Melania Trump Tried to Make #Powerofthefirstlady Hashtag Happen. It Didn't.
20 February 2017
Ah, Melania. She's taken over the FLOTUS account and in an attempt to create some distance from her usual car selfies and private plane pics and get down with the kids, our first lady has created a hashtag.
In her short but sweet seven-tweet series, Melania has tried several times to make #Powerofthefirstlady a thing and it's just not happening. It began with this, a picture of Melania pausing gracefully outside the Morakami Museum in Florida:
We are responsible for empowering our next generation with values #powerofeverychild #Powerofthefirstlady pic.twitter.com/L1FcuTNKwg

And continued in a tweet thanking model Emily Ratajkowski for standing up for her in the face of slut shaming.
Applause to all women around the world who speak up, stand up and support other women! @emrata #PowerOfEveryWoman #PowerOfTheFirstLady

But alas, the people of Twitter were not here for that kind of lifestyle. Not even a little.
How can @FLOTUS talk about female empowerment when her husband makes misogynistic comments? #PowerOfTheFirstLady

#PowerOfTheFirstLady is optional. If Melania Trump wants to do nothing, however, let her do it in D.C. She's costing us $1 mil a day in NY.

#PowerOfTheFirstLady: reminding lots of little girls to go to college and find their own success without a corrupt sugar daddy. @FLOTUS

And finally:
God, I feel sorry for Melania. Can't even hire an intern to come up with an inspiring hashtag below 20 characters :-( #PowerOfTheFirstLady
