While visiting one of the places Trump believes is a sh*t hole,
Melania Trump wore a hat and outfit that symbolizes white impearlism. She wore a white pith helmet, which was worn by Europeans in African colonies. Matthew Carotenuto, a historian at St. Lawrence University in New York,
tweeted, “It’s like showing up to a meeting of African-American cotton farmers in a Confederate uniform.” See below:

Melania also reportedly complained that she wishes people would focus on what she does rather than what she wears.
