While many across the globe are focused on the spread of the COVID-19 virus, First Lady Melania Trump decided to share some good news.
On Thursday, March 5, Trump posted on her official FLOTUS Twitter account.
Along with some photos, Mrs. Trump shared:
"I am excited to share the progress of the Tennis Pavillion at [the White House]. Thank you to the talented team for their hard work and dedication."
But rather than the "ooos" and "ahhhhs" she expected, Trump's posts got mainly boos and hisses.
Many people invoked the name of Marie Antoinette.
After the backlash, the First Lady responded with another tweet.
But people quickly called out the apparent hypocrisy of the FLOTUS and her #BeBest campaign.

It appears neither the original tweet by President Trump's third wife nor her scolding of her critics had the desired affect.
Maybe instead of #BeBest, someone could be better.
