Melania Trump Mocked For Wishing To Spend Christmas On Deserted Island

First lady Melania Trump revealed Thursday that her ideal place to spend Christmas would be on a deserted island with her family, prompting many on social media to come up with hilarious suggestions on what islands she could choose.

Trump visited the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, D.C., today to meet with patients, families and staff members honoring a tradition dating back almost 60 years.

According to a press release by the White House, Trump read “one of her favorite holiday books”, “The Polar Express” and answered questions from children on what the holidays meant to her.

During the session, a 10-year-old named Andy who was a patient at the hospital asked Trump: “If you could spend the holidays anywhere in the world, where would you go?” The first lady who was flanked by a man dressed as Santa Claus answered: “I would spend my holidays on a deserted island, a tropical island. With my family.”

Her answer had people on Twitter coming up with hilarious reactions ranging from sarcastically advising her on which remote island she should go to and telling her that she should never return.

One user, for example, said she could go with her family to Alcatraz Island in California which is best known for its former military and federal prisons. The user also posted a GIF of the prison island to go with their suggestion.

Along the same lines, users suggested Guantanamo Bay and even Antarctica.

Some mockingly said they were very happy with the FLOTUS’ decision and told her to never come back.

Others suggested building a wall around whatever island she would go to.

According to a report last month by Vanity Fair, Trump never wanted to be the first lady and only urged her husband Donald Trump to run for president out of exasperation due to his constant trifle with the idea. Some thought the same when they read her response on Thursday and said it was a call for help.

Meanwhile, Trump spent the visit to the hospital touring the neuroscience center and was accompanied by 25-year-old Alena Sydnor and 7-year-old Damian Contreras, both patients, to the main atrium where she sat for her reading session.

The release by the White House quoted Trump as saying after the visit: “I was so grateful at the opportunity to spend time with the children and their families today, and want to thank the medical staff at Children's National for their lifesaving work. The holidays are a time for hope, love, traditions, and family, and it is my wish for everyone to be able to celebrate them in good health with their loved ones. Many of the patients and families I visited with today cannot spend the holidays at home this year, so I ask everyone to keep them in their thoughts and prayers as we hope for a speedy recovery and joyous New Year.”
