President Donald Trump shared a Valentine’s Day card to a group of people in America he feels the opposite of love towards.
The pink-and-white digital love day card was posted on The White House’s official X (formerly Twitter) account on Friday morning with the caption, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ and a red heart emoji.
It read: ‘Roses are red, Violets are blue, Come here illegally, And we’ll deport you.’
The stern faces of Trump and his border czar, Tom Homan, were surrounded by small pink hearts.
It had garnered more than 180,000 likes and 12million views by the evening.
Trump started his second term a few weeks ago by immediately ordering deportations and arrests of migrants who entered the US illegally. Federal agencies have conducted raids nationwide targeting ‘the worst of the worst’.
As of February 3, agents had arrested 8,768 undocumented immigrants, according to the Department of Homeland Security.
And the New York Post reported that US Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents arrested 11,000 illegal migrants in the first 18 days.
Trump in late January announced his plan to send 30,000 of ‘the worst criminal illegal aliens’ to the US’s Guantanamo Bay detention center in Cuba.
He sent a starkly different message through the Valentine’s Day card than what his wife and First Lady Melania Trump shared on the day for celebrating romantic love, friendship and admiration.
The first lady reposted a meme from the Melania Meme X account with an animation of her in her Inauguration Day outfit and hat and with red hearts coming from her right eye.

‘LOVE, LOVE, LOVE,’ the post was captioned, along with three red heart emojis.
It is not the first Valentine’s Day that the White House has sent out a political message around immigration.
Last February 14, the Biden White House shared a digital card with red hearts addressed to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson, who opposed a bipartisan Senate deal that grouped border enforcement measures with aid to Ukraine.
‘Roses are red, Violets are blue, The border deal was crushed, Because of you,’ read the card.
