A half a world away from the spectacle of Washington, Melania Trump still managed to create one of her own during a Kenyan safari on Friday, riding out into the grassland wearing a crisp white pith helmet — a common symbol of European colonial rule.

Its San Fransicko, pith on them.
In other words only the unibrows of idiot leftists were raised.
I’m a little disappointed. I heard she was wearing a white pith helmet. I immediately started searching for a picture wondering what color her shoes were and how you can stand around in the African sun without being fully dressed. Heeheeee. Best looking First Lady ever! MAGA!!!
She dresses in Western clothes and they call her insensitive because its a sign of colonialism. But if she wore local clothes the would call her out for “cultural appropriation”...same if she wore any other kind of non-western clothes. Guess people left wing nuts don’t like aren’t allowed to go out in public.
“...Well, did she look good?...”
Is that a trick question?
thank goodness they focused on the (safari-company-issued) hat. They would’ve had a real pearl clutching moment if the riding breeches and boots were mentioned, too.
Charmin.
I always do ignore them.
Great image! Great caption!
ah yes, colonialism. The renaming of centuries of mutually beneficial trade agreements between regional tribal chiefdoms and Europeans, encouraging on-site settlement and development to the benefit of those same chiefdoms, turned sour when jealous tribal activists decided they wanted it all for themselves, because, colorism.
Damn ...she’s gorgeous!!!!
“the sight of a first lady wearing something so closely associated with the exploitation of Africans.”
Ahh yes I remember the good old days when we used to cut the Hottentots to ribbons with these pith helmets. That taught the blighters a lesson what! Then we used to load them up into enormous helmets and send them overseas. Wouldn’t have been able to rape, kill and pillage without them!
Its a dang hat and she looks gorgeous in it!
Great find! Jane Fonda and friends working their AA gun is another one. I’d post it, but my fu is weak.
Excellent point. Not to mention britches, shirts, skivvies and Safari trucks.
See the smiles on those men’s faces?
So okay, Melania was raising eyebrows, among, um, other things.
It would be just perfect if he would tweet that question every single morning for the remainder of his presidency!! Lol
“Pretty in Pith”...
(Maybe she needs a pink one)
