WTH? Melania Trump Wore This Racist Outfit While In Africa And Got Demolished On Twitter

Colonizer outfit! What was she bloody thinking, showing up in Africa in this outfit. The photo on the left is from 1935. The lack of understanding cultural norms, and mores baffles me. Melania Trump an her "Be Best." 😡😡 pic.twitter.com/dAppWarbY9

Melania Trump wearing a pith helmet on her trip to "Africa" is more than a silly sartorial choice. It's a reflection of her outdated understanding of Africa. (Also, she was photographed in safari attire multiple times on this trip.) #FLOTUSinAfricaBingo https://t.co/aCnkOnPBF8

Melania Trump went on a safari in Kenya wearing a pith helmet - a symbol of European colonial rule across Africa 🤦🏿‍♂️ pic.twitter.com/JSvNghTs3p

« The First Lady was photographed wearing a white pith helmet while on a safari in Kenya. The pith helmet was popularized in the late 19th century and favored by British officers in Africa so that it’s become at symbol of colonial rule and oppression. » https://t.co/1rMJa2LaDk

Once again Mrs. #Trump’s unerring bad-sense of #fashion has interfered with her public actions. Like her husband’s hair, she needs a stylist. https://t.co/EJaSDm9Gvu
