First lady delivers lunch to firefighters and families in DC

The first lady showed up unannounced to visit with District of Columbia firefighters and emergency medical services personnel last week. She brought White House-prepared boxed lunches, tote bags, reusable face masks and hand sanitizer, her office said. She also met with police officers. The lunch boxes were delivered cold, but with “perfect reheating instructions,” ...

“The president and I will continue to support our dedicated firefighters, police members, EMS personnel and other critical first responders who put their lives at risk each day in order to keep our neighborhoods safe,” Mrs. Trump said afterward in a written statement.

A week earlier, the first lady slipped out of the White House on a surprise visit to deliver lunches, tote bags and other unspecified items to The Mary Elizabeth House, her office said. The center provides comprehensive family support to single mothers and their children.

Video shared on her Twitter and Facebook accounts show the first lady in a yard at The Mary Elizabeth House and speaking through a face mask with women, some holding young children. She’s also seen handing out lunch boxes stamped with “Be Best”.

She left her stilettos at home.

Thanks anyway, Malaria. Somehow, I've never been that hungry.

She can dress anything up! For the evening she just changes her shoes to stilettos and wears a Baby blue coat with dangly arms.

What she's choosing to do for those first responders is quite gracious -- and she's not afraid to be seen wearing a mask.

Now, if we can just get her to get rid of the "tennis pavilion" she's building on the WH grounds. It's the "people's house," not a resort, for chrissake!

She has not been wearing masks, or engaging in charity until Trump's handlers decided the election was at risk. It's not gracious. It is politics.

I actually have fewer problems with the tennis pavilion than I do with what she is doing to curry political favor for her husband. Every president remakes the white house to suit their needs. Obama remade the tennis court so it could be used for both basketball and tennis. Clinton converted the butler's pantry into a familiy kitchen.

This particular revision - or at least her publicity of it - is ill-timed, self-centered, and precisely who she is. It is "Look at me," rather than a politically calculated photo op. Far less dangerous.

as the most useless, disengaged First Lady ever. They're trying to roll out a new version prior to the election.

This is the “Go on, give it your best shot” type. They have their value.

They're desperately trying a new strategy since Fat Nixon's poll numbers are in the crapper.

She might start to make a dent in the damage she has done to the title First Lady.

She is a child hating scumbag and we see right through this bullshit
