Melania Trump, 47, wife of Donald Trump, 71, President of the US, posted a heartfelt video on Instagram just over a week after Valentine’s Day.
However, the video was not dedicated to her husband, nor is anything known of whether they spent part of the romantic day together.
Instead, Melania spent the day visiting children in Bethesda, Maryland to make Valentine’s Day – and later posted a video which didn’t feature Donald either.
Melania wore a red coat to visit the Children’s Inn at the National Institute of Health.
In the video, Melania is seen bending down to talk to and hug the children.
The children are busy making Valentine’s cards with glitter – some of which are addressed to “Mrs Trump” – and baking heart shaped cookies.
The First Lady later hands out Valentine’s cards, featuring beautiful calligraphy, to the children.
She captioned the video with a heartfelt message about how "exceptionally strong" she found the children.
“Last week, I had the pleasure of meeting with some exceptionally strong children currently patients at the National Institutes of Health.
“Thank you The Children’s Inn for all that your wonderful staff and facility do to help our children.”
On Valentine’s Day itself, she tweeted that she was “looking forward” to the visit.
Looking forward to a very sweet afternoon visiting @theChildrensInn & celebrating Valentine’s Day with some kids at @NIH! #HappyValentinesDay
Many followers praised Melania for the video, and for her obvious commitment to her First Lady role.
One wrote: “Such a classy elegant and intelligent woman. If only every country had a sensible First Lady like America is so lucky to have.”

So lovely! <3
She shines.
Remember when Michelle posted snapshots from the White House garden without Barack and the press breathlessly gossiped about their marital problems?
Or how the press quizzically observed that they always took separate vacations?
No?
Huh...
She’s an angel. And Trump knows it.
We all get that she did not do the video, right? The white house press office did this. She played the part. So this is just a snark journalist reading into something that the paper knows is untrue.
I remember Chewie was down at da creek out back of da house washing her sweaters and sneakers....*s*
Our Melania is indeed one of a kind. Her deep love for children comes through so powerfully in photos.
The President certainly chose wisely and well and we are grateful to have such a lovely First Lady.
we can assume the snarky author is surrounded daily by those slobbering all over each other’s faces in wanton abandon and has no exposure to or concept of manners which allow for intimacy in private versus what used to be the social norm of no PDA.
So true.
Do you think for one minute that she has to communicate with her husband via Instagram? Instagram is for the public.
She makes a great point — Valentine’s Day is for children, especially ones who may be separated from loved ones in illness and who need love to be shown in overt and sweet ways — such a contrast to the Obama’s slobbering over each other on social media.....
Momma Trump — Ooo-rah!
So true. As if a couple who have been married for a number of years and who are mature and settled need such a silly holiday to show the world what they think of each other. Such nonsense - and the Obamas slobbering over each other makes me think the opposite is the truth.
To The First Lady's List.
She glows.
He is clearly having a good time and has a good grip on her, lest she fall. ;)
Bite me... and Picking a winner, THE DYNAMIC DUAL OF HATE AND CRIMINALITY.
