The photo has generated numerous memes and questions from Twitter users about why the White House chose to share a photo in which the first lady looks “sad” on her birthday.

The photo appears to have been taken during the Oval Office meeting between the Trumps, Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš and his wife, Monika Babisova in Washington last month.

Meanwhile, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders shared a smiling photo of the first lady, wishing her a happy birthday and calling her “a great representative for our country.”
