Funny tweet about Melania's footwear

I think you have to look at the historical context too, though.  Back in the 1940s, women hardly ever wore pants and wouldn't dare to leave the house unless fully dressed "properly" in a skirt, pantyhose (when available due to wartime shortages), and dress heels.  

Because people are dying and losing everything they have and she's focused on advertising her self/brand?

Yes. To me it's unseemly to be at all preoccupied with your title and your "place."

During the very first weeks of this administration, Mrs. Trump used to end her tweets with #PoweroftheFirstLady. She wasn't doing much - living in NYC and flying to Florida when a head of state couple visited. But she'd post photos of walking to dinner or visiting a garden or school with a wife of a foreign leader and attach that oddly gratuitous hashtag. She hadn't EARNED any power; she was simply proclaiming that she posessed it.

(Maybe she came up with the hashtag idea herself; maybe her husband suggested it; maybe it was a second language/cultural thing. Regardless, as soon as she hired staff, it disappeared.)

So, this "Look who I am" theme now continues with stuff like the hat. For me, the entitlement and branding in those actions is off putting - or, at the least, myopic.

Even so, what Melanie wore is completely in keeping with what she normally wears. Personally I see nothing wrong with that and very certainly the least of concerns in this dreadful situation.

I really don't have an opinion about what Melania wore, I just wanted to mention about the historical context.  Seeing that picture reminded me of my Aunt who was from that generation and how she got dressed to the nines every time she left the house.  There were many women like her who were raised that it was improper to do anything else.

A big difference is that people actually liked the queen mum. 

As noted by Pete Souza on Instagram earlier.

Making a PSA for those affected to help get assistance from FEMA.

Im thankful that all we have to complain about is her choice of shoes to get on the plane in and what she had on her hat. I'm thankful than we've shown as a country we can come together and be there for each other regardless of any differences.  The governor of Texas had this to say, The coordination at the federal, state and local level has been as good as any tragedy that we've ever seen in the United States.

Our talks began before the hurricane even hit Texas. From the White House, to his cabinets, to FEMA, to all of his leaders, we have planned and prepared for this days before the hurricane even came.

The president took action swiftly, early, coordinated with the state of Texas in a way far superior than I've ever seen in a hurricane tragedy. Texans are genuinely appreciative of the way the federal government and the President have stood up and addressed the needs of Texans. We are suffering here in the state of Texas and what the President is doing is helping Texans.
