The former Queen of France’s name started trending as soon as the White House announced plans to renovate the Rose Garden
Melania Trump is being compared to Marie-Antoinette because many believe her decision to refresh the Rose Garden is tone-deaf.
A trait that defines the royal who is infamous for dismissing the concerns of the starving population.
The perceived lack of compassion and humility shown by both women has enraged the citizens of their respective countries.
