Image (not from article) from, with headline: ‘Miserable’ Melania in FUNERAL dress on Pope visit as hubby hand-holding drama boils over: MELANIA Trump stepped out in a funeral black outfit for a third public appearance – after two days of publicly refusing to hold the President's hand.

Excerpt:
In yet another unnecessary attack on the first lady, CNN contributor Kate Anderson Brower, who purports to be an expert on the customs and norms of first ladies and yet has never met Melania Trump, wrote Thursday that Mrs. Trump "proved that she doesn't understand what it means to be first lady." ...

When Brower claims Mrs. Trump has no understanding of what it means to be first lady, she intentionally ignores all the effort the first lady has put into fulfilling the traditional responsibilities of the role. ... most recently, she has represented the country at a state funeral. ...
