Donald Trump is famous for many things, but showing love and affection to his wife, Melania Trump, in a public setting is not one of them.
During Trump’s four years in the White House, he marked many wedding anniversaries and birthdays but failed to acknowledge his wife on these special occasions.
It has surfaced that the former president is never in a rush to buy his spouse flowers or even a box of chocolate to celebrate these milestones.
This year, however, the billionaire reality TV star turned politician took it a step further; many seem to agree that it was a step in the right direction — for Melania Trump, that is.
On February 14, which is Valentine’s Day, Trump decided to publish what looked like a love letter. However, a good look at the message revealed that it was yet another strategy to cash in.
The letter started as a beautiful thank-you message for former lady Melania Trump, where he praised her for her unwavering support during his many and endless court cases.
It has indeed been a complicated month for Donald Trump, who was slapped by a New York jury and judge. E. Jean Carroll won her civil defamation trial against Donald Trump last week, and she was awarded $83.3 million by a Manhattan jury.
This week, New York Judge Arthur Engoron delivered a smackdown of the businessman and his adult children. The judge ordered Donald Trump to pay $355 million in penalties for lying about his net worth and his efforts to secure loans for the Trump Organization.
So it seemed that for a brief moment, Trump’s consciousness realized how important Melania Trump is to him during these tough financial times and wanted to make a grand gesture towards her.
Donald Trump wrote: “Dear Melania, I LOVE YOU. Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side. You’ve always supported me through everything. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth.”
He concluded by: “You will always mean the world to me, Melania! From your husband with love, Donald J. Trump,”
However, the letter was just another brilliant scheme from the former president to obtain donations to pay his army of lawyers for his other ongoing court cases.
The message was directed to a website, where supporters were asked to leave their own Valentine’s Day message or donate to his reelection campaign.
Trump’s only GOP opponent, Nikki Haley, was quick to seize on the embarrassing letter and offer her own Valentine’s Day message that read: “Roses are red, violets are blue; I love dictators, and they love me too! Happy Valentine’s Day from Donald Trump to dictators around the world!”
The statement went on to say: “Over the years, Trump has professed his love for the world’s most brutal dictators and praised their strength and leadership skills.”
The statement is accurate; Trump has confessed to writing and receiving dozens of love letters to dictators, including to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.
Trump said in a past campaign event in West Virginia: “He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”
The politician has money and power on his mind at all times.
