Melania Trump Is Planning Solo Trip To Africa, And Twitter Users Relish The Irony

Source: Huffington Post

It’s hard to tell if Melania Trump is purposely trolling her husband, President Donald Trump, but if she is, it’s epic. The first lady announced on Monday that she is planning a solo trip to Africa this year, according to The Washington Post.

She will be visiting multiple countries but has not specified her itinerary.

The announcement of the trip is ironic, given that her husband described Haiti and African nations as “shithole” countries in January and decided against restoring protections for immigrants from those regions.
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” the president said, sources told The Washington Post.

Twitter users couldn’t help relishing the irony after the news was announced.

“This will be my first time traveling to Africa and I am excited to educate myself on the issues facing children throughout the continent, while also learning about its rich culture and history,” she said in a statement:

We are a global society and I believe it is through open dialogue and the exchanging of ideas that we have a real opportunity to learn from one another. I look forward to highlighting the successful humanitarian work and development programs being done in many of the countries.
