Former US President Donald Trump and his wife Melania have been spotted for the first time since the couple left the White House on January 20.

The former President, 74, and First Lady, 50, were pictured posing for selfies with fans on Valentine’s Day in the Mar-a-Lago resort dining room on Sunday.
