Despite her efforts to help Americans who are dealing with the spread of the novel coronavirus, Melania Trump faced some serious backlash for her coronavirus response (or lack thereof). On March 11, 2020, Melania took to Twitter to respond to the virus, suggesting Americans “follow CDC guidelines.” The first lady also promoted “social distancing.” While the advice was certainly helpful, Twitter pointed out that she was slow in responding to the pandemic. One user wrote, “Oh brother. You are three weeks late to the ball madam.”
While some bashed the first lady for her delayed response, there were many comments that were completely unrelated to the virus. Some wrote things like, “Go away,” while others remarked, “Melania, do what you do best, nothing.” Seeing as how she was only trying to provide advice that she felt was helpful, the hateful, irrelevant comments directed toward the first lady seem cruel and completely unnecessary.
Considering the fact that the members of the first family live under a microscope (with their every move being picked apart on social media), the prospect of Barron Trump ever having a “normal” life seems nearly impossible at this point. That being said, if leaving him alone at a sports game lets him feel like a normal kid for a few hours, so be it.
