Melania Reportedly Leaves Trump Hanging On His 80th Birthday Despite Showing Up To UFC Celebration

President Donald Trump celebrated his 80th birthday on Sunday, and while First Lady Melania Trump was beside him for the MMA fight outside the White House Sunday night, she did not wish him a happy birthday online.

Per the Daily Beast, “First lady Melania Trump, 56, did not publicly wish her husband, Donald Trump, a happy birthday as he entered his ninth decade on Sunday. In fact, she remained wholly silent on social media throughout the day, with a photo of her shaking hands with U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent posted three days earlier marking her most recent Instagram update.”

Every other member of Trump’s immediate family made a public birthday wish, except for his son Barron, who does not have public social media accounts.

The Beast noted that Trump also did not acknowledge his wife’s most recent birthday on social media, nor did he the year before, when he was on trial in New York.

As Trump loyalists rushed to pay tribute to the president on his 80th birthday, one person was notably absent from the fold: his own wife.

Per USA Today, the Trump children and even children-in-law made their own posts. Even Bettina Trump, the new wife of Donald Trump, Jr., wished her presidential father-in-law a happy birthday on her Instagram story.

“Tiffany Trump posted pictures from her wedding,” USA Today said. “Eric Trump said he was proud of his father in a multi-picture post. Barron Trump, the president’s youngest kid, is not active on social media. Kai Trump, the president’s eldest granddaughter, posted, saying she was excited to celebrate with her grandfather.”
