love.

The official Instagram and X accounts posted a politically charged poem: "Roses are red, violets are blue, come here illegally and we will deport you."

The message was set against a pink background and featured images of President Donald Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan. But instead of spreading romance, the post ignited backlash.

Social Media Backlash

Many users were quick to condemn the post, calling it inappropriate and offensive.

"Whoever runs this page needs to be fired," one commenter wrote on Instagram, reflecting widespread disapproval across the platforms.

X users also voiced their disapproval, with one person writing: "Immigration is more than a meme. Real people, real lives, real struggles. Maybe it’s time for a more serious and humane discussion…!?

"History—and future generations—will judge societies by how they treat the most vulnerable. Let’s ensure compassion is part of the equation, not just policy."

"I thought this was a parody account at first. Absolutely disgusting," another added, with one X user adding: "This is in very poor taste coming from the White House."

And one social media user wrote: "What a joke, this White House is unserious and embarrassing."

Since returning to office on January 20, President Trump has wasted no time ramping up his immigration policies. His administration has issued over 21 executive actions targeting illegal immigration, including tougher enforcement, expanded ICE powers, and stricter border security measures.

Trump’s Immigration Crackdown

The White House has been vocal about its immigration efforts. In January, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt shared images of deportation flights being conducted using military cargo planes, according to the Daily Mail.

Trump’s executive orders have included:

• Fortifying the U.S.-Mexico border
• Expanding ICE’s authority, including mass raids
• Halting the processing of asylum seekers and migrants

Trump's administration has framed these policies as necessary for national security, but critics argue they are draconian and harmful to vulnerable populations.

While the White House has yet to respond to the backlash over the Valentine’s Day post, the controversy highlights the ongoing political and social divide over immigration in America.

What Did Biden Post?

Former President Joe Biden also took to social media on February 14 to share a Valentine's Day post - and it was one in stark contract to the White House's choice.

Taking to X, Trump's predecessor (and former successor) shared a black and white photo of wife Dr. Jill Biden.

In the photo, she is facing away from the camera and wearing a jacket with the word 'LOVE' emblazoned on the back.

The former 82-year-old POTUS captioned the post: "Happy Valentine's Day, Jilly!"

Michelle Obama has gone viral this week after taking to Instagram to show off her natural curls in a brand-new bare-faced birthday selfie.

After turning 57-years-old on Sunday, January 17, the former First Lady of the United States posted the candid snap of herself on Instagram, sharing an image of her naturally-curly locks and makeup-free complexion with her 44.4 million followers.

She captioned her post:

"Thank you all for the lovely birthday wishes!

"I know this past year has been difficult for us all on so many levels, so I just hope you all are taking care of yourselves and finding joy in the smallest moments. Love you all. [sic]"

Suffice it to say, Michelle's post picked up a lot of attention online, and it currently boasts over 3.4 million reactions and a further 82,000 comments from her fans and followers who either wanted to compliment her for going au naturel or just wish her many happy returns of the day.

For instance, one Instagram user wrote: "We love you First Lady!"

Meanwhile, actress Rita Wilson chimed in: "Happy Birthday!!! Have the best day and year! [sic]"

Another person wrote simply: "Love you Auntie Chelle. [sic]

A fourth commenter wrote: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE BEST FIRST LADY EVER!"

Another person added: "it's all about selfcare [sic] Happy Birthday to our forever 1st Lady!!! [sic]"

Someone else chimed in: "Love this. Thanks for being human [...] happy birthday."

Actor Leslie Jordan rounded off the comments by writing "Happy Birthday, Mrs. Obama. May your cake taste sweeter than ever on your special day."

This picture comes not long after Michelle Obama used her platform to attack incumbent President Donald Trump in a searing post.

In it, the former First Lady opened up about her interactions with her successor, Melania Trump, and accused the POTUS of spreading "racist lies" about her husband and family.

Obama wrote: "This week, I’ve been reflecting a lot on where I was four years ago. Hillary Clinton had just been dealt a tough loss by a far closer margin than the one we’ve seen this year. I was hurt and disappointed - but the votes had been counted and Donald Trump had won.

"We invited the folks from the president-elect’s team into our offices and prepared detailed memos for them, offering what we’d learned over the past eight years."

She continued: "I have to be honest and say that none of this was easy for me. Donald Trump had spread racist lies about my husband that had put my family in danger. That wasn’t something I was ready to forgive.

"But I knew that, for the sake of our country, I had to find the strength and maturity to put my anger aside. So I welcomed Melania Trump into the White House and talked with her about my experience, answering every question she had."

Obama also blamed Trump for the recent riots at the Capitol Building on January 6, accusing the Republican leader of knowingly inciting violence.
