Today is National Nurses Day. It is a day when we recognize the heroic, lifesaving work of America’s nurses.
This year, the day has an even greater significance as our nation’s health care workers are on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic, risking their lives every day to keep others alive.
Over the past month or so, First Lady Melania Trump has been posting tone deaf videos to Twitter in which she offers hollow messages of hope to Americans while her husband suggests people inject their lungs with disinfectant and encourages protestors to bring guns to state capitals to protest social distancing guidelines.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
This morning, Mrs. Trump, dressed in a designer white lab coat, posted a video to Twitter thanking American nurses for all their hard work during these difficult times.
“I would like to take a moment to extend my sincere appreciation to our nation’s nurses,” she tweeted. “You are an inspiration to us all and your actions show us the true power of the American spirit.”

Never mind the fact that, just a few weeks ago, her husband accused them of stealing PPE equipment and hoarding ventilators. Or the fact that he’s been ordering the federal government to seize hospital supplies without any explanation.
And now, the responses…
your “husband” accused them of stealing PPE from hospitals. #BeBest

Good start, next time try and be genuine when you say thank you.
Just being able to read from a TelePrompTer without making a mistake isn’t enough.— bottles (@bottles97251382) May 6, 2020

Thank you @FLOTUS, you are a great example to us all and to those sex workers who dream of getting out of the business.

Send them adequate PPE otherwise stop talking.

The amount of flattering bots on this feed is hilarious. Your husband does not support medical workers, grifter, or he would give them the supplies they need. Just go away..

The Melania articles are always fun because the right wing troll accounts seem to get particularly aggressive and frantic defending her. Seems like they know there is nothing that can be defending so they go overboard.
As for Melania, good for her, for reading a bunch of words given to her that she has zero interest in. What an inspiration.

Now I am happier than ever… I work from home and I am my own boss now like I always wanted… I see a lot of unhappy people around me, working the same old boring job that’s sucking the life out of them day by day… Everytime I see someone like that I say START FREELANCING MAN! This is where I started..? 6.gp/a72Xf

She’s completely irrelevant.
PLAYS WELL WITH OTHERS
For once Mrs Stepford is truly speaking from the heart…
Of course she is truly appreciative of Nurses…. aren’t they the ones who gives her daily Botox injections?

No thanks. I’m good. I don’t want her appreciation while her husband puts my life in danger. I have to wear my N95 mask for a week before being allowed to get a new one at the hospital. I have to deal with patients who refuse to wear masks, because they believe covid is fake news. There was a security guard shot this week, because someone wouldn’t wear a mask. Screw this lady and her whole family.

What’s this got to do with LGBT? I couldn’t give a sh*t about American politics.

What does a representative of a bigoted administration that has stated they will appoint judges to attack LGBT rights being mocked have to do with us?
Easy, exposing them as the ignorant, bigoted hypocritical jokes they are helps us.
But nice try.

If it is ever shown that she is gay it will be her one redeeming quality.
