Melania Trump Mocked Online for Wearing
\nSunglasses at Night<\/h1>\n

Donald and Melania Trump have returned to Washington, D.C., after spending Thanksgiving in Florida, but
\nit wasn’t the former president who went viral this time – it was Melania’s outfit.<\/p>\n

The Trump family spent the holiday weekend at Mar-a-Lago with their son Barron. While Donald made
\nheadlines for various political comments and appearances, Melania largely stayed out of public view and
\nfocused on family time.<\/p>\n

But once the long weekend ended, her quiet profile changed.<\/p>\n

Sunglasses at Night Spark Online Ridicule<\/h2>\n

On Sunday evening, Marine One touched down on the White House lawn. As Donald and Melania Trump
\nexited the helicopter – after previously stepping off Air Force One – viewers online noticed something
\nunusual:<\/p>\n

It was pitch dark outside, yet Melania was wearing oversized sunglasses.<\/p>\n

Critics on X (formerly Twitter) quickly pounced:<\/p>\n

“She’d walk down those stairs better if she wasn’t wearing sunglasses at night. Does she think she’s Anna
\nWintour?”<\/p>\n

“If she’s not hiding behind sunglasses, she’s hiding under a huge hat. She doesn’t want to look at anyone.”<\/p>\n

And then came the conspiracy theories.<\/p>\n

Body Double Rumors Resurface<\/h2>\n

Some users revived the long-running, tongue-in-cheek claim that a Melania “double” appears at public
\nevents.<\/p>\n

“Why would the real Melania wear sunglasses after dark ??? ”<\/p>\n

“Sunglasses at night – must be the body double.”<\/p>\n

“Is she channeling Cory Hart now? Normal people don’t wear sunglasses at night,” one joked, referencing
\nthe singer’s 1980s hit.<\/p>\n

But not everyone criticized her.<\/p>\n

Fans Defend Melania’s Look<\/h2>\n

Some users suggested practical reasons for the sunglasses:<\/p>\n

“Maybe she wasn’t wearing eye makeup and didn’t want to be photographed. I do the same when I travel,”
\none person wrote.<\/p>\n

Others praised her style:<\/p>\n

“Melania should publish a fashion book. Her coats, jackets, sunglasses – she’s pure class.”<\/p>\n

Old Christmas Controversy Resurfaces<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As the holiday season begins, online chatter also revived a 2020 controversy involving Melania.
\nLast week, she welcomed the official White House Christmas tree – a yearly tradition for first ladies.<\/p>\n

But in 2020, leaked audio released by former friend and adviser Stephanie Winston Wolkoff revealed
\nMelania expressing frustration with holiday duties during the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

In the 2018 recording, Melania vented that she was criticized for her husband’s border policies while
\nbeing expected to enthusiastically lead Christmas decor efforts:<\/p>\n

“They say I’m complicit. I’m like him. I don’t do enough. Meanwhile I’m working my a ** off on Christmas
\nstuff – who gives a f *** about Christmas decorations? But I have to do it.”<\/p>\n

She also complained about being atta:cked for the family-separation policy while claiming similar issues
\nexisted under previous administrations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
