A photo of Melania Trump tending to the White House Kitchen Garden has been making the rounds on social media all week.
The photo shows FLOTUS in a $1,380 Balmain flannel shirt with matching red gloves and designer sunglasses awkwardly crouched beside an artichoke plant.

It was actually taken about a year ago, in September 2017, when Melania hosted local schoolchildren for an afternoon of pretend gardening. But for whatever reason, it began recirculating on the world wide web this week, much to our delight.
How about we take this to the next level?

Damn. @FLOTUS even found a way to plagiarize @MichelleObama’s garden. ? pic.twitter.com/qsDLhRT4Cf

Hey @FLOTUS this is how you garden, you dumb ass. pic.twitter.com/gOLLksEYw4

1) poor choice of clothing for garden
2) Even if I was rich, I would never wear a $600 blouse to garden (good way to spoil the garment)
3) Gloves do not look like proper gardening ones
4) long hair untied- saftey hazard. #Melania #melaniatrump #balmain pic.twitter.com/rYSq2bm9wO— Princess TigerlilyAthena the socialite ??? (@TigerlilyAthena) August 1, 2018
After looking at these photos of Melania and Donald Trump Jr., I feel most sorry for the photographer. pic.twitter.com/ozK65xBGHE

Lol, that is one awkward pose/shot though.

looks like she and Don Junior share the same red flannel shirt, for whenever they need to do a nature-themed photo op

I loathe Schlump as much as anyone, but at least she releases little statements here and there opposing the idiot’s views. Two in recent memory were I believe that she watches CNN, regardless of what he thinks. And that she doesn’t view the media as enemies of the state. Not a fan of hers, but she seems to at least have her own views.

Yes, that IS interesting. It’s easy to imagine if any Republican politician running in 2018 who’d officially supported him in the past, made a pro-CNN statement, the politician would probably get a blast from above! A warning to stay on script! Yet with his wife, nada. She has no “primary opponent” to worry about. That pre-nup must be a doozy. Maybe it’s true he could shoot someone on Fifth Avenue and not lose any of his moron base (I never understood why that it is) but he’s afraid of that pre-nup.

…and she’s holding the shears backwards

Let’s not forget. Melania went on TV and also spouted off the birther arguments about Obama’s birth certificate.
AND
Melania said she wrote her own speech for the convention “WITH NO OUTSIDE HELP” and it was plagiarized from Michelle Obama….then when caught, the Trump camp blamed the same non-existent person they’d used in the past.

Kind of boring to always be on the attack against her. Why give her the attention? She’s there as long as her husband is President so why not just ignore her as much as possible?

She looks like she feels like a prisoner. How could any woman OR man share a bet with him
