The White House has done it again. It published a curious and controversial greeting on Saturday to celebrate Valentine's Day.
From the U.S. presidency, citizens were invited to declare their love through various cards that, rather than the usual romantic messages, are based on political references such as the capture of Nicolás Maduro or strategic interest in Greenland.
The first image of the carousel set the general tone of the proposal: a “You captured my heart” accompanied by a photograph of Nicolás Maduro with his eyes blindfolded and handcuffed, referencing his arrest on January 3rd.
With a touch of humor, the presidency turned the operation against the Chavista leader into a heartfelt Valentine's Day declaration.
The carousel continued with a second card that read: “My love for you is as strong as Democrats love for illegal aliens”, a phrase directly linked to the immigration debate that divides public opinion in the United States.
Among the congratulations was also an image of President Donald Trump holding a document with the text: “Executive order: 4547 – Ur my Valentine”, a nod to the number of decrees he has signed since arriving at the White House over a year ago.
Another of the messages focused on Greenland.
In it, there was a map of the island in the shape of a heart alongside the text “It’s time to define our friendship” , a direct reference to the interest that Washington has expressed on various occasions regarding that autonomous territory of Denmark.
A controversy that had already erupted in 2025
This is not the first time the White House has resorted to this type of messaging for Valentine's Day.
In 2025, controversy had already arisen due to a similar post.
That year, the Trump administration took the opportunity to reiterate its immigration policy with a card featuring a pink letter along with images of the president and his border chief, known as "the border czar," Thomas Homan.
The text, accompanied by red hearts, adapted a traditional poem:
“The roses are red
The violets are blue
Enter illegally
and we will deport you”
The image served as a clear message for immigrants trying to reach the United States without documents, but also as a response to various world leaders who questioned Trump's immigration policies, including then-Pope Francis.
This year's new campaign follows the same logic: to use a popular holiday to deliver direct political messages, wrapped in humor, but with an unmistakable backdrop aligned with the government's agenda.
