First Lady Melania Trump is making waves... for her flood fashion.
The former model is always elegantly turned out and perfectly coiffed, and Tuesday was no exception as she left the White House with her president husband for storm-ravaged Texas.
Trump was photographed walking across the White House lawn in sky-high stiletto pumps, part of an outfit that included tailored capri pants, an army green bomber jacket with ruched sleeves and aviator sunglasses.
"Melania over here looking like Flood Watch Barbie," writer Maria Del Russo tweeted.
Television writer-producer Brad Wollack quipped: "Help is on the way, Texas! Don't worry, Melania has her special storm stilettos."
Added comedian Jessica Kirson: "Brilliant idea @FLOTUS. You can pick up debris with your heels."
President Donald Trump's outfit was more in line with what politicians normally wear to visit weary survivors of deadly natural disasters: a black hooded rain jacket, khaki trousers and brown boots.
A wide swath of Texas is reeling from monster storm Harvey, which has devastated coastal communities and left large parts of Houston -- America's fourth largest city -- underwater.
Tens of thousands of people are packed into overcrowded shelters as authorities continue to pluck victims from rooftops.
The first lady changed into something a bit more disaster-appropriate on the flight to the hard-hit coastal city of Corpus Christi -- the Trumps' first stop in Texas.
She stepped off Air Force One wearing black trousers and a white button up shirt, trading the stilettos for white tennis shoes.
She also wore a black baseball cap that read "FLOTUS," or the abbreviation for First Lady of the United States, setting off another round of Melania-bashing on Twitter.
At day's end, the first lady issued a statement hailing the "strength and resilience" of Texans.
"I want to be able to offer my help and support in the most productive way possible, not through just words, but also action," she said.
"My thoughts and prayers continue to be with the people of Texas and Louisiana."
Let me guess what the Melania-bashers look like.
Television writer-producer Brad Wollack quipped: “Help is on the way, Texas! Don’t worry, Melania has her special storm stilettos.”...
It’s illegal to beat the #### out of someone from Television even if they’re HUGE @@@holes, right?
It amazes me that tiny little Air Force One had room to haul a change of clothes! Who woulda thunk it?!
These haters got nothing else.
Hmmm, wasn’t it just last year it was considered racist by the media if you criticized the clothes FLOTUS was wearing ?
The lefties are soooo desperate they’re attacking shoes but nobody is surprised. They lose more ground with each asinine statement they make.
I saw the FLOTUS hat on. I turned to a coworker and said, “Watch—she is going to catch shit for that cap.”
Sure nuff....
I know we are not supposed to make fun of people based on their photos...but has this ginger ever picked up anything heavier than his hand.
Too bad they squash bullying in middle school. This d bag may have actually stood a chance if someone slapped his fourth grade goofy glasses off his head a couple of times.
They have uncle bern. whatever
They say she wore capri pants leaving the White House. False. Capri pants come about 2/3 of the way down the calve, and her slacks were definitely down to her ankles.
They are Greener than our First Lady's Dress.
My gaydar spiked so badly, it broke!
That should have been “calf.” Where’d my editor go????
They catch it for just waking up in the morning. As does everyone that is not a far right crazy violent liberal. At this point we may as well all do as we please, the left is going to lie about us anyway.
True, they look more like ankle pants, not capris.
I don’t think I’ve seen her in true capri pants, probably too casual.
You can bet he's always trying to skewer something, with his rapier something!
Her Mother must have told her to always stand up straight.
She has excellent Posture.
First she is ridiculed for heels. Then she is ridiculed for running shoes and a flotus cap.
MOOCH would have been praised if she wore a burlap cotton tow sack.
