Chrissy Teigen Slams Ivanka Trump Over Self-Isolation Coronavirus Tweet and Fans Have Words
After Chrissy Teigen had a few words for first daughter Ivanka Trump amid self-isolation, fans [...]
Some agreed with Teigen, lambasting Trump for assuming all Americans have the resources to stay home from work amid the coronavirus pandemic.
And a f-cking pay cheque - does Ivanka even know, or care, how stressful it for so many that can't work right now?

prevnextToo bad other parents dont have the luxury Ivanka has of staying home with the kids. Or making tents except out of tin foil. Her kids are 8, 6 & 3yrs old so unless she rented a baby, the last time she stayed home with them was 2 years ago#closethecamps pic.twitter.com/eTsMTHtGFm

Others wondered how genuine Trump was being, as judging by the children's ages, the photo was clearly a few years old.
fun fact, that staged photo is roughly three years old.

Some had ideas they wanted Trump, an adviser to her father, to take to the Oval Office when it comes to taking care of those working in public amid the pandemic.
prevnextCan you also send to aide to retail worker and cashiers who can't afford to go in isolation or quarantine? Some of us are also paid $7.50 have to use family or food stamps. Please keep in mind we risk our health so Americans can hoard and sneeze on us.

Still others disagreed with Teigen's point of view and wondered how she would have reacted had former first lady Michelle Obama sent the same photo.
prevnextIf @MichelleObama had tweeted this you would have been beside yourself with happiness. Of course, by the time her hubby had declared a national emergency 1,000 Americans had died from H1N1 but whatevs right, because #oRaNgEmAnbAd

One person wondered what Teigen was doing specifically with her own privilege to stop the spread of the coronavirus.

Some simply poked fun at Trump's "broom" comment, wondering who kept enough brooms to tape together for a fort.
I’m sorry but WHO has enough brooms to “tape together” to make a fort. I have exactly 1 broom lmfao
