First Lady Melania Trump on Thursday tweeted out a photograph of her wearing a hardhat while supposedly overseeing renovations to the White House tennis pavilion.
I am excited to share the progress of the Tennis Pavillion at [the White House], she said. Thank you to the talented team for their hard work and dedication.
The first ladys tennis court photo op came at a time when America is still lagging far behind other countries in its response to coronavirus, as the White House admitted earlier in the day that it would not have 2,500 coronavirus test kits ready by the end of the week as it had previously promised.
Given this, many of Melanias followers had unkind words for her tone deaf photo op check out some reactions below.

Exactly who is going to play tennis at the WH? Certainly not her lard butt husband.
These people are so tone deaf and such a waste of protoplasm. Americans are stressed out and needing help because of coronavirus worries, and she is showing off her new foo foo project. They make me sick!

(15,805 posts)I can't see Malrovia in tennis togs, even with her high heeled sneakers and the over the shoulder trench coat. I'm unable to picture the porcine Trump making a rapid fire volley of anything but fried chicken legs.
So who is paying for this ode to the nouveau riche? Better yet, who will use it? Maybe Princess Ivanka needs a posh backdrop to promote her new summer collection of fashionable ladies sportswear.

(12,506 posts)This is nothing more than a very visible White House lawn structure meant to be a finger in the eye to all future presidents. Just because he's an a*****e and that's how psychotics roll.
Knowing that he is hated, it is also a "I dare you to tear this down when I'm gone" structure. He's daring the next Democratic president to mess with it

Hes failing on the looking good part though.

(15,333 posts)The hameau is the best-known of a series of rustic garden constructions built at the time, notably the Prince of Condé's Hameau de Chantilly (17741775) which was the inspiration for the Versailles hamlet Such model farms, operating under principles espoused by the Physiocrats, were fashionable among the French aristocracy at the time. One primary purpose of the hameau was to add to the ambiance of the Petit Trianon, giving the illusion that it was deep in the countryside rather than within the confines of Versailles. The rooms at the hameau allowed for more intimacy than the grand salons at Versailles or at the Petit Trianon...
It shows up in Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette
