Former First Lady Melania Trump was the subject of a variety of social media backlash over the weekend after she tweeted out a somewhat bizarre Father’s Day post that left Americans with a hell of a lot of thoughts.
To mark the holiday meant to honor and celebrate dads of all shapes and sizes yesterday, Melania took to her Twitter account and posted, “Wishing all the dads and father figures a #HappyFathersDay!”
Wishing all the dads and father figures a #HappyFathersDay!

The responses to Mel’s somewhat bizarre and cold tweet were a bit of a mixed bag, to say the least. But suffice it to say, there were very few tweets in her comments that were, well, supportive in much of any way:

Be honest with us please, Mrs. Trump. What kind of father did Barron grow up with? Did he tuck the kid into bed and kiss him goodnight? Play games with him? Attend school events? Help with homework? Set a good example of a faithful loyal husband?

Of course, it’s impossible to ignore the fact that Melania’s literal husband and father of her only child wasn’t even mentioned in this half-assed Father’s Day tweet.
Honestly, the cringe is almost painful.
