It shows her sitting alone on one end of a three-place sofa with a horde of photographers and reporters behind that sofa.
It shows her sitting alone on one end of a three-place sofa with a horde of photographers and reporters behind that sofa.
This picture seems like it was taken when Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš was visiting. Another picture shows Trump and the PM standing together near one end of the sofa that Melania was on. In the first picture, the photographers and reporters were facing in the direction of Trump and the PM rather than Melania.The photo has spawned numerous memes but also questions from some Twitter users about why the White House chose to share a photo in which the first lady looks "all alone" on her birthday.
"Where are her child and husband?" one tweet said in response to the photo.
"I don’t understand why the White House would post such a sad, lonely photo of Melania for her birthday," another Twitter user said. "Regardless what I think of her and her family, this is just weird."
