Melania Trump, 48, and her President husband Donald Trump, 72, reached 14 years of marriage on Monday after tying the knot in 2005. The couple rarely discuss their relationship in public, but that hasn’t stopped the couple from tweeting about one another in the past. But on their anniversary on January 22nd neither Melania nor Donald publicly acknowledged the big day. For someone as heavily involved in social media as Donald Trump is, it might come as a surprise to some that the President didn’t even mention the special occasion in his tweets.

But on January 22nd, Melania’s Twitter and Instagram feeds stayed silent, while her husband posted about political matters and congratulated baseball player Mariano Rivera on being elected to the National Baseball Hall of Fame.
Why didn’t Melania and Donald publicly acknowledge their wedding anniversary?
The couple’s special day fell on the 30th day of the US government shutdown, so they may have chosen to stay silent on social media so as not to face backlash over any celebrations.
