First lady Melania Trump was greeted by demonstrators holding sings referencing her husband's past remarks upon landing in Malawi on Thursday morning.

The Associated Press reported that among the demonstrators, who were white, one woman held a sign reading “#MELANIATOO,” with the “ME” written in black, bold letters. Another couple held up a sign that read, "Welcome to Malawi. #NOTASHITHOLE!" according to the outlet, a reference to President Trump's remarks earlier this year in which he reportedly referred to immigrants from Haiti and African countries as coming from “shithole countries.”


Another sign read “69 Days Past the Deadline to Reunite Families,” the AP reported, apparently referring to the Trump administration’s controversial zero tolerance immigration policy, which led to the separations of thousands of families earlier this year.

The sign-holders were among scores of children and women who traveled to Kamuzu International Airport to greet the first lady.

1. Here's hoping the "brand" takes a hit.

Indeed, hoist her and her husband on the same petard.

2. I can't imagine what this must be like for her.

DO you think she is at all embarrassed?

3. She is still married Trump, the woman has not one core of dignity in her.
