Politicians trade roses and thorns this Valentine’s Day
Political power couples took to social media this Valentine’s Day to celebrate their love, but not without some political jabs from opposing parties. Several political organizations used the occasion to post messages trolling their rivals, with the White House even sharing a meme aimed at illegal immigrants.
The official Trump White House account posted a meme that said, “Violets are blue, come here illegally, and we’ll deport you.” While some users embraced the deportation meme, others found it insensitive. One user replied with a message highlighting the immigrant roots of many Americans and advocating for embracing others and their dreams.
GOP political strategist Chris LaCivita shared a photo of President Trump with a bandage on his ear from an assassination attempt in July 2024, captioned, “I’d take a bullet for you.” The Republican National Committee also took a swipe at the Democratic National Committee, boasting about winning seven swing states.
On the Democratic side, there were playful jabs at the power dynamics between Elon Musk and Trump. Former President Barack Obama and Michelle Obama celebrated their 32nd wedding anniversary with matching selfies, dispelling divorce rumors. Michelle expressed her unwavering support for Barack, calling him her rock.
Former President Joe Biden shared a photo of his wife Jill wearing a “LOVE” jacket, wishing her a happy Valentine’s Day. Other political figures, such as former second gentleman Doug Emhoff and newly sworn-in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., also shared heartfelt messages with their partners.
Senators like Chuck Grassley, Tim Scott, and Dave McCormick expressed their love and gratitude to their spouses on social media. California Governor Gavin Newsom thanked his wife for championing the rights of Californians, while New York City Mayor Eric Adams focused on his love for making the city more affordable and accessible.
Overall, Valentine’s Day brought out both the romantic and political sides of these power couples, showcasing their love and dedication amidst the political landscape. From playful jabs to heartfelt messages, these couples used social media to share their love with the world.
