Donald Trump took some time towards the end of an unscripted inauguration rally speech — his second of the day — to poke fun at his wife’s wardrobe on Monday, joking that the hat she chose to wear almost made her “blow away.” But folks on social media joked that the fashion choice was actually much more strategic.
Melania Trump opted to wear all black for her husband’s swearing in ceremony, complete with a wide-brimmed hat. That part of the outfit quickly drew mockery online, and even her own husband poked fun at it to a crowd.
“We went out to the helicopter just prior to this, and said goodbye as custom, and the wind is blowing like crazy, and with the hat that she’s wearing, she almost blew away,” Trump said with a chuckle.
