A spokesperson for Melania Trump has confirmed that the First Lady was unaware that her Twitter account had liked a tweet that criticised her marriage to Donald Trump. The original tweet read: "Seems the only #Wall @realDonaldTrump's built is the one between him and @FLOTUS," along with a gif that showed Melania's smile dropping as the President looked away from her.

Spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told the New York Post: "The First Lady wasn't aware of this until I brought it to her attention." When asked if the account had been hacked, or if someone else may have liked the tweet, she added: "Who knows… It isn't her primary account these days." The mum-of-one recently celebrated her birthday, and the President sent her a message which read: "HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our @FLOTUS, Melania," accompanied by a snap of the pair at his inauguration. Ivanka Trump also wished her stepmum many happy returns, writing: "Happy Birthday to our First Lady (and my incredible step-mom!) Melania Trump. A wonderful example of kindness and grace for us all! Wishing you an amazing year to come!"

Melania celebrated the day by attending a lunch for Senate spouses at the Nation Gallery of Art. She shared a photo of herself speaking at the event, writing: "I was delighted to be the guest of honor @ Senate spouses luncheon. Thank you everyone for their kind words & support."
