Melania Trump Mocked by Internet for Wearing Sunglasses at Night
When Melania Trump makes headlines, it’s typically for one of two reasons: one, for her deftly choreographed evasions of Donald Trump’s hand-holding attempts, and two, for her incongruous fashion choices. Late Wednesday night, the First Lady returned from a trip to Puerto Rico and Las Vegas with her husband. As the pair were most definitely holding hands, the eagle-eyed critics on Twitter seized on another detail: her sunglasses.
As Fox News puts it, “The eyewear quickly became the focal point for Twitter users who pointed out that the sun was not out.”
Inquiring minds demanded to know why she was wearing sunglasses at night—a somewhat bombastic move usually reserved for Hollywood stars—and the theories began pouring in.
“I wonder if Melania Trump wears big sunglasses in public so no one can see her rolling her eyes at the B.S. her hubby says,” wrote @wesleysmom28. Ice cold, Wesley’s mom.
“Melania was hoping her sunglasses were so big that people wouldn’t recognize her…” proposed @HeathRaleigh, in reference to the time Donald Trump appeared not to recognize his wife, who was standing right next to him, because she was wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap.

Others made oblique references to her other instances of inappropriate wardrobe choices.
“I expect melania to come out with her own line of disaster wear complete with hat and sunglasses,” said @liberalchik, bringing to mind the time the FLOTUS wore stilettos and sunglasses to Houston after Hurricane Harvey.
Yet others pleaded with her to cease this behavior immediately, some because they felt the sunglasses rendered her incapable of conveying compassion or warmth.
This isn’t the first time Melania Trump has gotten flak for her unusual fashion choices. Recently, the Italian-made dress she wore during Trump’s speech about American labor was eviscerated on Twitter, and later, an expensive outfit she wore during a United Nations address was called out for being tone-deaf. And we doubt it will be the last time.
