Former US President Donald Trump used a Valentine’s Day love letter to his wife Melania to solicit donations in a fundraising email. In a campaign email sent Wednesday morning, Trump offered a ”message” with the subject line “I love you, Melania!” In the letter, he praised his wife for remaining at his side as he faced multiple civil and criminal charges. Notably, the Republican presidential nominee is facing 91 criminal counts in four federal and state indictments. The letter reads, ”Dear Melania, I LOVE YOU! Even after every single INDICTMENT, ARREST, and WITCH HUNT, you never left my side. You’ve always supported me through everything. I wouldn’t be the man I am today without your guidance, kindness, and warmth. You will always mean the world to me, Melania! From your husband with love, Donald J Trump.”
Donald and Melania Trump got engaged in 2004 and married in a lavish wedding at his Mar-a-Lago private club in January 2005
The email also includes three “SEND YOUR LOVE” buttons, which take supporters to a donation page that repeats the Valentine’s Day message and says, “If you love Melania, I humbly request that you leave her some kind words below!” The website proposes a minimum donation of $20.24. Those who believe he is the greatest president of all time can donate $47, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $3,300, or any other amount. Melania Trump has not been seen in public since her mother, Amalija Knavs, died last month. On Saturday night, she and her husband attended a gala at Mar-a-Lago. Donald and Melania Trump got engaged in 2004 and married in a lavish wedding at his Mar-a-Lago private club in January 2005. They welcomed their only child together, Barron, in 2006.
Meanwhile, Trump’s main GOP challenger, Nikki Haley, offered her own Valentine’s Day message to the former president. “Roses are red, violets are blue, I love dictators, and they love me too! Happy Valentine’s Day from Donald Trump to dictators around the world!” Haley’s presidential campaign wrote in an emailed statement, mocking the former president. ”Over the years, Trump has professed his love for the world’s most brutal dictators and praised their strength and leadership skills,” the statement reads.
