Ever since a candid nine second clip that captured Melania Trump looking absolutely distraught over something her husband grumbled at her during last week’s inauguration began circulating on social media, the Internet has been crying out for America’s new First Lady. The hashtag #FreeMelania started trending, with people uploading memes and other messages of support to a woman who clearly has no desire or preparation for the tremendous new responsibility that has been thrust upon her.

Oh, and she stole Michelle Obama’s speech. All this, of course, was after she stole her husband from another woman way back in 1998. So, yeah, she’s not exactly the perfect picture of a charity case.
