Melania Trump turned 53 on Wednesday. Donald Trump didn’t wish her a happy birthday online, and people noticed.
Melania celebrated with a small gathering of friends at Mar-a-Lago.
On April 26, Melania’s birthday, Trump was busy making 15 eye-catching posts on Truth Social, his social media platform. The posts included attacks on Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and comments about the ongoing civil rape trial in New York involving writer E. Jean Carroll’s claim that Trump raped her in the 1990s. Trump dismissed the case as a “made-up SCAM” and criticized Carroll’s lawyer as a political operative. His posts drew criticism from Judge Lewis Kaplan, who urged Trump’s legal team to advise him against discussing the case on social media.
On Melania’s birthday in 2020, when the couple was living in the White House, Trump acknowledged his wife’s birthday on Twitter and praised her as a “great First Lady.”
According to People.com, Melania prefers low-key celebrations with family, which was her plan for this year’s birthday.
One source indicates that if Trump is at Mar-a-Lago, he usually participates in his wife’s birthday celebrations.
According to a source close to the family, “He wants to make Melania happy. They have a more than suitable partners arrangement.”
Trump is busy with his ongoing 2024 campaign and legal challenges. He faces several legal issues, including 34 business fraud charges related to hush payments made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels before the 2016 election.
Trump is also under investigation for his involvement in the January 6 insurrection and his handling of classified information after leaving office. A Georgia prosecutor is investigating Trump’s attempts to overturn the last presidential election in the state.
