US President Donald Trump attended to a number of issues on Mother’s Day on Twitter, ranging from his regular anti-Democrat rants and lambasting the so-called “Russian Hoax” to China tariffs, but found time to celebrate mothers, too. However, he opted for a general message rather than expressing a special tribute to his wife and the mother of his son Baron, Melania.

This was immediately brought into the spotlight by some media outlets and netizens, who meticulously look for the slightest hint of a rift between POTUS and FLOTUS amid the long-standing speculations about Trump having had an affair with porn star Stormy Daniels.

You’d think Trump would tweet out a lovely picture of Melania & Barron on this Mother’s Day thanking her for being the greatest wife and mother of all time in all the universe.
