Immediately after, the FLOTUS was criticized and called lazy for not doing much to help the country during the global health crisis.

“Lazy, lazy @FLOTUS, how about you doing some volunteer work or making masks for medical professionals?” Twitter user @blackhat_1 said.

“I'm going to be honest with you, these saccharine tweets while the front lines don't have PPE and your husband spends all day sh**posting on twitter is not helping anyone. Please stop,” Twitter user @AndreaR9Md said.

“As nurses, we do not have time to go outside. Please beg your husband to commit to doing something about this #COVID versus tweeting about ratings. People are dying,” Twitter user @Nursesleadwell said.

“It must be nice to have a big beautiful area to walk around. But please everyone steps outside of their tiny little apartments right next to lots of people, and get the virus. Freaking clueless! ” Twitter user @CuteCoffeeWench said.

“Your husband is killing his people with his ineptitude and you're tweeting about butterflies and unicorns,” Twitter user @KerryBirdWhite1 said.

“How is the tennis court coming along, the first escort?” Twitter user @KajEriksen said.

“Some people can't even breathe, madam. Too bad there are no ventilators because someone figured this was just a big Democratic hoax,” Twitter user @LoveMyCymba said.

“Do you even talk to your husband or read his Twitter feed?” Twitter user @jennifer__5 said.

“Clueless and irrelevant. November can’t get here soon enough,” Twitter user @MariBXBKgirl said.
