Given Donald Trump’s reported view on the transactional nature of human relationships, his Valentine’s Day message to his wife Melania Trump is probably as romantic as it gets.
In an email blast sent out to his 2024 supporters, Trump shares a “Dear Melania” letter that he supposedly wrote to his wife of 19 years, in which he declares his ever-lasting love, the Daily Beast reported. The former president, who is running to return the White House, writes. “I LOVE YOU! Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side.”
“You’ve always supported me through everything,” the love letter continues to the former first lady, according to the Daily Beast. “I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth. You will always mean the world to me, Melania!”
Oddly, Trump signed the love letter with his full name, instead of just Donald. “From your husband with love, Donald J Trump,” the letter ends.
Readers are then presented with three “big red invitations” to send their “love” to Melania Trump, as well as to donate to Trump’s presidential campaign, the Daily Beast said. The fundraiser email was sent by Trump’s Save America PAC Joint Fundraising Committee.
Trump met Melania Trump, a Slovenian-born former model, at a party in September 1998. At the time, he was in the process of divorcing his second wife, Marla Maples, the mother of his daughter, Tiffany.
Six years earlier, he finalized his divorce from his first wife, Ivana Trump, after she learned about his affair with Maples. Donald and Ivana Trump’s marriage, which produced Don Jr., Ivanka and Eric Trump, was the subject of 1980s tabloid fascination because of their opulent life-style, stormy arguments and reports of Trump’s infidelity.
Donald and Melania Trump became engaged in 2004, and married in an extravagant ceremony at his Mar-a-Lago private club in January 2005. Their son, Barron, was born in 2006.
