KEY POINTS

  • Melania Trump finally posted about the coronavirus pandemic this week
  • Her critics have been waiting for a statement from the FLOTUS about the virus
  • Melania Trump was accused of not caring about the coronavirus pandemic 

Melania Trump was savaged on Twitter shortly after she addressed the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Her critics noticed that the FLOTUS stayed mum on the issue while the rest of the world was panicking.

“Our great country is fighting hard against the #Coronavirus. This nation is strong and steady and we will overcome. Please take action to prevent further spread,” Donald Trump’s wife tweeted alongside photos and a link to the official website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Shortly after, netizens questioned the FLOTUS’s sincerity by accusing her and the POTUS of not really caring about the well-being of Americans.

“If you care at all about the well-being of the people your husband serves. Then tell him we need more testing for the virus. Eight tests conducted by CDC in one day is not enough. We need accurate testing. Be your best and do what is right. Demand COVID-19 test is made available now,” Twitter user @Kdg20223745 said.

Another Twitter user reminded the FLOTUS of the time when her husband called coronavirus a hoax. Shortly after, a number of people were infected with the disease and some of them passed away.

“Where was this weeks ago? All I heard was blaming Democrats. Testing is needed and we are behind the eight balls. The blame rests squarely on Trumps,” Twitter user @Awakeat1111 said.

Last week, the first lady was also lambasted after she posted an update regarding the tennis pavilion that is being built at the White House while the entire world was already dealing with the deadly pandemic.

After receiving thousands of negative comments, Melania posted another tweet where she encouraged everyone to do something good and productive for their respective communities instead of promoting more hate. However, even this statement drew criticisms.

“Most would agree that Melania Trump will go down as the most useless @FLOTUS in history. An unqualified grifter who stood up for no one. #BeBest,” Twitter user @AngelaBelcamino said.
