First lady Melania Trump’s Mother’s Day op-ed failed to hit the mark with many critics.
On Friday, the first lady penned a piece for The Washington Post — whose owner, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, has been accused of cozying up to the Trump administration on multiple fronts — about motherhood and her role in the White House.
Trump called on Americans to “restore the honor of motherhood after years in which feminism often placed career above family, with consequences to our nation,” to carve out time for themselves and “champion a new American model that restores the honor of motherhood by encouraging all women to lead boldly at work while also making family the cornerstone of our national future.”
A vast majority of the top-ranked comments on the article ripped into the opinion piece as out-of-touch and condescending, especially given the economic struggles faced by many in her husband’s America.
“Is this a joke??” asked one commenter.
