A different person asked: “Why is Melania dressed as a nun?”
These were not the only people to make the comparison, with other users suggesting that she was “wearing a nun’s habit at end of row”, dressed as “The Flying Nun” and was “dragged out of bed, put on a nun’s outfit to sneer at Carter’s funeral”.
One account posted twice, once saying: ” wearing the biggest collar I have ever seen. Was she channeling a nun or a cone of shame with that choice.”
It also said: “Did the nun store have a sale?”

Melania Trump was one of the presidential spouses in attendance at Jimmy Carter’s funeral
President Trump, who will take office on January 20, had previously criticised President Carter’s record, and promised to use his second term to undo some of his policies.
This includes rolling back environmental protections, potentially reneging on a 1977 treaty ceding control of the Panama Canal back to its home country and dismantling the federal Department of Education, which Carter helped create in 1979, reports.
Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Florida, on Tuesday, Trump said that the handover of the Panama Canal was “a disgrace what took place”, and “Jimmy Carter gave it to them for one dollar.”
He added: “They laugh at us because they think we’re stupid. Well, we’re not stupid anymore.”
