The Internet Reacts To Melania Trump Reading To Children At The Children’s National Hospital But Not Showing The Pictures: ‘Tell Me You Left The Parenting To The Nanny Without Telling Me”

Melania Trump recently visited the Children’s National Hospital in Washington, DC, to spend time with sick children around the holidays. Kids gathered around as she read a Christmas book to them, but she neglected to turn the book around to show the children a single picture, and now she’s catching heat for it online.

Earlier this week the First Lady visited the Children’s National Hospital to spread some holiday cheer. Kids gathered around her to listen to her read How Does Santa Go Down The Chimney? written by Mac Barnett and illustrated by Jon Klassen. However, Melania made one big mistake: she didn’t share any of the illustrations with the children!

After reading each page, Melania simply flipped to the next, neglecting to show the kids gathered around her what she was looking at on each page. For many kids, the pictures are the best part of any book, and with Melania’s thick accent, it probably would’ve helped to see the illustrations along with her narration.
