In another long interview with Trump’s best buddies at Fox & Friends, the President had the gall to compare Melania to the irreplaceable Jackie O—the beloved former first lady Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. When referring to the classic baby blue paint job on Air Force One, which Trump plans on changing to the colors of the American flag, he implied that we don’t need any reminders of Jackie O anymore because we have Melania.
“That was Jackie O and that’s good, but we have our own Jackie O today, it’s called Melania,” he said. “We’ll call it Melania T.”
No, we won’t.
Trump wraps things up by comparing Melania Trump with Jackie Kennedy.

Naturally, people are rather upset about the comparison. Jackie has been remembered through the years for being a fashion icon and for restoring the White House. She endured hardship that Melania has never known, including losing two of her children in infancy and, of course, witnessing the assassination of her husband as he sat right next to her in the motorcade. Jackie O is easily one of the most popular First Ladies of all time.
Melania, meanwhile, wears crap like this:

Now, for perhaps the first time in history, “Jackie O” is trending on Twitter, but not for a positive reason.
Me: Jackie O is trending! That's cool. I wonder why.

Please stop comparing Melania to Jackie O.

Jackie O was the epitome of grace & beauty. She overcame a plethora of hardships & heartaches, with poise and elegance. She was an incredible First Lady & an even more marvelous woman. She balanced passions + duties, and did so with class.
Don’t EVER compare her to Melania. pic.twitter.com/tRzVJLEtNI

Comparing Jackie O to Melania T is like comparing a good mother to Casey Anthony.

If he means that she’s going to marry another rich guy after he dies, then yes, spot on. https://t.co/0ArPMUYQY9

Likening 'Melania T' to 'Jackie O' is like me likening myself to Serena Williams. Serena won a championship while pregnant. I on the other had gas yesterday and spent the whole day in bed. pic.twitter.com/MI0f5dOA2T

Do you think the #MoronInChief realises Jackie O was called that because of the man she married after the President? So maybe we should wait and see who Melania marries next before giving her a nickname. I have no doubt whoever she marries will have to be as rich as Onassis… pic.twitter.com/xHjpnDZJnH

The only thing Melania and Jackie O have in common is that their husbands weren't faithful.

Many people have also pointed out that there was a recent First Lady who is much more deserving of comparison to Jackie.
