First Lady Melania Trump recently visited the Children's National Hospital in Washington D.C. as part of a long-standing tradition for first ladies to spread holiday cheer. However, while she read the classic Christmas story "How Does Santa Go Down the Chimney?" to the young patients, social media was buzzing with critiques of her performance.
Unfortunately, instead of focusing on the heartwarming moment, some users took to social media to poke fun at Trump's attempt to keep the children's attention. Her heavy accent also became a topic of conversation, with some users making jokes about needing an English version of the story.
Despite the online backlash, it was clear that the children were grateful for Trump's visit. Accompanied by an 11-year-old boy and a 5-year-old girl, she read the story while the kids seemed to be more interested in other things around them. Some users even suggested that showing them the pictures in the book might have helped capture their attention.
On Instagram, some users criticized Trump's choice of attire, comparing it to that of a funeral director. However, amidst the jokes and criticism, it was reported that the kids and other attendees were grateful for her presence. Following the reading, Trump spent time with the patients and even gifted them "Be Best" ornaments.
In her speech, she wished the children a merry Christmas and a happy New Year, reminding them of the magic of the holiday season and spreading love and strength to all. This tradition was first started by First Lady Bess Truman in the 1940s and has been continued by first ladies ever since.
While some may have chosen to focus on the negatives, it is heartwarming to see Trump take the time to spread joy and happiness to those in need. Let us remember the true message of the holiday season and spread love and kindness to all.
