They have been trying to smear Melania, implying she is a colonist.

 

Talk about taking the pith! Melania's safari hat is mercilessly mocked on social media, as users deride her for dressing 'like a European colonizer'

The first lady, 48, toured an animal sanctuary in Nairobi, Kenya, on Friday, wearing a safari hat along with a white shirt and khaki riding pants

Safari hats emerged in the 19th century and were predominantly worn by armed forces in the colonies; they remain a symbol of colonial rule and oppression

Social media users quickly slammed Melania's choice of accessory, deeming it insensitive and comparing it to a costume

'How "imperialist colonial oppressor" can you get?!' one person tweeted

'That pith helmet you have carried was used by colonialists during the dark days. Doesn't sit well with us Africans. Who advised you?' another Twitter user asked

Some compared Melania's outfit to the one worn by Meryl Streep in the 1985 drama Out of Africa

'Worst Meryl Streep impersonation ever': First Lady Melania Trump is mocked for Egypt outfit that was 'Carmen Sandiego meets smooth criminal, meets Colonel Sanders'

Melania Trump has been mocked for the all-white outfit she donned for her last day in Africa on Saturday

Social media users say she resembles Colonel Sanders or Meryl Streep from her role in Out of Africa

The First Lady paired a tan linen blazer, white pants and Chanel ballerina flats with a black neck tie

The First Lady began wrapping up her solo tour of Africa in Egypt on Saturday with a trip to the pyramids and the Great Sphinx.

 

Her visit will wrap up what has been considered a successful trip, where she has been promoting her Be Best program, focusing on things like cyberbullying and wellbeing.

 

Trump's outfits have also struck a chord with voters , who have mostly praised her colorful choices.

 

Saturday elicited a different reaction though, with some suggesting instead of taking sartorial inspiration from the beauty that surrounded her, she had instead leaned towards 11 secret herbs and spices.

 

Dressed in a tan linen blazer, white pants and Chanel ballerina flats, Melania channelled Colonel Sanders with a black necktie deeply reminiscent of the chicken tycoon's standard uniform.

Twitter users lit up, asking: 'why is she dressed like Colonel Sanders going on an archaeology trip', and another joked she was auditioning for a new job.

Others were not settled on the Colonel, and said it had to be a mix of beloved characters.

One Twitter user hypothesized the First Lady's outfit was a specific combination.

'Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego meets smooth criminal, meets Colonel Sanders,' he wrote.

Another called her outfit the 'worst Meryl Streep impersonation ever', referencing the actress' role in Out of Africa.
