Scandal-plagued former President and 2024 presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump just recently celebrated his 78th birthday.
As with any opportunity for the former guy to sow his self-important oats, those closest to him delivered an abundant wealth of well-wishes and birthday messages both in private and in public posts on social media.
However, people couldn’t ignore the fact that one very important person in Donald’s life was markedly absent among those who posted their obligatory “Happy Birthday, Donnie” messages to their social media accounts — his own wife.
The lack of an acknowledgment on Melania Trump’s part was first reported on by The Daily Beast.
All of Donald’s grown children did their duty and took to their socials to wish their dear old daddy a happy 78th birthday.

His eldest daughter Ivanka shared a photo of herself and her father strolling through the White House with the caption, “I love you today and everyday!”

Hell, even Jr.’s ex-wife Vanessa took the opportunity to earn herself a few brownie points with her old father-in-law and posted a photo collage with the caption, ” Happy Birthday to the best grandpa.”

And it wasn’t just Donald’s kiddos who heaped their praises on him over his birthday weekend. The well-wishes for accomplishing another lap around the son came from tons of notable Republican names, ranging from his ex-attorney Rudy Giuliani to dog-killer Kristi Noem to amateur bikini model Marjorie Taylor Greene, according to The Beast.
But not a peep was heard — at least not in public — from his own wife of nearly 20 years.
In fact, we took a look at Melania’s X account (formerly known as Twitter) and it seems the ex-first lady hasn’t posted a single word to her social media account since Mother’s Day, right around the time she was hawking her tacky Mother’s Day necklace.
I guess you’re just not that important to her, Donnie boy.
