US President Donald Trump marked Valentine's Day on Saturday by sharing a series of humorous social media cards via the White House accounts, blending boasts about his accomplishments with jabs at Democrats and even his own Secretary of State Marco Rubio.
The cards, designed in classic Valentine's Day style, began with a striking image of Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, depicted handcuffed and blindfolded following his capture from his country in January. The accompanying phrase read, “You captured my heart,” playfully tying the dramatic arrest to romantic sentiment.
Another card featured a photo of Senator Chris Van Hollen meeting former ICE detainee Kilmar Abrego Garcia in El Salvador. Its caption mocked Democratic priorities, stating: “My love for you is as strong as Democrats’ love for illegal aliens. I’d fly 1,537 miles to have a drink with you!” The specific mileage underscored the distance Van Hollen traveled for the encounter.
Trump also included a shout-out to Greenland in one of the Valentine's Day cards, continuing his interest in the territory amid ongoing political discourse. The collection overall praised the president’s achievements while predictably deriding Democrats.
Notably, the messages extended to light-hearted ribbing of Secretary of State Marco Rubio, adding a layer of intra-administration humor to the festive posts. Shared across White House social media platforms, the cards quickly drew attention for their bold and unfiltered tone.
The Valentine's Day gesture reflects Trump's signature style of blending policy triumphs, such as Maduro's capture, with pointed political commentary, engaging followers on a holiday typically reserved for personal affections.
