President Trump Response
Many people were confused by President Trump's response when asked about the first lady's coronavirus testing status. They thought the answer came a little too quick, and suspected this was the kind of thing the White House would have announced proactively, not thrown out in casual press conference.
No Symptoms
Of course, many were outraged to hear about another wealthy, well-connected person being tested without displaying any of the symptoms of COVID-19. They cited reports of people with symptoms being denied tests due to the shortages around the country.
Skepticism
Some people were even skeptical of the report, due in part to the way it was announced. A few claimed they either did not believe that the first lady had been tested, or else did not believe that the test had been negative.
'I Really Don't Care, Do U?'
Meanwhile, others revived the old catchphrase associated with the first lady: "I really don't care, do u?" The phrase was painted on the back of a jacket that Melania Trump wore to the U.S.-Mexico border to visit one of her husband's controversial detention centers.
Projects
With varying degrees of sarcasm, some people asked about how Melania Trump's various projects were going through the pandemic. They mentioned the tennis courts she had put in on the White House grounds, as well as her "Be Best" initiative.
Resources
People pointed out the massive resources the first lady has access to, compared to those who are suffering from coronavirus elsewhere in the country. They said that they felt little concern for her, trusting that she would be safe through the outbreak.
Social Distancing
Finally, many joked that the first lady had already shown her dedication to social distancing, showing pictures and videos where she kept a safe distance between herself and her husband.
