Many Americans took time off from work to celebrate Labor Day over the weekend, with first lady Melania Trump making a special shout on social media. However, the response to her celebratory tweet was divided, with some questioning her actual duties as first lady.
Melania took to social media to post about Labor Day, including a link to the White House statement from her husband Donald Trump. “This #LaborDay, we recognize & celebrate the hard working American workforce. Thank you for all you have done to keep our country moving, even in the most unprecedented times,” tweeted Melania.
The first lady’s tweet was met with very mixed reactions. Melania’s supporters have also returned the happy Labor Day wishes to the first lady as well as a lot of heart and thumbs up emojis in the responses. However, many have also criticized her tweet, questioning what her actual duties are in the government. One user referenced Melania’s infamous ‘I don’t really care, do u?’ jacket in their response. “What the hell would you know about America’s work force? And do you Really care?!” tweeted the user.
Another user commented that no one in the Trump family “has known a hard day’s work.” Others have also responded with their criticism of her husband’s administration. “I’m sure these hard working Americans would like a liveable wage instead of some fake acknowledgment,” tweeted one user.
“Does that include the small businesses you’ve destroyed or the workers at good year?” said one user. “Or just the ones who vote for the toddler?”
Meanwhile, several weeks after Melania unveiled the renovated White House Rose Garden during the Republican convention, it has now encountered some problems. The garden was experiencing some issues with drainage and complications on the construction, according to those who are knowledgeable on the matter.
Renovation of the White House Rose Garden took three weeks to complete. By August 22, the first lady threw a private party to celebrate the renovations. The initial renovations of the garden were financed through private donations and not taxpayer money. As the garden recently needed to be re-sodded, a White House spokesperson said that taxpayer money will not be used in repairing the garden.
