Political power couples celebrated their love on social media this Valentine's Day — but not without a few jabs from opposing political parties.
Several political organizations took to X to post Valentine's Day messages trolling their rivals, including a meme from the White House with a message to illegal immigrants.
"Violets are blue, come here illegally, and we'll deport you," the official Trump White House X account posted.

Some X users embraced the deportation meme, while others found it insensitive. The top reply on the White House's post says: "ROSES ARE RED VIOLETS ARE BLUE YOUR ANCESTORS WERE IMMIGRANTS AND SO ARE YOU LET'S EMBRACE OTHERS AND THEIR DREAMS TOO."
Chris LaCivita, a GOP political strategist and a former advisor to President Donald Trump, posted a photo of Trump with a bandage on his ear from the July 2024 assassination attempt captioned, "I'd take a bullet for you."
