Republican congressman Matt Gaetz is the internet's latest target after he was spotted seemingly
thirsting over President Donald Trump's youngest daughter.
"Good evening. I'm Tiffany Trump."
The Florida politician retweeted a photo of Tiffany in a red pantsuit with some flirty
emojis, including flames, a red heart, a heart-eyes smiley, and Donald's signature thumbs up.
While Gaetz didn't exactly smooth-talk the Trump heiress, the emojis definitely told
a story — and an eyebrow-raising one at that.
While millennials may be used to this modern love letter, Twitter users found it a little
icky that Gaetz was crushing on Tiffany, who is 11 years younger than him and just graduated
from Georgetown Law School in May 2020. In fact, Gaetz praised the grad after she accepted
her diploma. Retweeting her father's congratulatory remarks to his daughter, Gaetz wrote at the time,
"Tiffany is a beautiful person inside and out! It's so great to see her success.
Big things coming."
Despite Gaetz's seemingly flirtatious remarks to the president's daughter, he previously
revealed he refuses to mix business with pleasure in his book, Firebrand. He wrote,
"In Washington, safe sex means in part: no dating lobbyists, no dating your staff members,
and I should have added no dating reporters, but I didn't at first. It's risky to date
in a town where there's potentially a thin line between love and blackmail, or at least
love and bad PR."
It didn't take long for the Twitterverse to roast Gaetz for shooting his shot with Tiffany.
One user replied to his tweet, saying,
"I just cringed so hard I think I had a small stroke."
Another called attention to their 11-year age difference, writing,
"Dude, please. She's old enough to be your adopted daughter."
While some were fixated on their age gap, others though the tweet was downright inappropriate.
One person tweeted,
"Ewwwww! This is so unprofessional and creepy! Yikes!"
Another asked,
"Did you just call the president's daughter hot on your official account?"
And yet another user added,
"Hitting on the boss' daughter. Yeah, that's not creepy AF."
Several users also noted how the Trump daughter would be a slightly more appropriate match
for Gaetz's son, Nestor Galban. In June 2020, Gaetz revealed via Twitter that he's been
raising the 19-year-old for the past six years, although he didn't father the child himself.
At the time, Gaetz was dating Galban's older sister when their mother passed away from
cancer, according to People magazine. Since then, Galban has been living under Gaetz's
roof, even when his relationship fizzled with the boy's sister. Although Gaetz never formally
adopted Galban, he told the outlet,
"Our relationship as a family is defined by our love for each other, not by any paperwork."
Despite remarks suggesting Tiffany should link up with the politician's son, it seems
like she was appreciative of the emojis from Gaetz. She retweeted his telling emojis and
added a few of her own, including a blushing face, an American flag, and a red heart.
Of course, Gaetz was quick to retweet her response, leaving Twitter users to wonder how long this
game of back and forth will go on for.
While some might imagine the two are smiling at their phone screens, the California native
is actually in a committed relationship. Last we heard, the first daughter was believed
to still be with boyfriend Michael Boulos , according to the New York Post. Although
the couple hasn't posted photos together in weeks, everything between them seemed steady
in November 2020, when Corey Lewandowski tweeted a picture with the pair while aboard Air Force
One on November 2nd. He even tagged Boulos in the photo, seemingly revealing that he
had joined his girlfriend on the campaign trail ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
With an even further deep dive into the couple's social media activity, it appears Boulos may
actually be a fan of Gaetz as well. The first boyfriend has been spotted "liking" several
of the politician's tweets in support of the sitting president. Sounds like we could possibly
have a love triangle on our hands.
