Melania Trump's Green Dress At The RNC Became An Instant Meme
"Melania's fashion choices always send a message."
Melania Trump gifted the internet with a new meme Thursday night as the president delivered his acceptance speech for his party nomination at the Republican National Convention.
After the first lady arrived at the convention wearing a bright green dress that was the same shade as a green screen, people quickly overlaid the gown with headlines, charts, and images about the coronavirus — a topic that most convention speakers largely ignored — and the faces of other public figures.
Green screen #1 has launched. It’s a strong first entry.
Loved @FLOTUS dress tonight!? #RNCConvention2020 #GreenScreen
Melania Trump's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. But this isn't the first time the first lady's fashion choices have reached meme status. In 2018, she wore a jacket that said "I really don't care, do u?" while heading to the border to visit children separated from their parents as a result of her husband's policy.
The seemingly insensitive decision had people wondering if she was trying to send a message.
But on Thursday at the RNC, she gave Twitter users the power to send their own messages.

EVEN A MEME WITHIN A MEME.
