This meme of Melania Trump poking around the White House garden has been 10 months in the making. But it’s well worth the wait.
For reasons unknown, a September 2017 snap of the first lady supposedly planting and harvesting vegetables with children from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America went viral all over again this week.
Model and cookbook author Chrissy Teigen, a persistently vocal critic of President Donald Trump’s administration, led the charge by noting Melania Trump’s immaculately clean sneakers.

“These look exactly like my workout soles,” wrote Teigen. “Because I work out as much as this chick gardens.”
Unsurprisingly, other people on Twitter joined the fun, mocking Trump for striking a hesitant pose in the garden patch founded by her predecessor Michelle Obama:

Photographer: You’re handling those sheers like a pro. Now put those imaginary veggies in that basket and show them who the boss is. There it is. Hold it, holllld it. Perfect. You’re a natural.

1) poor choice of clothing for garden

2) Even if I was rich, I would never wear a $600 blouse to garden (good way to spoil the garment)
3) Gloves do not look like proper gardening ones
4) long hair untied- saftey hazard. #Melania #melaniatrump #balmain pic.twitter.com/rYSq2bm9wO
