Melania Trump has been trying her best to help amid the coronavirus pandemic. The First Lady of the United States, in fact, has been very active on social media lately as she keeps on reminding the public to practice social distancing and highlighted the importance of cleanliness and hygiene at present time. Melania even suggested some activities her followers could do while they are staying at home. However, critics of President Donald Trump’s wife continue to condemn her online.

Recently, Melania took to Twitter to thank the navy and military for their work in the middle of this global health crisis. “As the #USNSComfort hospital ships off to New York today, we are reminded of the selfless acts of courage our @USNavy medical personnel & crew are doing to ensure all Americans stay healthy & safe as we fight the spread of #COVID19,” the FLOTUS wrote. “Thank you to everyone in the military for your every day courage!” she said in another tweet.

Haters, immediately, took the opportunity to mock and criticize Melania Trump and the current administration. “Your husband said he was going kiss it goodbye, can’t wait until we can do that to this whole grifting family in 2021,” one netizen responded to the FLOTUS’s post. “Yes thank you #USNSComfort for making up for @realDonaldTrump inability to protect our country! Hoping you have better PPE’s than this though! #BeQuiet” another user penned in the comment section.

“Your husband's on his way to promote his B.S. propaganda and have photo ops! He SHOULD be visiting Health Care Workers to thank them for their service, and he SHOULD be a first hand witness to those sick and dying.... A better use of his Presidential time! PPE provided of course!” Anita Warren stated. “selfless acts of courage? How's mr bonespurs doing today? How is your tennis court coming?” Barbara Tepper shared. “You do know your so called husband, @realDonaldTrump is the reason why everything is so bad, right?!?” Nancy Wash added.

“It was appalling that your husband's priorities are to waste taxpayer money, military and civilian time and to violate social distancing rules just so he could have some footage for a campaign ad,” Pam Szitas said. “Melanoma it doesn’t even sound like u wrote the words when you type them lol. Nothing you say is authentic,” Kat Athay added. Melania Trump has yet to respond to these harsh remarks.

Meanwhile, the FLOTUS encouraged young Americans to communicate with their grandparents, who have been isolated amid the coronavirus outbreak. Melania Trump reminded, in a tweet, to never put the family at risk by visiting their loved ones in person. Instead, they can make use of technology and invite them to a video chat. “Many elderly people are unable to receive visitors right now & while this will all be temporary I encourage children to create colorful cards or pictures & show them to their loved ones via FaceTime. The thought would mean a lot & bring a smile to many faces!” she wrote.
