Melania Trump: White House Wishes First Lady Happy Birthday In The Weirdest Way

"What a lovely image of Melania with her faithful companion, an empty couch cushion."

The White House has celebrated Melania Trump’s birthday by sharing a photo of her sitting on a couch by herself for some reason.

In the photo, which was shared on social media, the first lady is sitting on a sofa while the world’s press surround her.

Trump turns 49 on Friday and is said to be celebrating with a private dinner at the White House during the evening.

It’s a particularly odd choice given she is sitting alone and has a frosty expression on her face.

The focus of the journalists present also don’t seem to be on her, as most are looking off screen.

Awkwardly, the message merely says “Happy Birthday, @FLOTUS.”

As to be expected, Twitter reacted with a mixture of jokes, memes and even concern about Trump’s wellbeing.

Of all the photos of Melania you could've chosen, it's the one where a gang of press is focusing on someone else while she depressingly looks at them pissed off.

Donald Trump is yet to wish his wife happy birthday publicly, despite managing to find time to tweet some praise about how he is apparently the greatest hostage negotiator in history.

“President Donald J. Trump is the greatest hostage negotiator that I know of in the history of the United States. 20 hostages, many in impossible circumstances, have been released in last two years. No money was paid.” Cheif Hostage Negotiator, USA!

We’ll update this post as and when he does.
