The First Lady, Melania Trump visit Africa and the internet shook…not over what she did but over what she wore, hmph!!!

First lady Melania Trump never wanted to be here. She thought that she was marrying an old man with one foot in the grave and another on a banana peel, who not only keeps eating family-sized buckets of KFC original recipe but seems to be getting stronger.

“I wish people would focus on what I do, not what I wear,” First Lady Melania Trump lamented on the final day of her solo four-country trip to Africa, which took her last week to Ghana, Malawi, Kenya, and Egypt. She was reacting to criticism of the pith helmet she had worn earlier in Kenya.
Melania’s appearance wasn’t just clothing, but costume. And costume always attracts attention, invites interpretation, and sends its own message.
