The White House marked Valentine’s Day with a series of tongue-in-cheek social media cards featuring some of the most viral moments from President Donald Trump’s second term.
One card shows a now-famous image of Nicolas Maduro being escorted in restraints after Operation Absolute Resolve, paired with the message: “You captured my heart.”
Another card features Chris Van Hollen alongside alleged MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia, framed inside a heart.
“My love for you is as strong as Democrats love for illegal aliens,” the card reads. It continues: “I’d fly 1,537 miles to have a drink with you!”
The White House also highlighted Trump holding up a freshly signed executive order with the caption: “Executive Order 4547 … UR My Valentine.”
Another card referenced the president’s past comments about acquiring Greenland. “It’s time we define our situationship,” reads the note placed over an image of the Arctic island.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio was also featured in one card poking fun at the multiple roles he has played in the administration.
“Don’t make me work for your love,” the card reads, a nod to online jokes about Rubio juggling various responsibilities.
The White House revived another meme from the 43-day government shutdown last fall, featuring the now-infamous sombrero used to troll Democratic leaders Chuck Schumer and Hakeem Jeffries.
On the Valentine’s card, the sombrero is labeled “My Ex.”
Trump’s familiar Truth Social sign-off, “Thank you for your attention to this matter,” also appeared on a card with an arrow pointing toward the phrase “my heart.”
The playful posts quickly spread across social media, generating both praise from supporters and criticism from opponents.
The administration has increasingly leaned into meme culture during Trump’s second term, often using humor to amplify political messaging.
The Post previously reported that many of the White House’s online jokes are crafted by Trump himself, deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino, and deputy communications director Kaelan Dorr.
The Valentine’s Day rollout reflects the administration’s broader strategy of blending pop culture and politics.
By repackaging controversial or viral moments into themed holiday content, the White House continues to engage its base through humor and digital spectacle.
While critics argue the posts trivialize serious issues, supporters see them as evidence of a media-savvy operation unafraid to mock opponents.
Either way, the cheeky Valentine’s cards ensured that even a lighthearted holiday carried a distinctly political tone from 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.
