The Woman From Marie Antoinette's Fantasy Farm

     Melania Trump visits four African countries in five days.  Emphasis on meetings with children.  If meeting with elephants in Kenya, they are calves.  She feeds a calf with a milk bottle.  When hugging children a smile shoves away the usual frozen expression of an isolated wealthy woman trapped in a loveless marriage to the world's most famous prick.
     She visited a child welfare clinic in Ghana where she gazed at an infant in an incubator.  She met with tribal chieftains in a place called Obama Hall.  She was given a tour of a former fort used in the slave trade.  In Malawi, resembling a giantess in four inch heels, she talked to a roomful of students sitting on the floor.  She met with first ladies, hugged flower girls.  The height of her heels was relentlessly stratospheric.  The modest but attractive clothing of Kenya's first lady, Margaret Kenyatta, contrasts startlingly with Melania Trump's flamboyant couture.  Out for a non-violent big game tour in Nairobi National Park, Melania Trump wears a white blouse, khaki pants tucked into brown leather boots, and a white pith helmet.  On her way to get a glimpse of Tarzan?
     At an elephant orphanage she pets the animals' rough heads and tips the milk bottle, smiling broadly because this reminds her of when she fed her son Barron.
     Melania Trump loves the little ones, especially those without parents.  There are many of these in Texas whose parents aren't dead, but their children have been separated from them according to a policy enforced by Mrs. Trump's husband, resulting in Central American minors forced to waste their lives inside for-profit American prisons.  Does Melania Trump know that her husband inflicts pain and death on the world's children on a scale John Wayne Gacy would envy?
     The Washington Post this morning put out a brief story entitled, "Melania Trump in Egypt to tour pyramids, Sphinx".
     U.S. Agency for International Development has been working on a project to drop groundwater levels to prevent further damage to the pyramids and the Sphinx.  Mrs. Trump will probably hear about this from an on-site scientist.  Her own Sphinx-like face will nod up and down.  She's supposed to meet, too, with Egypt's president, al-Sissi and of course the first lady, Entissar Mohameed Amer (cool name).  Did President Trump tell his wife, "When you meet with Sissi, tell him he can have the F-35s, but he has to be prepared to use them against Iran."
     She's in Egypt right now, or perhaps is on her way back already.  Fast trip, lots of brown kids and elephants, she didn't go during the hottest time of the year.  She can catch up on her sleep on board the plane.  Did it occur to her that Donald Jr. and Eric, her stepsons, kill large African mammals?  That her husband eliminated the slain African animal importation ban, probably to do his sons a favor?  Does she know that the white pith helmet looks like something out of 1905 rather than 2018?  That it visually brands her as an imperialist?
     Is she even dumber than her husband?
