Melania Really Wants You to Wear a "Cloth Face Covering"

Why, you might ask, does Trump not want to wear a cloth face covering of his own? It’s about the Presidential aesthetic, of course.

“I just don’t want to wear one myself, it’s a recommendation,” [Trump] told reporters last Friday. “Somehow sitting in the Oval Office behind that beautiful Resolute Desk, the great Resolute Desk, I think wearing a face mask as I greet presidents, dictators, kings, queens, I don’t know, I don’t see it for myself.”

Doesn’t she look like a killer nurse? This photo gives me very Kathy Bates-in-Misery energy, only more clinical and with a little bit of fascism sprinkled in. Am I projecting? Should I restart American Horror Story: Asylum? Perhaps.

Also, just speaking as a social media manager, placing a multi-sentence block of white Times New Roman text over a regular photo is really…. basic? Or is it just tacky? Either way, it’s making me start to question whether Melania could have possibly made this graphic herself, instead of delegating the task to her staff. A deep dive into Melania’s Instagram by my college Ashley Reese has already established that the first lady is not the most social media adept (and may only own an iPhone 4), and as I can’t imagine that any person under the age of 35 would make a graphic this ugly and unhelpful (the text is SO tiny), it seems only logical to conclude that our robotic first lady created this image herself.

I, for one, am relieved to know that Melania is spending her time stuck inside wisely.
